Thus, crimes purely of opinion are punished with prison, as in a dictatorship, even if the things expressed are the absolute truth.
And so, completely indeterminate terms like “make contemptible” are entered into the criminal code as crimes.
This damages the principle of equal treatment, since one may continue to make many groups contemptible, because they are not listed. It is permitted to make contemptible, for instance, entrepreneurs, farmers, priests, the rich, aristocrats, students, families, capitalists, Rotarians, fraternities, teachers, or Freemasons, but not groups defined by race, skin color, language, religion (including the most obscure sects), philosophy, citizenship, ancestry, national or ethnic origin, gender, handicap, age, or sexual orientation (camouflage word for homosexual).
