Remember that they have succeeded when they (the government) does not have to censor your speech or thoughts, but that you censor yourself.

I believe the term was a component of “ThoughtCrime” called “Crimethink”.

Where even thinking it was a crime.

Not to parse definitions but I believe you are referring to “Crimestop”

“Crimestop” means to rid oneself of unwanted thoughts, i.e., thoughts that interfere with the ideology of the Party. This way, a person avoids committing thoughtcrime.”
