New Bill Would Create 'Thoughtcrime' Database That Could Be Virtual End to Freedom of Speech

A new bill being proposed in Minnesota that would compile alleged “incidents of bias” even if they don’t break any laws is being panned by critics who say that the state is on the road to creating a “thoughtcime” database.

The bill would set up a system for authorities in the far-left state to report people to authorities who are accused of saying or doing something that constitutes a “slur” against another person or protected group. The reports would be amassed in a database to be maintained by the state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, Fox News reported.

In an overt threat to free speech, the bill, House File 181, would require the state to keep records identifying the person accused of saying something offensive as well as the identity of the victim “relevant to that bias.”

Would you be willing to fight and die for multiculturalism?  Would you put your life on the line for “Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity” (DIE); “Environmental, Social, and corporate Governance” (ESG); or other Marxist worldviews?  Would you go to war to preserve the right of delusional men to use women’s restrooms and dominate women’s sports?  Would you fight for any government that hunts down and imprisons J6 protesters as political hostages but celebrates Antifa and Black Lives Matter rioters who cause physical injury and property damage?

Forget it, Jake -- it's Minnesota.
It will probably pass... easily.
