In a local paper they had an article about how at a high school graduation one of the ladies graduating handed the superintendent a book that was on the “banned list”. I was glad to see so many in the comments point out that if she was able to get the book then it isn’t banned.
Pointing this out to people is as useless as trying to debunk the police shooting narrative to a true believer. I had a cousin that got mad at me because he was talking about Florida banning books and I simply pointed out all the books listed were available to order on Amazon. Why people don’t understand that a public library or public school not carrying a book is banning it. By all means, start your own bookstore or public library
Don't forget that in the EU, UK, and every other country outside the US that proglodytes are active, plenty of books are literally outlawed, and the only reason why they've not managed to do that in the US is because of the 1A. So instead they use various other avenues, like the three-letter agencies, academia, the big banks and credit card companies, payment processors, big tech companies, publishers, and all the other stunning and brave members of The Resistance™, always ready to suppress books they hate.
Are these people legitimately this retarded, or is this an especially brazen and perverse humiliation ritual?
