      I can’t do a thought police, but that is categorically what cults do. It’s not thought policing to advise people to be wary of thought policing or to promote scientific literacy and empathy.

        Yeah sure you can do that but people won’t listen. What I mean by thought police is actually doing policing, like “no you can’t say that or we will arrest you” which goes against the idea of freedom of speech. It’s reminiscent of when ussr was jailing karate teachers
