she told me she was "deeply disturbed" by them
i have no fucking idea why she got so emotional about it

she's kind of freaky liberal, sometimes she tells me about how all she wants is for me to contribute positively to society

would somebody explain OP's post to a pleb like me?

Liberalism, not even once.

>>3266354
yeah, she's into stuff like that. one time she got really mad at my father for going on reddit because it "promotes misogyny"

>>3266365

>>3266365

What the fuck is going on in here? Are you all 15? For fuck's sake.

>>3266369
Liberals are tolerant until you read or believe something perceived to be intolerant.

>>3266371
This. Tell your dad to stop doing things I don't like.

>>3266338
It's a legitimate problem.

What I find terrible about American "liberals" is that they somehow managed to take an idea that's inherently good (Art is pretty cool, People shouldn't be mean to other people for stupid reasons, etc) and turned it into a movement fronted by psychopaths and hysteria.

I was in this situation. I wanted to die, and then afterwards I went up to her and said "please don't yell out next time, so the whole room hears, it really makes me uncomfortable." And her answer was basically "No, I'm going to keep doing it because I'm allowed.", spat out that quote and then refused to listen to another word. I wanted to stab her in her fat fucking face, but I just had a meltdown instead.

call the cops

alternately trash their shit

threaten them with a knife

go live on the railroad

learn to play harmonica and roam with musical tramps

Why would they throw those books out? If they're plebs it's not like they know anything about books.

If you're story is actually real I do feel sorry.

This. Call the police and make your parents dig your stuff out of the garbage or, better yet, make them replace it.

>>3266459

>>3266478
>I use a bunch of reaction images I don't know where they are from

There was obviously some sort of lack of filial trust that wasn't there, if it was then this may not have happened. On the other hand, "liberals"(the taking away of books is one example of being not-so-liberal in a classical sense) are genuinely brainwashed scum and I an not surprised by this situation. I wish your dad had stuck up for you or something, but I know for a fact that my dad would just cave in because my mother is a dominating bitch. If for whatever reason I camehome for the holdiays and had a book that they didn't approve of, I'd assume that my parents would just be glad that i'm reading, as they always are. Anyways, if this actually happened OP, I feel that it is misfortunate and that there is no real repair because your parents obviously don't trust you at all and feel that you're going to possibly murder small children. Anyways, good luck.

>>3266412
That was a pretty good song, why are you posting it ironically?

>>3266330

op reads harsh surrealism, his parents think he is mentally ill and/or abuses drugs like mid 20th century absinth, like all those frenchfags, which works op used to read

>>3266459
Put on a trip so we can laugh at you in other threads too

Suits you right OP.
You should be reading Twilight, 50 Shades of Grey and why not some Ayn Rand.

>>3266279
Give them each a copy of Fahrenheit 451

Liberal-minded people censoring literature they don't agree with is some that I will never understand. It is hypocritical as shit. I feel like OP's parents are more "liberal-minded" than actually liberal in any real sense.

God damn this makes me think of how much I love my parents. They just wanted me to read a wide variety of literature and form my own ideas and opinions about the world. They never forced their own ideas/beliefs/opinions on me because they respected my intellectual integrity, but, at the same time, they were always open to discussions.

Sorry about your books, OP, and I wish you the best of luck in moving the fuck out of that place.

>>3266402
> voting in the interest of the rich
fuck off, ron

>>3266578
>Liberals censoring
>is hypocritical as shit
Wait, what? Liberalism strongly objects to virtually all non-positive thoughts toward minorities or protected groups. So any ideas about wealth that are pro-Capitalist or Meritocratic are bad and must be attacked and censored. Any ideas about race and culture that implies one is superior/better must be attacked and censored. et cetera

Try holding up Ayn Rand to the average liberal and see whether they object to it's philosophy or poor writing.

>>3266630
>the government and the rich
>not fucking BFFs4lyfe

The free market is the enemy of the rich, as they actually have to provide a superior service to everyone else to stay on top, instead of just hiring the best lobbyists to game the system.

>>3266637
What happened to raising children, instead of brainwashing them? This is the kind of shit that goes down in North Korea.

>>3266639
>The free market is the enemy of the rich
Haha. Not really. The more money you have the more you can invest. You can buy up smaller businesses, provide "better" services. Never mind that 70% of this shit is psychological, so once you have a target demographic and an established name (at which point you're probably rich), it's pretty much smooth sailing as long as you don't get involved in any scandals. Smaller businesses, which may provide better services are often simply swamped out of an over-saturated market. Your only real hope in a free market, if you aren't rich enough to basically buy your way to fame is to find a whole in the market and exploit it.

>>3266639
The "free market" does nothing but make the rich even more rich-

If this is true, your parents are retarded.

>My mother is utterly uncultured

>>This is the kind of shit that goes down in North Korea.

Like you've been there right? And if you get your information from journalists, and at least part of what they say is true (that journalists are shown only the party line or whatever), then we actually have very little reliable information about what happens there.

Unless you're like a CIA agent or something.

Stop talking out your ass man; it makes you look bad.

>>3266400
It's a loyal opposition.
They "somehow managed" because the whole point is to blow some steam out when too much pressure builds up and to turn any potential threat to Capital into a cluster fuck of feel-good solutions and disordered personalities.

My mom was aware of me reading Mein Kampf at 14-15. She even bought me a few books on Hitler and a pretty good nazi encyclopedia. She saw me reading some marquis de Sade, erotic stories by Apollinaire and Bataille, etc. She also mentioned the incredible amount of "weird" pornographic websites in the internet history. but she never said anything bad about all of this.

Why? My mum found my stash of hardcore magazines (yes, we did have porn before the internet, thank you very much) and she pretty much ignored them - gave me a moderate telling off because back then hardcore stuff wsa illegal in my country.

She later told me that she hated the fact that I had them, but didn't want to give me weird ideas about sex being dirty or whatevs.

Parents freaking out at young men with porn is pretty much the exception.

>>3267664

Hahaha, my parents found my stash of hardcore japanese s&m tapes and aligned them on my bed as a christian cross.
They were pissing themselves with laughter as I walked down the stairs to confront them.

>>3267761
When my parents found porn in my search history they warned me about viruses (computer viruses, that is) and taught me how to clear my browser history. When I tried to deny it they pointed out that I had literally typed "www.porn.com" in the address bar and took the piss out of me for weeks. Glad I was still into vanilla stuff back then, if they caught sight of the shit I fap to these days I'd never live it down.

>>3267777
My father knows I upload some of my adult works on "those awful Hentai" sites (don't ask), and stopped actually giving that much of a fuck over the years. Still, if he saw some of my nastier shota r34 or basically anything I've ever posted on /d/ he'd shoot me with a double-barrel. Mad world.

Not contributing to the general 15 year old vibe ITT (my parents had way worse issues that how I feed my cultural interests), but I've read De Sade while commuting and had random strangers (older women on both occasions) spark a conversation about it, trying to convince me not to read it further. Then again, that happened with the Catcher in the Rye too, although it was a grad student my age who was concerned about me shooting up things.
