            Dude, governors are banning books en masse over here in the good ol’ land of the free. Laws were never the problem. People always were.

              No, they aren’t. They can not stop people from making or purchasing those books.

              They’re removing them from state funded programs but that’s a much different thing.

                Ohh, yes they are. Go look it up and actually research it honestly instead of looking for holes to win an argument. It’s happening here, especially in certain southern states, and it’s bad. Some counties even shut down whole libraries specifically to get around anti-censorship protections we have here.

                    Do you not understand that it’s mass censorship regardless and therefore you’re wrong?

                    Who am I kidding? Of course you don’t. You don’t want to grow up and accept facts, you just want to be right. Well, go sod off and be right then, see if political tyrants will care either way.
