I've already read that book but Id buy it again in a second if I found one that looked like that

Why don't books get banned anymore?

Are we living in enlightened times?

[Anonymous No.10749353]

>>10749129
Because its a nazi and trad-right thing and the left is in power right now so they cant get away with doing nazi things.
That and the 451 argument that there's no point because we all stopped reading anyway

The one way to get someone to read a book is to ban it.

Exactly, just fill their heads with 24/7 Cable “News”, reality TV, social media and internet porn. Give them more information than they could ever process in an accessible, instant and easily digestible way, and they’ll never want to pick up a book, which would require stepping away and putting in some effort.

People don't read or at least Millennials don't unless it's some shitty Netflix adaptation then they'll claim to have been a fan all along.

yes. that series was released by the Independent (uk newspaper) a few years ago.
a clockwork orange was the first in the series. it was given away free with the newspaper as a promo for the series.
not sure how popular the rest of the series was- i recall they were quite expensive.
found a list of the whole series: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/79259.Independent_Banned_Book_Series

I have their edition of All Quiet on the Western Front, no idea how the translation is but it's a decent hardcover.

In Canada and many European countries, you cannot import various titles due to hate speech laws, effectively banning making these books banned in these countries. If you try to purchase anything written by David Duke or WLP, the book will get seized at the border and destroyed.
To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you cannot criticize.

Indeed, that's how you spoon feed the great unwashed masses. You don't even need "fake news". Only broadcast fluff and popular stories that distract them from the things you don't want them to see, and continue on with whatever plans you want, in broad daylight.

People like to fetishise books that have been "banned" at one point or another, but usually they're either:

Banned by some ignorant school board in an especially backwards part of the country
Heterodox in their religion
Considered pornographic at the time

Canada has 'banned books' but you can still buy these books in many stores, whether retail or online retail. It's one thing to have banned books, it's another thing to actually enforce it. There's no enforcement of bans here.

>trump already moved the embassy to jerusalem
nope
also this has been US policy since 1995 and has never happened and likely never will. even if trump plans it, it would take years to put into effect, and president oprah will just cancel the order.

they were always saving it as a "bargaining chip" and trump is like fuck it here u go, also it's now set to move in may long before the next election, and sheldon adelson is offering to pay for the whole thing

>On December 6, 2017, President Trump officially recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, and ordered the State Department to begin planning for the relocation of the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.[8] However, following the announcement, Trump signed an embassy waiver again, delaying the move, as mandated by the Act, by at least six months.[10][11] Secretary of State Rex Tillerson stated that the relocation process will begin immediately, but that the relocation itself however could take years to complete.[11] Legally, however, the U.S. embassy can be moved at any time outside of the scope of the Act.
"years to complete" just like everything else trump decides
by which time he'll be long gone, shuffling his fat backside around one of his golf courses until his heart finally gives out
