In my experience, most people who talk about 1984 haven't read it. It is not high on my book list, but I have read it.

I have a whole rant about how 1984 is extremely wrong on linguistics, so I really do wish we'd just stop quoting Newspeak altogether, lol

Newspeak is a constructed language made for a singular purpose. Saying it’s wrong on linguistics is missing the point.

Wouldn't it be unrightthink, anyway? Or maybe ungoodthink?

no it would be "ungood think" or "double-plus ungood think" etc. bad et al. were removed from the language to "simplify" things
