  “No, that book was banned and asking for it means I have to add you to a Terrorist Watchlist”

      • non or anti Christian books
      • Anything by Ellen Hopkins or Margaret Atwood
      • books criticising the US or Israel

      The problem with fascism is that it is very difficult to campaign against it before it arrives, because you just sound hysterical.

      And it is even more difficult to campaign against it after it arrives, because… well… you know. The fascism.

      But also, The Ad Council was really great at spending small fortunes on pithy ads. Really terrible at actually organizing community groups in defiance of any of these policies. Like, it was a cornerstone of the Bush Era brand of non-partisan liberalism. It operated under the theory “If we just tell people there’s a problem then they’ll figure out the solution”. And the leadership was so deep in bed with the federal government that messaging failed to do more than echo the views of the prevailing administration.

    I think Heart of Darkness will never get banned, the image of African people as savages isn’t something which bothers the US.

    It’s been a long time since I read that one though. Maybe it’s not subversive than I remember.

      Tbh right, I forgot it was supposed to be controversial. And I didn’t finish reading it. I just named three books I felt were from the same time period and as if by magic, they’re all banned/controversial
