Yeah, but I'm talking about OUR opinion police. Obviously North Korea's opinion police are tyrannical since they judge our opinion police poorly. Also, if our opinion police have changed over time then I am referring specifically to the latest opinion policemen in your specific jourisdiction. We can go all the way down to an individual officer if need be.
If you were that officer, would be confident enough to arrest anyone who disagreed with you? Do you tend to be especially insecure in your beliefs by any chance?
Also, is it still fanaticism if someone is right? What specifically are you trying to say is the problem here?

I strongly believe that it is good to be insecure in your beliefs
I did not expect that.
No wonder you hate the opinion police then. They have confidence in their beliefs and the balls to face down those who disagree with their beliefs. They aren't satisfied with having weak and pathetic beliefs that are only right inside their own heads; they want their beliefs to be reflected in objective reality. You on the other hand, no matter how well thought out your beliefs were, even if they were objectively correct, you would still be ashamed of them.
Is that really the only reason you are against people shutting down speech? Because you were believe that the opinion police should be just as pathetic and ashamed of their beliefs as you are of yours?
