It's strange how so many people despise the idea of thought crimes and yet there are some thoughts that have essentially permanent social consequences if you reveal them to others, even if you never do real actions related to the thoughts.
Effectively, crimes of thought.

A surprising number of thoughts in the present day are things where the people who have them should be encouraged to go to therapy, but due to the culture of the world, are instead encouraged to disappear or to die, even if they haven't acted on the thoughts or don't intend to.

Has this toxic mindset always been how most of society reacts?
Or is it a product of the extra bravery that the internet provides via anonymity?
Should people with "bad thoughts" not be encouraged to get help for their bad thoughts?

I imagine if people do respond or interact with this thread, it's gonna be a real mess, but hey, I just wanted to share my thoughts.
