Will SJWs burn books? Have they already begun? I don't know. YET. I do know that some book burning has already begun in other areas:



Rather Burn a climate skeptic book than read itHigher Ed: Professors would rather burn climate skeptic book than read it

'two public university climate scientists think it’s a good idea to post a picture of themselves getting ready to burn a book filled with what they consider to be apostasy? How open-minded. How liberal. How disgusting. But the joke — as sick as it is — turns out to be on those who pose as the intellectual betters of you and me.'

Will SJWs burn books? You already saw in a previous journal entry that they are actively attacking science-fiction writers, among others. In my mind, science-fiction / fantasy writers would be the ones who bring the MOST to the diversification of ideas.... but that apparently is anathema to these micro-pinhead minds.

In seeking to discover if any such burning is already occurring I found this item which I thought you with open, enquiring minds would find of interest:

Fahrenheit 451: The dystopia Social Justice Warriors are working to create.

With Vox Day releasing SJWs Always Lie: Taking Down the Thought Police I dusted off our copy of Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 to reread his 1979 essay Coda.  Coda is a protest against everyone who would censor or edit his work, including those who would edit for brevity and those who would edit out “offensive” content.  But Bradbury reminds us that the censorship in Fahrenheit 451 came from those who would censor content which offended them:

The point is obvious. There is more than one way to burn a book. And the world is full of people run­ning about with lit matches. Every minority, be it Baptist / Unitarian, Irish / Italian / Octogenarian / Zen Buddhist, Zionist/Seventh-day Adventist, Women’s Lib/ Republican, Mattachine/ Four Square Gospel feels it has the will, the right, the duty to douse the kerosene, light the fuse. Every dimwit editor who sees himself as the source of all dreary blanc-mange plain porridge unleavened literature, licks his guillotine and eyes the neck of any author who dares to speak above a whisper or write above a nursery rhyme.

Fire-Captain Beatty, in my novel Fahrenheit 451, described how the books were burned first by minori­ties, each ripping a page or a paragraph from this book, then that, until the day came when the books were empty and the minds shut and the libraries closed forever.

' as we can see all around us, it is the Social Justice Warriors (SJWs) who are truly committed to censoring anything which they find offensive or disturbing.'

Ray Bradbury was ahead of his time.

The book burnings will come. The small minds who mock us for thinking so, will cheer when it actually happens.

Ray Bradbury — 'You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.'
