This bookstore, BookSmith, in SF just publicly declared it is not selling Harry Potter anymore for obvious political reasons. I called and had some fun:

>Hello, I heard you stopped carrying Harry Potter books and wanted to confirm?
>Yes, that's right
>Great. Are there any other books you've banned?
>Well, it's not a ban—
>Did you burn all your copies or?
>CLICK

Many other such paths to take.

I've never understood the "rules for thee but not for me" attitude. Do people realize how hypocritical it always is? Especially if you're doing it from a left-wing perspective, when their entire schtick is rebelling against supposed tyrannies?

The old adage “power corrupts” applies. Everyone’s a rebel until THEY get into power, then the gears shift towards protecting their personal ideologies.

This is why you should always be cautious of self-proclaimed revolutionaries, regardless of their ideology. Many are biding their time until they themselves can become an autocrat.

Paradox of tolerance, chud. I fucking HATE how much you hate things. I want to HURT YOU for not caring that others are hurt. I'm allowed to do the same things I bash you for, as long as it will lead to a world where people like you don't exist.

At least that's how your average Reddit user justifies it.

>a privately owned business not selling something is the same thing as the president ordering book burnings
Why are chuds so low iq? You realize even the biggest bookstore doesn’t sell 99.9999% of books right?

Don't fret, anon. I will explain the point being made. Leftists complain about 'banned books' which just translate to some school in Nowheresville Texas not foisting it upon high schoolers, but now leftists are engaging in an equivalent act and saying that it's NOT a ban. We are laughing at their hypocrisy. I'm glad that you can now understand the OP and also enjoy a hearty chuckle

>religious town in Assfuck Alabama doesn't want Alfred the nonbinary pufferfish books in their library
>this is actually a genocide against queersexual persons
I'm pissed my highschool won't carry the Turner Diaries even after I wrote my boss the principal to add it. He similarly banned Soledad Brother and explicitly forbid me from telling my class that Angela Davis set them up.

Sssshh. You're asking a bunch of woman-brained "people" to think logically. Don't kick the hornets nest.
