@jimm619 saidThese misguided people don't understand that when a book gets banned, it creates a taboo, a mystique, making that book exactly what people want to read. It's human nature to want to know what little secrets are inside. I've watched this happen for many years. All these idiots are doing is turning these banned books into best sellers. 🙄

@mchill saidPerhaps it’s really the authors or the publishers trying to get them banned, or it’s virtue signalling for the virtueless.

@shavixmir saidNOT TRUE.....
Sorry. My previous post is wrong.
I did a bit of research. Seemingly they want to ban books because they can’t read.
Our Conservative friends enjoy going to the library and only complain
when they discover that many of the books have already been colored.

@jimm619 saidYou democrats are projecting your own self loathing for supporting censorship onto your rival party. To think you all are raving against cancel culture that you all have staunchly supported is obvious psychosis.

The hypocrisy is sickening. You are for censorship and against it at the same time. It doesn't work that way. To truly be against cancel culture you have to be against all of it. You have to accept opinions you do not like to be tolerant of freedom of speech. The reason is simple. The other side has to tolerate your BS rhetoric too.
@metal-brain saidPsychosis -- I don't think that words means what you think it means.

@metal-brain saidYour post is stupidity, plain and simple. Censoring misinformation that can cause death is not the same as being against censoring history.

@vivify saidCalling the covid vaccines gene vaccines/genetic vaccines does not cause death. Telling people that ivermectin is effective does not cause death.
Your post is stupidity, plain and simple. Censoring misinformation that can cause death is not the same as being against censoring history.
You are falsely claiming you would only censor misinformation that causes death and you don't even know it is misinformation. You would censor the truth that you are in denial of and you know you would not stop at death.
Who would determine what is misinformation and not? A democrat or a republican? Would you let a republican determine what is misinformation?
