I don't think that's really their style. Too Soviet and heavy handed. They prefer to offer their own narrative and just blast it everywhere and call you a low status chud if you disagree then to outright ban stuff. There are exceptions of course, especially at politically sensitive moments.

>>21668989
they will shame you for hurting the environment. come on, it's so obvious this is going to be their play.

>>21668982
only 1 side bans books and it's not the left

>>21668989
This, rather than outright censor they will make the majority feel immoral for even thinking to demand no censorship

The rightists can ban books too, poltard.
Still buying physical books btw.

>>21668995
>banning books to save the environment
Absolutely no fucking chance.

Look, OP, I'm as guilty as anyone else for falling for these low-quality bait threads, but you should really try to do better than this.

>>21668982
I’m quite confident this schizo has not a read a book in the last 3 years

>>21668989
I'm not so sure they won't try
This is basically the /lit/ analog to a cashless society /biz/ is rightly fears


I think you're right in the brave new world aspect of your forecast though
Already the regime has subsumed basically the entire Western Canon as acceptable reading material in that you can read pretty much anything and it doesn't matter, it's all a coffeetable curiosity because we in da future now and none of that stuff "applies" to the gallant work of The Science®

>>21669014
how about for equity? you wouldn't oppose EQUITY would you?

>>21669022
Exactly! Books give privileged people an extra advantage that disrupts the achievement of equity 4 bleck ppl in th' community

The far right are clearly just as banhappy but the "libertarian" right which I think honestly is the majority of people who say theyre right wing in anglo countries, doesnt want to ban stuff I dont think.

The only time I see a censorious impulse in them is when it comes to what children should be taught, which is a difficult topic since children are like half-people and have different rights and privileges

>>21668995
A fucking Kobo or a Kindle damage more the enviroment than any book ever will, everyone know this... right?... RIGHT?

Mining the resources for the CPU, the manufacture, the plastics, all the servers and cooling, all the e-waste, the lithium batteries, etc.

>muh trees!
renewable, just grow more.

You're talking about leftists, of course they're going to go with "we have to ban books to save the trees".
Every one of their "green energy" scams is environmentally disastrous and has nothing to do with even hypothetically "saving le climate".

they dont need to ban books when people people dont read

A rightist walks into a ba- I mean school. He goes to the library and bans 20 books, then tells the librarian, "Hey you better watch out, that leftist is thinking about banning some books."

In the near future, the government will forcefully feminise all men aged 19+ who haven't lost their virginity yet. They will be equipped with artificial wombs and gang raped by niggers, in order to fix the falling birth rates.

stop putting child pornography in elementary schools

Doesnt matter if it's TRUE or not. What matters is that physical books are still the absolute best medium for knowledge conservation over mutilppe generations, and that needs to be changed for the Powers That Be to conserve power.

>>21669110
read the bible

I'm a leftist and I only buy used books
I think farming trees is the least of our worries anyway

>>21669113
I already have

we're in the brave new world timeline, there's not much need to ban books

>>21669081
They are, they openly state they would ban all types of stuff if they got power.

>>21669112
>best medium of conservation
it isn't true for all books though. Source materials are important, and some books uses paper that are literal trash.

>>21668982
too long imo

nothing is that horribly sensitive and they can easily drown out renegade video essayists/podcasts/twitter guys with torrents and oceans of pro-gubby diarrhea from the usual suspects. you saw this play out in real time two years ago. hard copies don't matter if nobody can be bothered to read them themselves

>>21669130
only things that leftytroon pedophiles would get mad about

>>21669163
Well again, that's about kids, and kids are where lolbertarian logic kind of breaks down. But the far right want to ban commie/LGBT etc stuff in general, while the libertarian(not really but I dont have a better name for them) just want total freedom of speech as far as I can tell

>>21669168
that's because lolberts are retarded, we can already see what happens when society tolerates leftytroons

Religion is already banned from public schools, so your faggot "le both sides" doesn't work, as usual.
And no, I don't merely want all these faggot child porn books banned, the authors and anyone trying to place them in school libraries should be shot in the head and have their bodies unceremoniously dumped in a mass grave.
This isn't the kind of issue that liberalism can moderate, the fact these people are still in my country, sucking up my air is unacceptable.

>>21669008
Wanting to keep literal grooming propaganda out of middle schools is a little different from banning actual literature

>>21669210
>Religion is already banned from public schools
Where? In the USA? Where you recite the Pledge of Allegiance in schools?

if you killed everyone in that room there would be an objective improvement in the universe. ethically and morally it is the right thing to do to kill everyone in that room.

managed forests are fine in terms of environmental protection. Better than open fields. If anything, paper will be used more than ever in the next decades.

Equality of opportunity, not equality of outcome.
You don't want socially-promoted morons designing airplanes or building bridges.

>>21669060
And if they don't want to kill trees for book paper, they can grow hemp. It makes fine paper.

Here's what I read in Genesis 19:
[30] And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters.
[31] And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth:
[32] Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
[33] And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
[34] And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our Father.
[35] And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
[36] Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.

He’s some angry dumbass, the usual ragegrifter who criticizes modern pop culture but he randomly makes schizophrenic remarks on Twitter like this. He got called out by a buncha his compatriots for a really fucking weird rant about how “your middle school bully is being more successfully than you”

>>21668982
Leftists aren’t censorious.

The “left” is a general ideology, not a ball team. The general ideal gets broken, you are not practicing that ideology.

Yeah like your current freedom to go to work, watch TeeVee, eat goyslop, get intoxicated on weekends, feed your children to the gender queer IQ shredder of public education, and get divorced lol

>>21668982
People don't want to ban books, they want to ban ideological opposition. This isn't unique to the modern day, this comes up time and again over the course of history. It never turns out well and hasn't stuck. Calm yourself.

>>21668982
Oh God, how long until they come after tar?

>People don't want to ban books, they want to ban ideological opposition.
Any ideology that's so horrific that one would be justified in banning shouldn't be censored, it's adherents should just be rounded up and exexuted, like the transgender movement.

>>21669393
I wonder if anyone has tried making a book out of rolling papers. Printing tiny books is all the rage these days among the avant-garde.

I would enter "tar --help"
