SNEAKY CHINESE COMMUNISTS EXPOSED

Is there a word for when the world becomes what used to be satire? I remember when The Red Scare of the fifties was made fun of as ridiculous hysteria (Hank Hills dad, Fallout and Harvester come to mind off the top of my head of jokes the 90s' used to make about The Red Scare), and here we are repeating the mistakes that we used to shame the past for.

I go to so many second hand book stores and this is completely dead on, to the extent I want to carry one at all times, just to put on shelves whenever I see the sorts of book it's mocking.

"controversially irrelevant" is chefs-kiss

Damn, hardcore socialist dragons? This China place sounds pretty cool.

Also lol @ "Exposing how the Chinese Communist Party is reshaping the world"...they fucking televise that shit, it's not a secret master plan just because you can't understand Chinese and don't seek out translations.

"Russia's secret plan to defeat america"

Let me guess, it's election interference?

no, actually

it's women and minorities

Pop history is such insufferable lib shit. Ironically, bookstores are the last place you will find intelligent works.

Go to the library while you still can.

I buy books online or pirate them most of the time. I hadn't visited a real bookstore for a while and was in an area I don't usually visit so I took a look out of curiosity. I wish I had stayed away, touching grass was a mistake.

Starting to think those lulags can't reach the rest of the world soon enough.

oo "where the rich own the truth" sounds like it could have some leftist messaging let’s see what the reviews are!

In this book we also see the dangers for their work in the current world. Truth risks being bought, processed and distributed. In Mexico, Russia, China, India and soon in other places a journalist writing like Tom Burgis will be killed after the first investigations and propaganda will be called reality. It’s for us all to support this work and preserve the liberty that we still have. For how long? It’s on us all.

yea

i honestly might prefer the anti-communist slob to these almost-leftist writers that take any spark of discontent with the status quo and encase it in a thick layer of ideology.

Good theory at the book store? At best you'll find the Communist Manifesto.

After de-radicalising in my early adulthood, fake history / politics / theory must have added another five years onto my lib journey.

[–] supafuzz@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

those prices seem untenable, even in down under funbucks

Bookstores make me cry.

incredibly surprised they even stocked Rudd's book after seeing the rest of the selection

They don't gotta burn the books they just remove 'em.
