It's always milquetoast shit like To Kill a Mockingbird and never treatises on Holocaust Denial or bombmaking manuals.

>leftists now put their liberal trash next to LOTR to make them seem valid

I remember how back in the limewire days they would always list obscure looney tunes cartoons with BANNED. Even if they weren't racist.
Ahh marketing.

calves + feet

All these crap should be banned.

>>20514248

In what universe? Sandniggerland?

>>20514248
What country is this?

I guess the concept for this is that any of those books were banned at one time at one place in the world?

Most of them were banned by like a middle school for a couple of years because parents were worried about their kids reading the word nigger or sodomy in class. Or Boston banned it.

Was that really banned? It was an awful book that hoped you wouldn't notice the same tired tropes of silicon valley that have been talked to death for years.

>>20514738

I'm not a leftist or a liberal, I'm just good at not flattening entire political groups into broad stereotypes because I can't into nuance.

I know most of that is way more inoffensive but seeing Vonnegut in a banned book shelf is always weird to me.

when/where the hell is that shitty margaret atwood novel banned?
And why isn't there actual stuff like Protocols of the Elders of Zion or Anarchist's Cookbook?

>>20514723

>>20514778
Banned typically means from school classrooms/libraries.

Does anyone have the woman many tickboxes vs a man with one tickbox but the women is all the brands of leftism and the man's single box says liberal and I think the man has a chad face on him meme, so that I can use it in situations like this.

>>20514248
Yeah, “banned books” is twisted for political reasons to include being told that you can’t teach 8 year old schoolchildren about anal sex and cutting their genitals off or that White people are evil

>>20514989

>I can only express myself through memes

>>20514937
I'm not. This is exactly where they are getting these lists of banned/challenged books. They do not mean banned in the sense of "you are not allowed to own this book in this country" but that the books are being taken out of schools.

>>20514881
in the trash where it belongs

>>20514248
there is no such thing as banned books. What a book was not on the curriculum in some high school in the 1960s? Just lies to sell more so called banned books. People are so retarded

>>20515040
Memes express things that aren't appropriate to say. For example why say "haha you made a comment about me simplifying the already reductionist concept of leftism into a single thing: liberalism, when in fact leftism encompasses many different ideologies, some of which can actually be violently opposed to each other. Well friend, I understand your comment perfectly well and in spite of that i still maintain that you are a pathetic weakling and I am still going to refer to you all as "liberals". I think this is going to upset you a great deal. U mad? Also, I am very muscular and supremely attractive; the epitome of masculinity. This means that even if what I am saying is objectively wrong, I am still right because I look like chad and have a big penis. You on the other hand? You're a seething ugly pasty little worm, crying at your utter inferiority to myself." When you can just post a haha wojak maymay

>>20514248

>>20514248
Yeah, I never knew Gatsby was banned. Kind of weird.

>>20515085

What in the blue fuck are you talking about? Liberals exist explicitly to maintain the status quo. Don't tell me you actually believe Nancy fucking Pelosi is trying to destroy the systems that made her richer than God. I refuse to insult your intelligence by suggesting you actually believe that.

This is unironically why I hate most bookstores now. Seriously, a good chunk of them have been taken over by woke-ass retarded faggots. They don't have anything truly interesting on their shelves, it's basically a ploy to get rich white basic bitch liberal women and reddit-cockguzzzling onions faggots to spend 30 USD on a book that they could have gotten for 5 USD used, as if the new book was inherently any better. Or they sell books that cater to certain groups. Example: Books on "manliness" which is basically how to grill/camp/etc, or YA diversity fests.

Seriously. The most popular bookstore in my town has the same dumb shit. You ask the little twinky faggot with painted nails and a rainbow enamel pin for anything that could be questionable, or not mainstream, you get asked why you want to read that in a condescending matter. Then again, Hell will freeze over before those books get sold in print at a bookstore, lest they be shut down or attacked by the liberals.

