Seriously, if you don’t know what something means, don’t use the the damned phrase.
“For insulting” “For wearing” are not thought crimes. A handy rule to detect a thought crime is this: unless someone was jailed just for thinking it wasn’t a thought crime.
Please, actually read 1984.
- bmelton 8y agoI've read 1984, thanks. As I mentioned (in an edit) to my post; in the first case, they weren't convicted for wearing T-shirts, because wearing T-shirts is perfectly legal. They wee convicted because of the presumption of anti-semitism in the message on the T-shirts, which is neither obvious nor absolute.
