This is why I said, “To save us both time and aggravation please keep the actual definition of “thought crime” in mind, and don’t conflate it with something people actually did.“ Thought crime = the thought itself is a crime, i.e. simply having the thought. Expression is a totally separate thing, and using “thought crime” this way is just announcing that you didn’t actually read 1984. Governments aren't crawling into people's heads just yet, but they are certainly willing to criminalize the communication of thought. No shit. Communication has been subject to government intervention and overreach since th dawn of recorded history. The 1st Ammendment in the US was created for a reason.
