When Antifa received word that Ngo's book was for sale at Powell's bookstore, they decided to show up and demand that the local chain cease selling it all together.
..
One of the people who showed up outside of Powell's bookstore said people need to show up every day until the store decides to stop selling the book. She compared the book to Mein Kampf.
And the antifa people are so STUPID that they don't realize what they are doing. The book hasn't officially been released yet and it is #8 top seller at Amazon right now. Way to go antifa! HIGH FIVE! (or is that a racist symbol now?) You are the best advertisement that book could ever have gotten. Without you violating people's constitutional rights, nobody would even know the book exists and sales would have been about like the latest fetish book in Amazon erotica.

Thank you for that!

On that note, people are nuts. So tired of all of this. Hope the people fighting were arrested.

I've read several articles written by him. More people should read them and become informed.

Antifa doesn't like what he wrote so they are demanding his book be removed.
Is that the America people are cheering for ?

The censoring, deplatforming and removal of books ?

That is sadly entirely untrue.


This is not a right/left issue. It is an American issue. We love to sacrifice our ethics for our morals, as a culture.

My understanding is Powell’s does carry Mein Kampf on their shelves, but no protest over that.

Everyone is protesting a book that hasn’t even been published yet! Has anyone read a single page of this book? They swear it is the most vile thing ever written, without reading a single word of it.

I recently ordered an American history book that supposedly forgoes the woke policy of rewriting history and has primary sources rather than a string of OpEd/rhetoric writer chain references as source material. I ended up ordering it from the actual publisher. It hasn't been released yet, but if you look at the amazon page, there are a bunch of negative reviews by people who have obviously not read it and have no way of knowing its contents.

I'm not going to name the book here as I did the Ngo book. If it ever actually gets published, I'll be interested to not only read its contents, but watch the woke suppressionist response.

The author has written several articles on Antifa. He even went undercover into one of their groups.
If you have read any of his articles you know his book will not elevate Antifa to any type of praise.

And the owner of the bookstore already told them he won't have any physical copies and they will have to buy it online. They are demanding he remove the book from his online ordering system.

You only see republicans overtake the Capitol to try and prevent the peaceful transition of power following democratic elections.

There is a surprisingly long list of 'illegal books'...some of the titles/subjects are very interesting.
