Episode 103: CJ Hopkins on Thought Crime
Charged! Convicted! Sentenced! Then tried?
In this episode, I speak with CJ Hopkins, an award-winning playwright, novelist, and political satirist who lives in Berlin. CJ is in the process of being tried in German court because of tweets he sent on X/Twitter which included an image of his book cover.
The book is a compilation of his essays commenting on what he saw as a totalitarian tendency in German politics related to the pandemic, and swastikas are legal for use in "art or science, research or teaching" in Germany, so the image itself was not the basis of his alleged crime.
Whether or not you agree with his perspective, his experience of being charged in this way, and of the process he is being subjected to by the German court, is worrying, and worth hearing.
You can find CJ on X and Substack, and his personal website is www.cjhopkins.com.
