I've never read that book, I'm not really sure what you mean by thought police though, they don't know people's thoughts so the only way they can criticize people is if they're explicit about their thoughts, and thus it's merely one side responding to another side and vice versa. |
"Only if they're explicit about their thoughts"...
Wait, so you're saying it's OK to think anything you want, as long as you don't express it?
So if you say some scientific stuff like "There are 2 genders determined by chromosomes" or "Men and women, or Caucasians and Africans are not biologically identical", and if it displeases our SJWs overlord, it's bad?
Because in the book you go to jail (or get killed?) as soon as the government knows that you hold scientific knowledge, or any kind of independant thought. So scientists memorize scientific books, go to exile and shut up, waiting for better times to come in order to bring back knowledge to humanity at that time. Otherwise, only mindless puppets watching TV all day are allowed. Or the firemen in charge of burning the books (and heretics IIRC, not sure about that).
Yep, your doubt makes that story so much better...
