This is the equivalent of the Nazi purge of what they labeled "degenerate art." Anything that went against the fascist view of the world. There's no difference between purging websites, banning books, and firing librarians and Nazi book burning and banning art and controlling culture.

At this point I really need every single American to be at this level of rage. I don’t recognize this country anymore. And he hadn’t even seen the news yet of the mayor being taken and congress members being assaulted by ICE. This is appropriate levels of rage.

Allow me to address the elephant in the room: The decades-long outsourcing of domestic manufacturing to China was not an insidious Chinese conspiracy for dominance but the greedy strategy of the American ruling class to explode its profit margins by exploiting global inequality.
