From the article, talking about the complaints citing the Moms for Liberty rating system:

“Anne Frank’s Diary” and “Maus” both rate a “2” on BookLooks, with the site’s objections to the latter described as “hate involving antisemitism and racism; violence; nonsexual nudity; and mild/infrequent profanity.”

Would you look at that: non-sexual nudity, oh the shock and horror, children might learn that underneath clothes people are naked 😱

As shown by the complaint quoted in the article they’re removing these books because they discuss historical horrors, violence, and hate, therefore your argument holds no water at all.

Literally the article.

the propaganda that is an attack on people that want to sensor books.

How is this propaganda?

Also you are completely incorrect. Those books are ABSOLUTELY are about history and learning.

Anne Frank’s Dairy is a first hand historical account of life an oppressed and genocided group under facism. Maus is another recollection of first-hand historical accounts of a polish Jew being interviewed by his son but shown visually in a cartoon graphic novel to make the context more visually palatable for a younger audience without avoiding the horrific events of history.

What next? Are you going to claim the Horrible History books are neither educational or historical as well?

I literally said the opposite. How did you come to that conclusion?

Um I can think of a few differences but I think the major one is that one of the geriatric fucks actually promised to end democracy in the US.

So, maybe don’t back his team?

Well if it ends up in civil war, can you at least launch the nukes and end the whole world as well, I’m kind of done being alive and going out with everyone else is probably the best excuse for not continuing on.

History is uncomfortable. Revising it to tell lovely stories is all well and good for building a national identity.

However, sugar-coating, ignoring, or even flat-out erasing parts of history benefits no one. People started writing events down accurately because the orators of old never intended paint an accurate picture of the past. And therefore lessons learnt from the failures of humanity (lost causes, preventable catastrophies, perspectives of people on the wrong side, genocides, etc.) were also lost.

History should be uncomfortable, so we can collectively learn and have a chance to do better the next time.

You do realise that there’s a version of Mien Kampf that’s four times as long because there’s several experts annotating and debunking Hitler’s ideas right there on the page.

How about affirming the two-state solution. You know, the one that everyone sensible has been pushing for to resolve this conflict.

I would guess this is likely to get Russia to dedicate more forces to protecting their nuclear capabilities because without that Putin knows he’s fucked.

The more anti-missile and anti-air are dedicated to protecting nuclear triad infrastructure, the less is protecting other assets like HQs, supply depos, aircraft and other conventional combat systems.

Because everyone knows it as twitter.

Retire? Nah when I’m done with life I’m just going to blow my brains out all over a politician or millionaire hedge fund manager.

They want to fuck over my future, I’ll take their sanity and gift wrap enough PTSD that every sleep is a nightmare.

Sorry citizen, every time you enter the bar we’ve got to take a swab from your genitals to check that since you were last here you haven’t fucked any kids.

Fucking ridiculous. If you want to prevent CSAM spreading across Europe do this instead:

• new funding for a cross boarder specialist taskforce to coordinate law enforcement agencies.
• hide the identity of defendant and victim during trials.
• offer a slightly lighter sentence to offenders if they successfully help with bringing down the rings.
• a large cross-boarder sting operation.
• new funding for therapy for offenders to reform them and during and after they’ve served their time.
• new funding for a confidential service to provide prevention therapy to potential offenders before they commit that horrid act against a child.

Investigation and surgical removal of the whole rotten ring of kid fuckers will curve CSAM creation and distribution in the EU.

Then preventative measures to stop creators/ consumers of CSAM because prevention is more effective than trying to cure it.

Child sexual abuse is one of, if not the most evil act someone can commit and they should face very steep punishment for it. And anyone proposing any policy offering help to reform them is committing political suicide.

But ignoring the fact that people have the capacity to commit an evil act of that magnitude, demonising them, and then offering no support network to prevent them is not going to solve the problem. It doesn’t work for any crime and certainly not this.

Let’s also not forget those lucrative NASA and Military contracts. A lot of private and public money riding on this.

Until your knees & thighs start burning.

The moment Elon knows she thinks he’s a smearing-shit-on-wall toddler in a middle-age body, she’s gone.

I seem to recall a post saying that SpaceX has a management team in place to insulate the rest of the company from Musk’s idiocy.

Gwynne is simply performing her job to stop the man-baby from crying and throwing his toys out of the pram and therefore jeopardising the US’ most successfull commercial launcher.

Maybe “Ban this book if you are gay”.

You know, since these pearl clutchers have the intelligence of middle schoolers maybe applying the same deterrence logic.

Time to write a sequel Alan.

And thus the inherent dichotomy of a decentralised social network is revealed: social networks require the network effect for good senses of communities which means one instance will end up hosting most of the bigger communities, therefore true decentralisation can’t occur on Lemmy but it’s a step in the right direction.

This 100% this.

As much as I am left-of-centre I respect all MPs that are local to their constituency and actually listen to their concerns with proper surgery hours. This method of political parties parachuting in politicians is one of many issues with the way representative democracy has been implemented in this country.

We can gloat now, but I fear that the Tories will veer further right to get back into power.

Every dimension of the world is heating up and everyone is getting desperate.

The common folk are clawing for change and will grasp anything to take back some power. The elites are feeling the walls close in around them and will lash out at any perceived threat to their position.

Once Labour win, we’ll have 5 years to prepare for worse times to come, 10 maximum. It’s not going to be pretty after that.

I want off this fucking sinking island, before it pulls me under with it. But I fear there’s nowhere else to run to, no shelter to ride out the storm. Humanity has never faced the collapse of a global civilization before, and I feel a lot of us will see it happen before we depart this world.
