This clearly isn’t true in and of itself.
For example, you’d never write these kinds of comments in support of inclusion of certain Holocaust-adjacent material, which is actively banned in many western countries. Countries that, I might add, you would probably consider as doing well today?
You support book bans, you just don’t support banning these books. Please be honest and transparent about this, it’s much more respectable.

Countries that, I might add, you would probably consider as doing well today? Fucking "Mein Kampf" is available, today, in several thousand libraries and bookstores around the USA and I wouldn't have it any other way. Some of us actually believe in the right for information to be free. I served in the military to fight (ostensibly) for freedom like this.
- newZWhoDis 3y agoI agree with you. I was clearly referencing how books that claim the holocaust didn’t happen (or was misrepresented) are illegal in huge swaths of the western world. I’m not endorsing those viewpoints, merely showing how huge numbers of westerners actually are ok with book bans as long as it’s the right topic.
