You may be guilty of thoughtcrime if ...

User avatar
Comrade Jeff Foxworthy has suggested that we compile a list of signs of thoughtcrime, similar to the one he has compiled for the red-state, bush-voting, fly-over, flag-waving Americans who for whatever counter-revolutionary reason go under the name of "red" necks.

For instance, "You might be guilty of a thoughtcrime if you think Hillary really gives a damn about The Common Good™."

Please post your signs and observations here.

Since we're talking thoughtcrime here, how about a little reminder of its seriousness from the "blueprint", otherwise known as 1984:

"Thoughtcrime does not entail death: thoughtcrime IS death."

Komrade Palimpsest, surely you realize all litterature is to be tossed down the memory hole. I suggest you toss such ridiculous propaganda. I am sending you an extra copy of Dude, Where's My Country? for good measure.


As Comrade Citizen J has noted elsewhere in this forum, Orwell's 1984 is actually a blueprint, "cleverly disguised as a book", for the creation of the inevitable totalitarian state. It details all of the techniques that we and our fellow travelers have been using to control thought and crush individualism in order to promote true progressive collectivism.

But, by all means, please send me a copy of Dude, Where's My Country?--as I've often wondered the same thing. Be sure to use the government post office, not one of those capitalist shipping entities!

Dr. P, I am confused. To me it seems that the novel 1984 was an obvious attempt by the capital pig, Orwell, to try and villify the glorious inevitable future that he saw!! Perhaps I was wrong in this asessment; I am always on guard for those who would do in the glorious future we have in store for Amerika.

...if you think Martha Stewart was NOT guilty. (corrected by Red Eye)

That's a horrible thought crime, Citizen Betty, to think that Martha Stewart was not guilty. She was guilty already when she hired her first employee and made first capitalistic profit by exploiting that poor person. The rest of her life is too horrible to contemplate. We generally oppose death penalty (until the revolution arrives) but in Martha Stewart's case the Party is willing to make an exception. Remember - developing class envy and encouraging the People to count other People's money are important elements in conditioning Americans for the revolution.

Your title of the Kommissar is suspended until you repent and undergo a series of self-criticism sessions with an outpatient gulag program at the Karl Marx Treatment Center.

I am sorry for that mistake, I thought that all the cult groups that worship Martha Stewart in their insanity could be used as useful idiots by us to quicken the comming of the revolution. After several sessions of self-criticism classes I understand my mistake and feel horrible for making it.

Comrade, despite your taking the name of the most evil of capitalist profit-whores (no doubt in satire -- though you think too much...), you certainly have the idea. "Thinking" is an outmoded concept, and should only be done by the one and only licensed Party Brain.

You are guilty of thoughtcrime if:

I forget, who was Prometheus?

Prometheus was a demigod, one of the Titans, who was/is worshiped by craftsmen. Zeus hid fire from man, but Prometheus stole it and gave it back to us. This really pissed Zeus off so he chained Prometheus to a rock and every day an eagle came and ate out his liver, which then grew back every night so it would be there for the eagle to eat again the next day (kinda like Sisyphus and his boulder)... eventually Hercules rescued Prometheus...

My mommy gives me 5 gummie bears each morning before I go to school. But only if I behaved the day before and helped with the dishes and kept my room neat. I'm a good boy and try very hard to make my mommy happy.
On my first day at school, my teacher, Ms. Primwhistle asked each of the children what they had brought to school that day. Since it was the first schoolday none of the other children had brought any goodies for recess. Ms. Primwhistle then began talking about the value of sharing. How the world would be a better place if we all shared what we had. No wars, no poverty, no misery, no hatred, all love and understanding.
Then she approached me and asked "Philo, wouldn't you like to share your gummie bears with the rest of the class?"

I looked up and smiled and said "F**k off Primwhistle you haggy Commie slut, I don't share sh*t with nobody. You want 'em? Try takin' 'em"!
