Yes the left is exactly doing that. All you have to do is look at all the efforts to do just that. I think you know that and agree. Unless of course you are against the cancel culture.
If you read my post you wouldn't have said what you did. It's obvious you didn't read it.
Yes it was a political move. It's a virtual book burning. Just poof, gone.
No one should be forced to do or sell anything. Sure they can choose to not carry it. This is the problem with the left. They want to FORCE people to do what they want. FORCE you to sell or not sell what they deem fit. Ban books you find objectional.
We are for freedom. Sell, don't sell. Make the choice.
The cancel culture is the lefts way of ridding society of things they find objectionable. Cancel Dr. Suess, cancel this book. Cancel Mark Twain, cancel bakeries, cancel florists, cancel speakers. Cancel you tubers, cancel platforms.
It's a warning to those who don't see it. You on the left are okay with it. You support it.
And once you can force people to sell or not sell, then you control what information is out there. Remove peoples access to information and Ideas. Only provide access to information you want them to have access to.
THE. BOOK. IS. NOT. "GONE". It has not been burned. It has not been cancelled. The actual publisher is still publishing the book. I posted a link with at least 5 online locations where you can still get your precious LBGT hate book.
You on "The Right" are unhinged. You seem to live in an alternate reality with completely different facts from the rest of us. Facts that seem to completely contradict what you say you believe in such as free market capitalism, freedom of expression, etc.
Amazon sold the book for three years. And you just called the book a LGBT hate book. Have you read it?
YOU are the ones against capitalism and free expression.
Seemed interesting. But as usual, the article labeled but explained nothing about what the objections were to his appearance. So much less interesting than it should have been. Oh well.
except for The diary of Anne FrankIt's about the the cancel culture. YOU are the ones against capitalism and free expression. We haven't asked for books to be cancelled or free expression to be cancelled.
That's not true! You should be participating in hate speech on the regular!I guess it’s similar to kneeling for the national anthem. Conservatives will prattle on about the rights we have in this country, just make sure you never use them. .
I remember when I was in my early 20s, I had dreadlocks put in. They look ridiculous. So terrible....just awwwwwwful. I regretted it so much. I ended up putting some in a couple years later that also looked terrible, just in a different way.Dr. Suess books are being cancelled. The company Dolls Kill had to deal with the capitalistic cancel culture after they thanked police for protecting their store from rioters.
Virginia school system cancels Dr. Seuss, citing racial 'undertones' in writings: report
Aunt Jemima was cancelled.
Now That Aunt Jemima Got Canceled, These Brands Might Be Next
Freedom of expression is under attack by the left.

Middlebury College Cancels Conservative Philosopher's Lecture on Totalitarianism
Given their publishing guidelines, I am not surprised that they will not sell some books. They are not a library, they don't have to give access to every book.
No, but I'll see if I can find it
No....they don't, because a book that one publisher won't release anymore is still available.
Do....do you understand how the world works?

That's the whole pointright-wing Christians are sure spending a lot of His resources nattering about it.
That's the whole point
Stimulate a response you know you can demonize (in the current climate), to vilify your opponents & defeat them
certainly not out loud, on cameraI doubt the executives at that meeting were rubbing their hands, grinning, and saying among themselves, "Boy, this will really annoy the Evangelicals! Let's do it!"
I was only a teenager when I began to discern when people were just trying to get "a rise" out of me...and to ignore those attempts.
But actually, when, say, Hasbro Toys decides to rename "Mister and Mrs Potato Head" to "The Potato Family," they didn't do it with the intention of vilifying right-wingers. I doubt the executives at that meeting were rubbing their hands, grinning, and saying among themselves, "Boy, this will really annoy the Evangelicals! Let's do it!"
exactly what the religious rights has tried for years to do with the LGBT communityThat's the whole point

Which "they"?Wake me up when they go to ban the Bible, or Orwell and/or Huxley.
