All I’m saying is I don’t think we’d be better off if more people started reading books like the Turner diaries. I’m not making a censorship argument here
Aye, didn’t want to accuse you of advocating for censorship. Just a friendly reminder that even the most “dangerous” texts are that way because of context, not content.
Also I was today years old when I learned about The Turner Diaries. Yikes.
There’s a book called the collector that had inspired a couple serial rapist/killers. I consider myself a curious person and I truly love learning but there are some books that I would love to see only in libraries and very dusty because I don’t know how they add constructively to society.