Meanwhile, the used bookstore a few miles down the road is 1/10th the price and is run by an old boomer who sells anything from sci-fi paperbacks with sexy 80's babes on the cover, to multiple WWII history books, to anything else one could think to read, and he doesn't care. Got most of my books there for decent prices. I buy from flea markets and library/estate sales as well.

>>20516765
Boomers are cringe but also based

Yeah. No Call of the Crocodile

>>20514248
can't tell if that's a tiny adult or a kid

>>20514248
Shouldn't this contain books that are more universally banned like mein kampf?

>>20514248

yeah, the covers are all messed up from humidity. The manager of this store must not care very much about their job

>>20514723
>Leftists hate liberals
True in principle. But we're no longer in the 19th century and liberals proper don't functionally exist anymore. Leftists and today's "liberals" vote for the same people and have the same enemies

>>20514723
imagine believing this when they have the same exact fucking social beliefs and agree with every consequence that liberal societies have facilitated

>>20515146
This is the problem with you fucking morons. When leftists say they hate liberals, what they really mean is that they hate a tiny class of elite Democrats. The average person in the West is liberal. They agree with liberalism. So do most leftists. They have no issue with the basic premises of individual liberty, hedonism, secularity, etc

Every time I see a Banned Books section in a bookstore, I want to set up a bookshelf in the store, label it "Books This Store Bans" and then load it up with anarchist works, loompanics stuff, and the complete works of John Norman.

now ITT: post real banned books

>DUHHH WHERE IS “x or y” BANNED BOOK, THEN IT’D BE A REAL BANNED BOOK SHELF.
it’s simple faggot. take the $30 hit to your wallet, buy a few copies of something like Turner Diaries, and go to some book store and put them on the “banned book” shelf. if you really want to be cheeky do it and then a few days later come back and take photos and bring it to a media source and complain about heckin right wingers, and then watch them do a whole media circlejerk about how it’s dangerous to have such a horrible book sold in a store like that. this is all satire btw lmao I would never egg someone on to do something that would result in you owing damages to a book retailer.

>>20514866
The anarchist's cookbook sucks

>>20517187

Even the Neo-Nazis who're required to own the damn thing and black out the annotations don't actually want to read Mein Kampf. Probably the only people who've actually read it in the last eighty years have been Hitler's biographers.

>>20518889
Why do they black out the annotations? I have the Murphy translation and there's barely annotations. There's only so few of them and the most unforgettable one is the translator's note for weltanschauung.

>>20518865

Germany during WW2, since Germany was at war with the UK, British books were banned
It wasn't banned because of the content, in an alternate universe where Edward joined the Axis LOTR would have been praised by the NSDAP as true aryan literature
All of these "banned books" sections are incredibly misleading

>>20518660
>Mein Kampf and Irreversible Damage aren't banned in any jurisdiction
this is so fucking lame, pls kill yourselves
Mein Kampf was banned in Germany till 2016, and the unedited version is still banned

>Chase Strangio, an attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), tweeted that "stopping the circulation of this book and these ideas is 100% a hill I will die on." Strangio later deleted the tweet, saying he was not calling for a government ban but "to create the information climate for the market to be more supportive of trans self-determination".[36]

I think the sale of Animal Farm is still banned in Vietnam but everyone can read it.

>>20514248
Nearly all of these books were banned in schools because they included sodomy or obscene sex acts. To the leftist, this means these books are "dangerous" in some way and to be praised. There are no complex political messages, there is no speech to hide, there is no expression of dissent against the government- just cooming.
And these leftists believe they're being banned for political reasons- no, it's just disgusting.

The only 'leftists' I've seen that weren't are fucking stalinists and maoists and dogshit like that. Anyway liberals don't exist either. Fact of the matter is you all support the status quo and defend it against genuinely outsider movements or criticism more often than not. So anyone calling themselves a leftist is what you call liberal trash too. If things were based on specific knowledge and desires, rather than identity and aesthetic, this may not be the case but it was always the case. Because it is based on those things, the groupings themselves are just a means of grifting. And grifters work with what we already have i.e. the status quo.

>banned books
can buy them in a mainstream bookstore
