C.J. Hopkins was charged with a “thought crime” for two Tweets that questioned the official Covid pandemic narratives propagated by the German government. His court speech is posted here.
We never had "free speech", especially not in Germany, where even expressing skepticism about a certain historical event (only one ;) has been illegal for decades. They even arrest old frail grandmothers for it. Even in "the land of the free" they arrest authors (OF FICTION) and cartoonists, if their art is deemed "obscene" - this has been going on for decades too. This covid censorship was nothing fundamentally new.
