@crisisauteur You find the 'read banned books' people so upsetting since they are expressions of the same beliefs you hold in a more flaccid/unflattering manner. you are operating within the same liberal ideology; no matter how much you attempt to posture as the rational opposition
@crisisauteur your argument rests on the same liberal moralism though, far-right books are harder to find since they sell less and can create neg controversy for the corp vendor.
books will be made more available when class interests shift/end, not when the 'good' people vanquish the 'bad'
@iycrtylph I feel like 'pornography' isn't the right term for what you're referring to, it's too broad. Story of the Eye, Pink Narcissus, or Hans Bellmer's work could all be described as pornographic but non are passive or reify existing gender relations in the same way as an LA stag film
I never wake from the dream, I mistake it for my life, I fold hundreds of paper stars not to mention tiny translucent origami ghost orchids, I lay in the mud, I dream inside the dream, I want and want and want and want and want
@Kali_de_Armas Veterans are not free floating minds making these decisions in a vacuum, they exist within their material conditions and have their decisions informed/shaped by them. while a generalized moral condemnation is tempting, it obscures the reasons people participate in these systems.
