What steps are libraries in your country taking to resist the spread of book banning sentiments coming from the US?
>>
what sentiments
>>
American book-banning has to do with evangelicalism so not really an issue in countries that don't deal with that
>>
Closing
>>
>>25224601
Having your book not be on a mandatory reading list is not a book banning. However, a large share of those books should be banned, they are fraudulent works masquerading as legitimate academic works and you're too stupid to tell fact from fiction.
>>
>>25224604
It comes from Christian nationalist groups in the US who bankroll movements to ban some books from school libraries. There is a documentary made about it (The Librarians), it's harrowing, because the book banning people are retarded.
>>
>>25224616
Why is 1984 banned by the United States?
>>
>>25224613
As with any cultural influences, historically it spills over into Europe and other places.
>>
>>25224616
I'm not talking about mandatory reading lists, though, that's your stupid inference.
>>
>>25224601
why would other countries give a shit about what americans are doing to their books?
>>
>>25224657
Because retardburgers will spread that shit online to other parts of the world like they have done with so many things.
>>
>>25224625
Evangelicalism has no soft power in developed countries, it is an ideology for poorfags
>>
>>25224601
>What steps are libraries in your country taking
Libraries in my country are daycares for bums and immigrants.
>>
>>25224613
It's not always evangelicals doing it
>>
>>25224620
For sucking
>>
>>25224712
Sounds like a skill issue
>>
>>25224604
Anti-racist left wing censorship.

>>25224617
What christian nationalist group caused amazon to delist "Camp of the Saints"?
>>
>>25224712
the rest of the world is already washing their hands of the US. you don't pay attention when a retard toddler doesn't like a book.
>>
>>25224617
>It comes from Christian nationalist groups in the US
Well those come from Zionist Jews so I guess we ought to get rid of those first
>>
>>25225033
Last time I checked Amazon isn't a library.
>>
>ermmmmmmmm maybe age-inappropriate books shouldn't be available for children to read in school libraries
>a perfectly common sensical suggestion like that counts as "banning" somehow
So fucking trite. Americans are retarded on both left & right.
>>
>>25224712
Unironically. The Great Satan somehow manages to be the chief exporter of both woke fag slop and draconian evangelical retardation.
>>
>>25224620
Hope this helps

>>25226103
Most people aren't going to call the Bible "age inappropriate" even though it ticks more boxes than the books being banned.
You're falling for the illusory version of what's happening. Everyone in the know, on either side, understands implicitly what the actual fight is about.
>>
>>25225481
Amazon is more important than libraries at this point by a wide margin.
>>
>>25226167
Fuck off wumao.
>>
In my country the only people who go into libraries are crackheads who look at porn on the computer!! Also every library has horrible selection, like one or two Dostoyevsky books, maybe MAYBE they have a copy of Moby Dick. Most of it is horrible shit that would probably turn you gay if you read it!! Libraries are so important in the 21st century!! They shouldn't be torn down and turned into Walmarts!!!
>>
>>25226103
Which ones are age inappropriate?
>>
>>25226170
It isn't. Libraries are educational institutions providing basically free access to knowledge, Amazon is a corp whose goal is to turn you into a salivating paypig goy who thinks that it is more important than libraries.
>>
>>25226184
Provide an example of a library you've recently visited to be able to assess this.
>>
>>25226184
I live in the US and i can order pretty much any book from across the country within a few days. Certain branches in certain cities do have homeless but have never interacted withone.
>>
>>25224613
Leftists routinely try to suppress books. See any book that criticizes the tranny menace and how they try to keep it out of libraries (and not just grade school libraries like the religious nuts, but entire public library systems) and off Amazon.
Picrel is a trans lawyer for the aclu, which used to protect free speech even of legitimate nazis.
Not just evangelicals.
>>
>>25226545
Well if i didnt believe it before i sure am convinced by that twitter screenshot of a singke random retard no one has ever heard of
>>
>>25226549
Not a random person. A lawyer for the ACLU who argues in front of the Supreme Court. Maybe read the text next time, retard.
>>
>>25226552

I must be blind. I dont see that info anywhere.
>>
>>25226321
All books that go against my political agenda (oy vey)
>>
>>25224620
It isn’t. He’s lying.

Tard.

>>25226103
how would you like it if I called you retarded? not so nice now, is it?
>>
>>25226518
same here, I don't get this meme about the library being full of homeless people. I live near the inner city and our library is clean. there was one incident of a guy walking into the library with a sword but that's old news.
>>
>>25226104
Your entire attitude is why our soldiers remain on your soil.
>>
>>25224617
Basically all Americans are retarded but banning shitty books from children's schools is perfectly reasonable. Academia would be in a much better state if all even moderately leftist books were removed from the curriculum.
>>
>>25224712
America's cultural influence was exported through movies and music and basically nobody watches or listens to anything American anymore. Even Americans don't watch American movies anymore.
>>
>>25226334
Annas-Archive has better fulfilled the supposed function of libraries than any library that has existed in a thousand years.
>>
>>25227032
Knew a guy who used a libraries 3d printer to make a toy gun and swat got called. Some cities/states have real nice libraries with a lot of resources. Wish my current library had a 3d printer. I would say libraries could be instrumental in education for those not well off. Not everyone can afford lots of books, or books they have never read, or textbooks.

>American book-banning has to do with evangelicalism
pornography was never in history considered free speech until the filthy rat kikes of the 20th century went to the high church episcopaliens on the supreme legislative council and argued that pornography was political speech for them because it was their advocacy for people to abandon the strictures of family and church and embrace a fully market based economy of sex. these kikes call themseves neoconservatives and argue that marriage is communism

>what the actual fight is about.
faghags are sluts and sluts need to be raped and beaten by a man assigned to rape and beat the slut
>>
>>25224613
This is how it's portrayed.
Because some red state school library decides not to carry a gay sex book, it is the evangelicals who are banning things.
In reality, anything too far outside the progressive worldview has been effectively banned for decades.
>>
>>25227063
The point of the whole movement against book banning is to prevent political retards like you from doing precisely that, because your fellow retards have already been doing it.
>>
>>25227386
Retarded take, pornography has always existed and many famous works of art are basically it.
>>
>>25227398
Perhaps because most people want some progress and not the return to dark ages and the holocaust, eh?
Nobody is banning you from holding shitty opinions, you piece of shit. You've made up your persecution complex to be mad about.
>>
Medieval peasants were vastly less superstitious and delusional than modern liberals. There's no venn diagram overlap between reality and your worldview
>>
>>25229031
Funny how recently in the last few years republicans started to doubt reality in ways they never considered but often in ways smart peoole thought about in middle school
>Bro what if aliens are real what if were are in a simulation
>>
>>25227386
Yeah bro painting pictures of a woman fucking a swan isn't porn
>>
>>25228661
Yeah dude Double Donkey Dick MILF Party 5 (we asked the viewer if they pinky swear they‘re 18) is basically The Birth of Venus
>>
>>25229031
Oh hewwo my brother in MAGA :3 does the awoo find you well?
