But here "offensive" is a judgement on thoughts. The very idea of thought crimes are criminal because they are thoughts that are "offensive" to the state. Here both pedophilia and racism are deemed "offensive" thought crimes against the state. The truth is you can't support one without supporting the other, and you can't condemn one without condemning the other. From a 1st Amendment point of view both should be allowed. From a moral point of view both should be forbidden.No. Not “thoughts” of course. The criminal act is possession of offensive material.
But you are arguing to have your cake and eat it too on thought crime.
