More censorship from the Marxist left. You can bet Simon and Schuster was strongly advised to can the book.

What gets me is the left's hypocrisy. They've been burning down cities every night since the summer. Setting police cars and police stations on fire. Yet this Capitol riot is somehow worse than all of them??

Yes it was. This was an attack on democracy. If you can’t see that you are on the wrong side of history.

A publisher can publish or not publish. They probably gave the IDIOT an advance. So he is damned lucky to have that.

Did you think all the leftwing riots this year, night after night, was an attack on democracy? Did you object to the paid leftist loons attacking the Supreme Court Building during the Kavanaugh hearing? Cry me a fricking river, will you? You don't care. You're outrage is selective.

They were pressured by the Marxist powers-that-be to reject a certain best seller. Welcome to the USSR, people. YOU caused it.

Just like the old USSR. "If you oppose us, there will be consequences". Get ready for a lot more of that. And YOU people caused it. And when the time comes that YOU are in the Marxist left's crosshairs, don't complain to us.

Passive voice is your friend! Advised by whom/what?

And of course Simon and Schuster "censor" at least hundreds, likely thousands of authors who submit books for publications or ideas for books every year. SCANDAL!!! MY FREEDOMS!!!

It's somewhat different when it's the President fanning the flames of the would be insurrectionists, then doing nothing but adding fuel to the fire as those same MAGA insurrectionists thugs force an evacuation of the U.S. Capitol as it's in session certifying Trump as the Biggest Loser.
 
Mashmont said:
Yep. "Don't publish this. Or else."

Hawley has painted himself into a corner. He is a very book smart guy who only wants power.

You shouldn’t be complaining at all right now. There was an attempt to overthrow the Republic yesterday. Those who were involved or otherwise complicit will be punished. Who needs Marxists when we have a Trump cult?

In the USSR scumbags could avoid consequences.. Not here in the USA
 
Mashmont said:
He should. Simon and Schuster just got him a bestseller because of their censorship.

Good for Hawley, I guess. That's how free markets work. Do you have another point?

A private publishing company deciding not to publish a book is Marxism.

Let me check my copy of “Das Kapital” and get back to you.

S&S is business. This is a business decision. Why do you hate capitalism?

Are you endorsing communism?
