Amazon Purges Countermoonbat Books
Censorship need not be imposed by the government. Any entity that becomes sufficiently powerful can silence speech for ideological reasons. A prime example is Amazon:
The web retail giant has become the dominant market player in book sales, accounting for nearly 50 percent of physical and 83 percent of e-book sales in the U.S. As such, Amazon has the power to effectively cut an author off from the vast majority of the books market.
The thin edge of the wedge was Holocaust deniers. It is easy to get people to agree that Holocaust deniers should be denied a point of view. In much of Europe, Holocaust denial is illegal. So all books by Daryush Valizadeh were purged last year.
This February, they started on white nationalists, throwing books by Jared Taylor onto the bonfire. This is especially alarming due to the flexibility of the term white nationalist, which liberals often use to demonize anything right of center.
From there, Amazon soon moved to impose cyber sharia on behalf of progressives’ Muslim allies by banning a book by Tommy Robinson critical of Islam.
Freedom of speech should be sacred to all Americans and particularly booksellers. Amazon has not always opposed it:
In 2010, Amazon refused to take down a book defending pedophilia on first amendment grounds. “Amazon believes it is censorship not sell certain books simply because we or others believe their message is objectionable,” an Amazon representative told CNBC at the time.
Amazon even permits racial hatred, which is far worse than molesting children from the liberal point of view. It sells books by black nationalist Louis Farrakhan, despite the constant stream of racial hatred that keeps Calypso Louie in the news.
In contrast, in 2015 it banned the sale of merchandise depicting the Confederate flag, which mainly symbolizes the South in general but also resistance to overbearing authority, but which liberals choose to conflate with racism for purposes of social engineering.
A line in Videodrome comes to mind: “It has a philosophy, and that is what makes it dangerous.” In this case, the philosophy is moonbattery. Expect Amazon to increasingly suppress anything considered to undermine this pernicious philosophy.
