Thoughtcrime

Thoughtcrime is a term from George Orwell’s novel "1984," referring to the act of having unapproved thoughts or beliefs that oppose the ruling Party. It represents the violation of mental freedom, as individuals are monitored and punished not only for actions but for their thoughts and opinions. In this context, thoughtcrime highlights the extreme control a government can exert over personal beliefs, emphasizing the suppression of dissent and the importance of maintaining ideological conformity.
