mr-cappadocia: Who needs to burn books? And why… just *why* do I keep fucking calling it Social Justice Authoritarianism… Hmmm. Any guesses? I never understood why normies only get upset at censorship against objects. Books are not people. I’m not saying it’s right but i guarantee you’d say “it’s their property so…” if someone said it’s ridiculous if they as a person got banned. But somehow banning a book, a thing that can’t think or feel is totally wrong wrong wrong. Oh and banning people is also illegal but most libertarians don’t give a shit about laws only if it fits into their weirdly defined code of politics. I’m not saying you’re like that but you can’t deny it’s common on the right.

“Books are not people.”



This is the kind of person that sees someone pointing at something and goes yeah so what it’s a finger. Unless this is a joke and you’re not actually this stupid.

I’m actually amazed at how completely devoid of any conception of nuance this argument is. Do you think books just congeal off of trees? You make it sound like someone said no spoons allowed and everyone was like oh hell no spoon rights mother fucker, we can’t ban spoons they have every right to enjoy this movie like everyone else.

This isn’t even an object ban…this isn’t saying x book isn’t allowed. It’s saying books with certain ideas will be prevented from being made at all. Holy shit this was dumb even for tumblr.
