- mitthrowaway2 10mo agoIt seems to have mainly come up in discussions about banned books, rather than discussions about popular fascist movements, so it might not be saying what most people would first assume.
- Insanity 10mo agoGood catch, I didn’t read through the comments where it’s mentioned.
- mohamez 10mo agoI'm really trying so hard to understand how did you come up with this correlation.
- dozerly 10mo agoThe US has shifted to becoming an authoritarian fascist state. It’s not surprising that people reference another prominent authoritarian fascist manifesto.
- an0malous 10mo agoI think 1984 is more of a sign of the times, and not just mentioned in the context of banned book threads
- Barrin92 10mo ago>I think 1984 is more of a sign of the times Honestly given that the thing gets brought up about five times per day by absolutely anyone for any conceivable reason I think it's the opposite. The real dystopian picture of the future is getting hit on the head with a copy of 1984, forever.
- echelon 10mo agoThe surveillance and censorship system being built around us is alarming. It only takes one leadership failure to turn it into shackles.
- silexia 10mo agoThere are no banned books in America. Not spending taxpayer money forcibly taken from citizens on books they disagree with for public school libraries is far from banning books. If you are okay with a book indoctrinating kids with far left ideology, why not put in copies of far right books to balance it out? No one wants kids indoctrinated in culture war garbage. If you want to own a book, go buy it yourself.
- RobotToaster 10mo ago"The federal mafia" by Irwin Schiff is currently banned from sale in the USA
- JSR_FDED 10mo agoThat’s a book written by a libertarian “taxation is unconstitutional“ crackpot.
- RobotToaster 10mo agoAnd? It's still banned in the USA, therefore refuting the idea that there are no books banned in the USA
- 47282847 10mo agoCan you point me to one book banned by libraries that contains “far left ideology”? And one with “far right ideology” not found in libraries?
- echelon 10mo agoI was apparently 6% of the 1984 mentions. Doing my part.
- Yizahi 10mo agoIt would be even higher if we would add any string with "orwell" in it, since in 99% cases it's about the same idea and in the same context.
- tonymet 10mo agoThis comment is a helpful way to understand Mein Kampf and whether it means its readers are Nazis. graemep on 4/15/2025 Mein Kampf IS a rant. I recommend people read it so you can understand how people like that think.
- hermitcrab 10mo agoNot something I want anyone to see on my bookshelf though!
- tonymet 10mo agoDepends on how spicy your friends are.
- hermitcrab 10mo ago'spicy'?
- jeffbee 10mo agoMaybe there's a german-language subset of comment threads where they discuss their struggles against the C++ standard.
