Yes, thought-crime isn't, and shouldn't ever be, real. That just means the government can't criminalize you for thoughts you've only had in your head & not carried out into action though, it doesn't mean that every single thought you voluntarily and consciously* choose to have is all fine and dandy, morally speaking. Something not being a crime (and it being nigh impossible and generally an all-around terrible idea to even *attempt* to criminalize) ≠ said thing being morally correct or even morally neutral.

You're legally allowed to have opinions that are morally wrong. I'm legally allowed to judge you and call you out for it. I might even say it to your face. It might even hurt your feelings.

(*intrusive thoughts being a thing that exists)

#governments shouldn't be allowed to punish people for their thoughts yes #but that's because governments (or any other form of authority) shouldn't be trusted with that kind of power #not because all ideas are valid and equally worthy of considering #''kill the cop in your head'' means acknowledging that not all illegal actions are immoral yes #but it *also* means that not all legal actions are moral!!!!#is this about my parents screaming literal 1984 whenever I point out their racial ''''realist'''' opinions are pretty fucking reprehensible #even if I were to believe (and I don't lol) their assertion #that they're not actually *doing* anything or even voting about it (*immigration isn't a hot-button topic in korea rn)?#or is this about dudebros shutting down any critiques on racist and sexist tropes and trends in media with ''iT'S jUsT fICTioN bRo!!!!''#or am I vagueblogging about a secret third and infinitely more stupider thing?#¿Por qué no los tres?#mmari rants #vent post
