'''Basic Trope''': If you ever show any sign of rebellion, "they" will come for you. Unfortunately, they are real.
* '''Straight''': The reigning power wipes out any opposition by using thoughtcrime policies.
* '''Exaggerated''': The reigning power accidentally killed itself by thoughtcrime policies, and [[YouCannotKillAnIdea the policies themselves live on]] despite ''clearly'' having nobody to back them.
* '''Downplayed''': Thoughtcrime isn't punished as often as you would expect.
* '''Justified''': The thoughtcrime was required to stop a MindVirus and used for no other purpose, with no torture or death involved in curing the MindVirus. Alternatively, it's [[PlayedStraight why the reigning power is evil]].
* '''Inverted''': The thoughtcrime policies are only towards the reigning power themselves, to eliminate corruption, and only result in being kicked from office.
* '''Subverted''': The thoughtcrime policies are successfully ended by LaResistance... only to discover that a MindVirus was being held back by them.
* '''Double Subverted''': The MindVirus is an example of TakingYouWithMe, or is a [[TheExtremistWasRight good thing left by the now-dead old guard]] or [[HopeSpringsEternal a previously failed rebellion]] in order to [[HopeSproutsEternal have what is right destroy all that is evil once and for all]] but still [[GoodIsNotNice highly contagious]].
* '''Parodied''': The attempts at enforcing thoughtcrime are [[StreisandEffect clearly visible]] and [[WorldOfSnark ridiculed by the public]], despite otherwise working.
* '''Zig Zagged''': The attempts at enforcing thoughtcrime are [[StreisandEffect clearly visible]] and [[WorldOfSnark ridiculed by the public]]... [[AndIMustScream because it's the only form of dissent allowed]]... because the WellIntentionedExtremist[=s=] who started them [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans in the name of good]] soon discovered that ''not'' doing so leads to [[DrivenToMadness widespread insanity]].
* '''Averted''': A world where BigBrotherIsWatching decided that thoughtcrime policies themselves are both illegal ''and'' allowed to be discussed openly despite the agreed immorality of implementing them.
