Indeed, the whole point of my comment is that your definition is bad because it doesn't take into account if something is true or not. Edit: Or, and this is much MUCH more important, whether the statements in question cause real harm to other people.

I'm not accusing you of thought crime, I'm accusing you of stupidity and you disliking it is proving me right.

My interpretation of 1984 was that a thought crime had no regard for the truth.

Words that are not calling for actionable violence can offend nothibg more nothibg less. And u taking offence is your choice and yoyr problem.

I wasnt aware that anyone who disliked your ideas was stupid, thanks for enlightening me. Seems kinda self centred to me but i would be stupid to disagree with on that point.

Only because The Party has no regard for the truth. If, in 1984, The Party were concerned with truth at all then thought crime would also be concerned with the truth. This is because the real definition of thought crime in the context of that story is any thought that isn't approved by The Party.

But you've brought the phrase "thought crime" out if that context and into the real world. Here, truth matters.

Completely untrue, and very disturbing that you'd think otherwise.

That's not why you're stupid, it has nothing to do with me.
