The next time I’m on a plane and the stewardess gives this command, I’m going to flag her down and tell her that I can’t find the on/off switch for my print copy of Anna Karenina, by Leo Tolstoy.
Flight Attendant DESTROYED using FACTS and LOGIC!
MARXIST TERROR: How one Radical Democrat stewardess BRAINWASHED an entire plane full of Americans into DEFENESTRATING a DISSENTING INTELLECTUAL at 30,000 feet.
and yet they publish this stinkpiece ON A BLOG

Lmao reactionaries don’t read books
By reading they mean quote mining to show off their impressive memory skills.
I only quote mine to dunk on capitalism
The works of the roots of the vines, of the trees, must be destroyed to keep up the price, and this is the saddest, bitterest thing of all. Carloads of oranges dumped on the ground. The people came for miles to take the fruit, but this could not be. How would they buy oranges at twenty cents a dozen if they could drive out and pick them up? And men with hoses squirt kerosene on the oranges, and they are angry at the crime, angry at the people who have come to take the fruit. A million people hungry, needing the fruit- and kerosene sprayed over the golden mountains. And the smell of rot fills the country. Burn coffee for fuel in the ships. Burn corn to keep warm, it makes a hot fire. Dump potatoes in the rivers and place guards along the banks to keep the hungry people from fishing them out. Slaughter the pigs and bury them, and let the putrescence drip down into the earth.
There is a crime here that goes beyond denunciation. There is a sorrow here that weeping cannot symbolize. There is a failure here that topples all our success. The fertile earth, the straight tree rows, the sturdy trunks, and the ripe fruit. And children dying of pellagra must die because a profit cannot be taken from an orange. And coroners must fill in the certificate- died of malnutrition- because the food must rot, must be forced to rot. The people come with nets to fish for potatoes in the river, and the guards hold them back; they come in rattling cars to get the dumped oranges, but the kerosene is sprayed. And they stand still and watch the potatoes float by, listen to the screaming pigs being killed in a ditch and covered with quick-lime, watch the mountains of oranges slop down to a putrefying ooze; and in the eyes of the people there is the failure; and in the eyes of the hungry there is a growing wrath. In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage.
:very-intelligent: You complain about the decline of the book and yet you publish 2 pages of horseshit instead of bottling it up to later write your own book whilst in a fugue state.
Nobody wants to read anymore, anyways let me review a race science book the LIBERALS don’t want to read: https://theimaginativeconservative.org/2022/01/facing-reality-two-truths-race-america-charles-murray-jerry-salyer.html
Why would I pay $29.99 for a book when I can just visit my pals at zlib
western culture being rocked by the fact i can read the foundational texts of ““western civ”” for free and in a little light box much lighter than a book
I can’t read long form text on a cell phone screen. Audio book? Fine. Paperback? Fine. Cell phone for more than 20 consecutive minutes? No no no.
i meant like a kindle or whatever. lighter than some paperbacks and basically all hardcover
