Has anyone ever heard of Germany in the 1930s

What will Trumpelon do with all the „neo marxist“ books audaciously claiming that women, non-white men and trans people were created equal and were as valuable as white heterosexual men? They‘ll have them exposed to 451° F, won‘t they?

Are they going to have a book burning in the Pentagon courtyard like their mates in the 1930s had?🤔

jmcomms.bsky.social•9 days ago

Next week they'll be burning them all.

Fahrenheit 451 is a dystopia, a world where people live miserable lives and are often living in fear. Books and literature in general are banned, and the firemen's job is to burn any books they may find. Nothing more complex than a pamphlet or instructions is allowed to exist.

The Con and his Mr. Slugo, Pete H, are shitting themselves that 7.6 % of the US population that is LBGTQ might increase to 7.7% IF THESE BOOKS ARE READ.

This compliance review sounds like a prime example of the bloated bureaucratic interference that DOGE was supposed to be cutting

They need time to translate them all into newspeak.

Imagine for a moment

a self-made king and his prince hold a meeting with the media

p: I'm writing AI to run the kingdom
media: *mused
p: 59% of the public need MASS misinformation
media: *confused
p: the media will manage it for me
media: *shocked
k: you will or else
media: we're in

Just sayin'

pwrussell.bsky.social•9 days ago

Imagine the twisted values you must have to think it’s ok to deprive kids of ALL books just in case there’s one that you don’t approve of. Utter scum.
