I ordered The Forest Passage on Amazon, and it was supposed to arrive yesterday, and according to USPS tracking, it should arrive tomorrow, but that's not all. I live in northern Virginia, and the Amazon facility is in Ashland. The package went from there to my city, which would've been delivered on time as usual. But then, it went from my town to the distribution facility in Fredericksburg, and then to Richmond! From there, it went all the way back to the distribution center in Dulles, and now it's on the way to my town's post office. Why did this fucktarded detour take place? Did the government do something to my package because I ordered an individualist, anti-statist manifesto and they think I might violently revolt against the state? Has my perceived threat level been upgraded on watch lists? How fucked am I?

Please, share your stories related to radical or forbidden books you've owned or purchased.

I feel like there was a mistake, or they have a shitty system. I work in a grocery store, and I've talked to the drivers about their routes, and they suck. They go from west MA to RI to east CT to east MA to west CT. If the government intercepted it, they probably would have had Amazon put it as a delay in Ashland.

Now your story begins.

Pack your things, shred all the paperwork you have and take a one way train ride anywhere in america with all of your money in cash in a briefcase. Although your life is in danger, you get to tour the country and have a good time.

Good luck.

free speech exists in the united states because everything that actually matters is already secured by contract. nothing you can read or say can actually change anything, that's why you're allowed to do whatever

I've seen Forest Passage displayed in a bookshop associated with the local university. Now no one likes to riff on burger retardation more than me, but you the state probably considers as much of a threat as pic related.

And to op, to paraphrase someone, don't attribute to malice what can more probably be attributed to incompetence.

Governments aren't threatened by individualists. They're threatened by collectivists of the opposing side.
