Leftists are tyrants who pretend to be victims, oppressors who play at being oppressed, and their abuses come accompanied by pretending to be the abused.
Nowhere is that more ridiculously obvious than in the farce of ‘banned books’.
The only books actually banned are conservative books, which frequently can’t even be published by a heavily monopolized publishing industry controlled by a handful of huge players, mostly European-owned. Lately, the incestuous publishing-academic industries have taken to pretending that schools removing graphically pornographic or racist books aimed at teens from reading lists or libraries means that those books are now ‘banned’.
(If that were the case, then every book that isn’t on the list or in a library is also banned.)
Lefties and plain grifters like Charlie Crist put on a show of promoting “banned books” that are being shoved into every school. Now The Hill awkwardly observes that the “banned books” are actually bestsellers.
For instance, the most challenged book last year — “Gender Queer” by Maia Kolbabe — saw a 130 percent increase in U.S. print sales in May, according to a report by NPD BookScan. The publishing tracker noted this came after dozens of schools pulled the book from their libraries and the media covered the controversy around it.
“Gender Queer” follows Kolbabe’s exploration of sexuality and identity outside the gender binary.
Notably, Republicans in North and South Carolina, Texas and Virginia have called the book “pornographic” and “likely illegal.”
Why would they say that? Maybe it’s the pages of “explicit illustrations depicting oral sex.”
Banned Book Week, happening now until Sept. 24, also hopes to bring more attention to banned books and the impacts of book censorship and intellectual freedom.
Right, those banned bestselling books.
Yeah, I was reading a story about banned books in the local library system earlier. That seems to be another narrative the leftists are pushing these days. Including there heroism in resisting banning some leftist books.
“The only books actually banned are conservative books, which frequently can’t even be published by a heavily monopolized publishing industry controlled by a handful of huge players, mostly European-owned.”
Laughably false, as the conservative publishers who will print like Regnery who will print every piece of David Horowitz’s toilet paper shows.
The “Big Five” publishers, all located in NY, control almost all traditional publishing. They are narrow-mindedly woke, and exclude any book containing even a little conservatism.
Alternatives like Regnery Publishing are available.. But why are conservatives shut out of the mainstream?
A literary agent at one of the top agencies was instantly removed, without a chance to defend herself, when they learned she joined the social media platform Parler. The agent, a Christian conservative, said she was looking for alternatives to Twitter, because of Twitter’s censorship.
This wasn’t your best attempt. No rice at the 50 cent party lunch room for you.
So Regnery resists the ban of conservative books by EVERY major publisher, and that’s you’re deranged argument that there is no ban? That’s trolltarded, Peebagger. No wonder only a fringe minority of evil mutants patronize the fake news media.
Just because your writing sucks shit and can’t get past basic editorial quality control standards, doesn’t mean there’s a ban.
Sez the fake news media troll who writes at a fifth grade level, as all you trolls do.
How are your pee bags doing?
I’m guessing the surge in “Gender Queer” sales can be attributed to a bunch of overweight, smelly 30-40 something losers who just found out about it.
The only books that I know of that have actually been taken out of some liberal school district (redundant) libraries are “To Kill A Mockingbird” and “The Adventures of Huck Fin”.
I forgot, The Bible has been band as well.
Wow, better tell Zondervan
Was this some sort of jab at me?
Wow, better tell your mom.
Try donating a Thomas Sowell book to your local library…. and see if it is warmly accepted. If it is… see if it makes it to a shelf.. #JustSaying
In any case, these books aren’t being “banned.” Anyone wanting to read them or have a family member read them is free to purchase a copy. They have simply been determined to be inappropriate to be available to students in school libraries. Dr. Jill Biden said that any book should be available in school libraries. Accordingly, I plan to purchase a copy of “The Story of O” and donate it to my local elementary school’s library. I’ll tell them Dr. Jill sent me.
As is to be expected, the Leftists don’t understand the meaning of “banned.”
