Any book which contains any segments talking about capitalism, disassociation of workers etc. and contains words like marx, dialectic materialism etc. should be burnt.
Not only is it advocating of an ideology that killed millions on people which leftists are more than happy to deny. It outs the writter as an instant monkey see, monkey do pseud.

Any "LGBTQIA+" book. It's either something like the worst of self-help mixed with the worst fiction, or a whiny rambling treatise about how totally normal childhood experiences like being bullied are somehow unique to gay people and extra harmful to gay people.

Everyone is expected to clap like a trained seal because that style of content is what's politically promoted right now.

A book doesn't magically become better because you inserted a faggot or because someone called your faggot a faggot. It just feels like a trope terrible writers use to dry to draw in Twitter's mindless "YAS QUEEN SLAYY" mob.

He's right though.

I'd be more sympathetic to the "just read the theory bro" nonsense, if you weren't advocating studying an ideology that's killed about a billion people in the last hundred years.

Commies should be burned at the stake and their works should be uncerimoniously cast into the sea.

yeah, its a problem that has been amplified to a ridiculous degree due to radical left ideologies dominating many public domains (media, Hollywood, universities, etc).

what happened to just having characters that just also happen to be gay? Omar from The Wire is widely beloved by all, despite being a cock sucker, partially because being gay isnt the all encompassing trait that defines him.

None of your guesses are accurate, except the American part, and Shapiro should be gassed, along with a few million of his closest family members.

You don't have to be a Zionist neoconservative to understand the reality that communism failed, and that it failed because the theory doesn't fucking work.

Stories that constantly refer to other stories.
Like Cloud Atlas which constantly references Gulag Archipelago, like why do I have to read a different book to understand your story?

Or literally writing that there is a bible parallel happening, it's fine if the parallel is there and you can enjoy it if you see it, but forcing it down my throat just makes me cringe.

I significantly enjoyed Mumo Jumbo by Ishmael Reed, a batshit conspiracy novel about the Knights Templar trying to stop jazz music. It fits right in with Gravity's Rainbow and Illuminatus! as the the third part of a triumvirate of 70's paranoia fiction.

If it was written for a woman. Fuck men I do hate women so fucking much, I don't even want to fuck them anymore due to the hatred I have towards them. Yesterday I went out with this friend (female) of mine. I was not even interested in being her boyfriend of anything because she's kind of vapid but damn god, she wouldn't stop acting as if I desired to fuck her. She would get back if I dared putting a finger on her, she would look at me with disgust if I ever complimented her. Fuck dude I just wanted to be damn nice with you and you are treating me like shit. So we went to the cinema with her and another friend she has because apparently someone (male) was supposed to come with them and cancelled, so I had to go instead. The friend decided to leave us for half an hour because she found "funny" to have us together and I had to deal with this obviously-ignoring-me shithead all that time. She even got angry at me because I touched her fucking hand by accident, I don't even know what the fuck is wrong with people anymore. At least I got her qt friend's number but she keeps telling me to text that piece of shit.

I also don't read Tolstoy; he's a fag.
