When did literature lose all its persuasive power?

Only academically published book to ever be banned by Amazon, so that says something

I have this sitting on my book shelf. Is it worth a read or just a meme?

people act like it's Mein Kampf. All it does is say 'maybe Jews in positions of influence act for the benefit of their ingroup(other jews) the same way that whites in those positions act in ways that benefit whites'. The entirety of academia accepts that whites do that, there are entire fucking subfields about the topic. It's just the same argument looking at Jews

>>14403574
so what's all the fuss about? Why is it the only academically published book that has been banned by amazon if it's that "lame"?

Jewish isn't an identity as much as 4chan pretends it to be. I never even knew my close friends were jewish until I asked about their ancestry

Its not as much about the actual book as the neo-nazi's who use it to try and justify their hate speech

>> No.14403598

>>14403586
Because its attacking Jews obviously. And they're right about it being dangerous in the sense that your average retard who comes across something like CoC doesn't stop there, he searches about for a new source of authority to explain reality to him, and there's basically only one group of people doing that wrt Jews, so he ends up a caricature of a neonazi.

Since it no longer became a prestigious, exclusive and respected medium.
Literature nowadays is completely saturated with garbage best-sellers like 'why I am no longer talking to white people about race', and whatever literature is de rigueur is only deemed so by pernicious, private institutions with vested interests such as the New York Times.

Luther did not have the mass media and the sixgorillas industry opposed to him. Just ask Finklestein.
