    • repression is not being able to unpublish your own books by whining idiotsStoicLevels

    • PrVatE cOmpanYGnash
    • The reality of meme is that the people who don’t care, also don’t read.Gnash
    • They've just decided not to republish a small number of books with overtly racist imagery in them. The rest are in print and will remain so.Fax_Benson
    • That was not the case, Mondo. This was self induced. Happens all the time.StoicLevels
    • In bookshops, libraries, schools. Things go in and out of print, on and off curriculums for less legitimate reasons than this all the time.Fax_Benson
    • stop talking sense fax, you are making their dicks go soft.fadein11
    • You think too much about other peoples dicksGnash
    • LoLoLoLz, yOu GoT Me TheRe, FeEliN' tHe Burnzfadein11
    • All books die a natural death, eventually. Publishers stop printing books that stop selling. That’s normal.Gnash
    • The glee with which the Wokeus Dei celebrate the excommunication of any work that is out of scripture is the pathetic partGnash
    • Faded, you’re a complete moron. You likely haven’t read a book in decadesGnash
    • You just regurgitate other people’s opinions., except when you talk about other people’s dicks, and your masturbation routineGnash
    • such trigger, much wow.
      I don't even give a fuck about this post lol. It's just funny that you are bothered by every trivial little bit of culture war fodder on      fadein11
    • Or you “quote” ideas. That’s your most pathetic move. Trying to suggest you have some deeper understanding that’s best left unsaidGnash
    • this site. Thankfully others call you out for it now so I don't have to. I aM OuTraGeD!fadein11
    • Are you going to tell me how tall you are and you aren't bald again? LolLozLolZlolZfadein11
    • ‘Thankfully!’Gnash
    • It’s ok to be short, and bald, fade. You got it going on. Maybe your wife’s boyfriend is short, tooGnash
    • Nothin to be ashamed ofGnash
    • do you know how ridiculous you sound now? It's time to stop posting.fadein11
    • Oops. Too close to home. Got it. ApologiesGnash
    • You sound about 14 lolz.fadein11
    • "well, well, you have a mental age of 5, so thEre's NoThiNg wrOng with bEing 14"
      zzzzzzz      fadein11
    • it is a bit weird, Gnash. Seems to unnecessarily pull your plums.Fax_Benson
    • Got it. I’ll just keep it to ‘other people’s soft dicks — which is totally not ridiculous, or childishGnash
    • que?fadein11
    • wait.... you can really get Mein Kampf on kindle, google, apple?pango
    • I doubt most people have even heard of or seen even one of the six books. Most haven’t been distributed for many years because they suck.monospaced
    • This can be taken off the shelf because apparently the publishers own the copyright and it's legally their property.Khurram
    • I think the problem here is our obscenely overarching copyright protections that gives publishers monopoly rights over works long after the author is dead.Khurram
    • There is no reason Dr Seuss books aren't freely available and openly disseminated, like Mein Kampf.Khurram
    • the estate can do what it wants. is that so hard to comprehend? if disney wants to unpublish foxy robin hood it canStoicLevels
    • i don't have kindle, google, apple. can someone go get a copy of Mein Kampf and let me know if it's real?pango
    • Mondo doesn't get that he's being the whining idiot in this situation. Snowflakes are funny that way.garbage
    • No reason not public domain?! That only kicks in many decades after the author dies, and if nobody owns the rights. He hasn’t been dead very long dude.monospaced
    • There are many reasons, all good, why his books are published and not free like mein kampf. What a stupid fucking thai g to say.monospaced
    • is it 30 yrs or 50 yrs?
      i know disney is trying to make it even longer.      pango
    • If we don’t learn from history we’re bound to repeat it, we should absolutely have access to the worst shit ever written, the most vile, the most racist_niko
    • It’s a snapshot of a time and a place, how else can we get past it and evolve?_niko
    • Yes pango. You can download Mein Kampf of on Google Play Store, App Store and Kindle. I just checked Play Store, in fact you can freely downloadKhurram
    • the audio version of Mein Kampf narrated by Michael Ford no less. In my opinion, this is an absolutely benign book. It's nothing more than a culture curiosity.Khurram
    • It's the belligerent ravings of an idiot, who can't write for shit, complainign about slavic races and the betrayal of the austro-hungarian empire.Khurram
    • we have no contextual framework for the grievances Hitler was airing in this book; not even white supremacists can relate to the historiiocityKhurram
    • of the German defeat in WW1 from which the racism and hates of Mein Kampf breeds forth. And so, it's not even an important text in white supremacist ideology.Khurram
    • it's nothing like the great work of literature say, Karl Marx' Communist manifesto is or Das Kapital. With resolute intellectual rigor and a timeless messageKhurram
    • Mein Kampf absolutely has no power and we should all be able to freely download it and stare at it and be like "wtf"?Khurram
    • It'd be like downloading Donald Trumps tweets - not comparing him to a Nazi - but his specific grievances and the anger and sentiment he's explioiting are soKhurram
    • historically contigent, that they could never make any more sense to future generations that the wild ravings of a mad man.Khurram
    • So yeah, i do think Mein Kampf and all these Dr Seuss book should be openly and freely available as the historicla curiositiies that they are.Khurram
    • They have no power apart from that.And the guy who wrote the is dead, so they should not be copyright protected decades after his demiseKhurram
    • They should be copyrighted for decades after his death of course, because the estate still publishes it and claims it. Nobody did that with Mein Kampfmonospaced
    • Having MK in the public domain, I AGREE, is important. The Seuss estate has every right to unpublish their own works, for any reason.monospaced
    • And you have every right to go find those books and buy them.monospaced
    • also i hear the library to keep track of who borrows MK. not sure if true.pango
