What the fuck is going on?

The far left are falling over themselves to cancel, censor nd edit books (see the recent Roald Dhal fiasco). The far right are chomping at the bit to ban books and shut down public libraries? (Pic related). And yet there never has been a generation who are so ambivalent about reading as the current crop of kids. It's tik tok, other social media, black pop culture, vidya and anime that turns them into degenerates and troons.
Why have all the "culture war" retards got such a hate-boner for books when kids are watching music videos that look like softcore pornography where the frontman is "niggering" and "motherfucking" everything in sight and boasting unbiden about getting his dick sucked and becoming a 1 man crime spree.
Books are the least of your problems.
Is it just some kind of symbolic, virtue signaling shtick?
