Amazon is an American company with the duty to remove Anti-American crap from its marketplace. I wish more translated books and anything printed outside of The United States of America would be delisted from Amazon and sent packing. If you want to read French books you should have to read them in French, and buy them from French companies.

Liberal democracies outsource their censorship to other institutions/entities like corporations so they LARP as having rights and values that they have made functionally meaningless.
This Western model of censorship has the additional flaw in that it's extremely hard to navigate owing to the pluralistic nature of Western society. Every group, even incredibly small ones, can push for the censorship of certain materials. It's nearly impossible to take all such groups into consideration regardless of how well-intentioned you are.

At least in overtly authoritarian states like China, the source of censorship is clear (the state) and so are the reasons why something is censored. There also tends to be a linear path where a thing will be censored upon release and then be uncensored later. It's far rarer for the inverse to take place in China yet that seems to be increasingly common in the West. This is a frustrating position for us to be in because it means we have to exercise caution about an unknowable future rather than a knowable present.

This invokes some notions from Deleuze, Guattari, and Foucault. China is effectively a society of discipline where the distinction between people and the state is clearly defined and so are the means of monitoring and punishment. There are no accidental wrongdoers in Chinese society. Dissidents are always knowingly dissenting. (Talking about modern China here, not Maoist China).
In the West, which has become a society of control, the mechanisms of oppression are far more diffuse and are as often ground-up or lateral as they are top-down. In China, you can drink a beer with your friend and bemoan that the local government has no idea what they're doing. You know beforehand if your friend is the CPC or not and whether you can trust him.
In the West now, there's always this tension. "Can I really trust you?", "Are you secretly waiting for me to say faggot or nigger so you can report me?"
Because you never know, you're almost always self-censoring.

It's dumb of Amazon to capitulate, but I don't feel very strongly about book "bans" on a retailer level. It's accessible via your library, the Internet Archive, and an infinite number of ebook formats.

I have to wonder how true it is, though. The right wing grift machine was immediate and overwhelming, with the publisher using this controversy to push people to "preorder" new runs of the book.

This is a 50 year old book, and this particular copy appears to be print-on-demand. What exactly are you preordering for $40? Why does every video covering this start with an ad trying to trick right wing authors into getting their books "published"? Smells wrong.

do you think banning a book about gay sex stops it or something? is your thought process that kids are unaware of being gay until given the knowledge by an external source? weird tangent.

the book is 50 years old anon, you can buy a used copy right now for $5 if you need something that's not "badly scanned" - did you even check btw? there are half a dozen copies on IA, including in the original French, and this copy chosen at random is crystal clear. there are an additional 30 copies on Anna's. finally, my very liberal library system has 2 hardcopies and 1 Libby copy.

If you've never purchased a book-on-demand reprint they're very poor quality and typically only used by self-published authors who can't afford better, or grifters hoping to trick a grandma on Amazon by selling an out-of-copyright book that you can otherwise get for near free.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

I think if you aren't already a believer of race realism and stuff of that nature you won't enjoy it. Like I enjoyed it because I unironically believe if you just get rid of western European people and replace them with the Chinese and whatever else you'll end up with a hellscape absent of innovation or even a comparable standard of living to today. Someone I know who doesn't believe that read the book and thought it was overly masturbatory with that concept when all I thought was "Yeah that's what will probably happen."

Strawman. But since you think books about homosexuality have no effect on the prevelence of homosexuality, then why would it matter if they're banned? How interesting then that you'd be concerned about a "racist" book influencing the minds of others. Lying faggot.
>>
>>25222930
Solid critique of the West however you're a little too easy on China.

There is still a good deal of factionalism and ending up on the wrong side of it can get you jailed or killed.
The difference is primarily in it being clique/patronage based instead of the facades of moral argument.
>>
>>25222863
Anyone whose read it or heard about it knows its only being suppressed because it challenges the morality of the contemporary status quo.
They want White Europeans to be mindless and to ignore the problem. The Camp of the Saints isn't a phenomenal book by any means, but it expresses these ideas coherently and in a way emotional normies can grasp the reality of the issue, and for that reason, they will continue to ban it until their aren't any White People left to read it, thus making it no longer a threat.

>>25223191
This. Marxist Judeo-Masonic crap needs to be banned for sure, because it is a sickness in written form. Camp of the Saints is a Cure for the sickness.

>>25223309
So the 70+% of women in the publishing industry deserve to stay there even though they didn't get there by merit? Explain to me how the enemy gets to use censorship and artificial inflation, but it's only considered immoral if we do it?

>>25223473
It's not great, but in contains a lot of information that is shocking to normies, and is therefor useful as a read. Can't say it isn't pushing boundaries.
Read the reviews by normies, they don't say it's bad because they genuinely understand the quality of the writing, they say it's bad because emotionally it illicits a reaction from them, and that's what's important here.

The book itself isn't something that the Jews or corporate media would want people to see. Odds are some reddit cuckhold got salty and deleted it, and some other lads at Amazon brought it back up.
The reverse psychology trick only applies to content they would actually benefit from people seeing, but a book about disgusting foreigners and White Genocide is not Establishment Friendly by any means.

>>25225669
Not really, there are some halfway decent parts, but nothing to write home about.
In the 1970s, most people didn't know about how Indians eat cowshit and fling it around their walls, so it was very shocking and important for their time, but for anyone whose familiar with the problems of modern immigration it is a rather mundane read.
It does go into how Christian Morality is basically being used as a weapon against the White Man, and I think that made it worthy enough for me to finish reading to see what it concludes, but overall, it's maybe a little above mediocre.

>>25225680
My thoughts exactly. Probably really cutting edge for 1970s, but for us all the ideas are pretty familiar.
If I didn't know about all the cow shit rituals in India, this book would have red-pilled me back in the day, but since I'm already familiar with it none of the shock of the story really lands, and I have the same reaction
>Ya, they'll do that
>Ya, that is something that they do
I guess the book was pretty prophetic, and that works against it in a very banal way.
The beuacracy and Christian morality parts are interesting, but again, only to somebody not yet familiar with how Christian Morality works against us.

This is a new translation, dipshit

>>25225669
It’s kind of weird
The biography of Raspail himself is great and he seems to have been a very interesting guy
Also the bit about how the previous translation was suboptimal because the translator was used to translating floofy poetry from French was interesting
The character sketches of the pro-invasion characters and their moral preening was illuminating, at least moderately
But in some sense it’s being published after the cows are almost all out of the barn so it’s not really dystopian speculative fiction like Atlas Shrugged and Brave New World and 1984

I actually listened to part of the Tucker interview he did for this and it's so absurdly transparent he's talking the same shit he did when he was "spiritual". Now he's exposed as a serial rapist so it's time for the Jesus swerve to grab the only audience more retarded than liberal druggies. He's almost cumming in Tucker's ear about how much he loooves Jesus and how you have to pray every second of every day or you'll sin, but it's okay because Jesus forgives, it's fucking OJ's "If I Did It" in audio form.

No healthy society can allow for these diseases to spread. Libertarian free market ideals fail simply because they place zero restrictions. But yes, we should educate people more on why these things are morally false, because censorship without genuine education is doomed to fail.

this is not a duty that exists. a marketplace can stock whatever it wants (from legal items) and only the marketplace owner should have a say. if amazon don't want to stock and item that is well within their rights. bookstores the world over, for all time, have selected which books it will put on its shelf and which it doesn't want to stock.
amazon don't need to explain their actions, but also it is certainly NOT a duty for them to refuse anti-american books.
