You are technically correct, but it was heavily implied but having a problem with this Bundle in particular when HB's usual is games & music. It could have been a bad assumption, but one that would have been easily cleared and one that I was not attempting to argue with so I feel I was intellectually in the clear in making such an assumption, as well.
As for the rest of your post: thank you for the information. The "European intellectual view" is very much a different way of thinking than I am used to encountering. Follow-up question: your post seems to indicate that the primary villain being fought is American pop culture so what of American books? It seems from this thread that they are given the same protection as European books so are they just not considered "evil" or is it that it's worth overreaching to include them if it means saving "real" culture or is there some other mindset at work?
- onli 14y agoWell, with books it is something different. Authors like Philip Roth or Begley are just too good to be dismissed like that. And the view is always heavily dependent on the medium, so a book is always worth more, has to be really trashy to be counted to be a part of the evil american influence - all the resentments are mixed with the technic fear common in those circles. Which is heavily noticeable when those people talk about pc-games or the internet, the root of societies downfall.
