"Pensée unique" (French pronunciation:[pɑ̃seynik]；French for "single thought") is a pejorative expression for mainstream ideologicalconformism of any kind, almost always opposed to that of the speaker. Originally, it is a French expression and referred to claims that neoliberalism is the only correct way to structure society. The phrase implies that mainstream discussion is limited by ideological assumptions of what is possible. One example of pensée unique given by critics was the motto of Margaret Thatcher (former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom): TINA ("There is no alternative").
The expression was coined by Jean-François Kahn, editor-in-chief of L'Événement du Jeudi,[1] in an editorial in January 1992. The phrase pensée unique is often used by political parties and organisations and in criticism.
The term has been used regarding prohibitionism of marijuana, with some commenters saying that pensée unique is a barrier to legalization.[2]

^ONU condena a Uruguay por violar convenios con la marihuana legal quotation:
"Este es un tema que por primera vez rompe el pensamiento único. Acá se cayó otro muro, el muro del pensamiento único. Las convenciones no son una Biblia, son convenciones y no es el pensamiento único", afirmó Romani.
