What the fuck is the "book community" there's no community. Books are a fact of life, they aren't some fad. You read to learn, to grow, and to experience things you couldn't in your regular life. They aren't something you can ignore. Everyone reads. Humans have lived surrounded by words for thousands of years. That's like saying that there's a "breathing community" or a "walking community." Books are a fact of life, not some new over-consumption tinted fad for corporations to sink their grimy teeth into. To imply a community is to imply so.eone outside of that community. And there shouldn't be a single person who doesn't read. That's like gatekeeping the concept of love. I couldn't imagine a more bleak setting than a world where reading and books are absent.

What we are seeing is a global movement toward hyper-conservatism. This is a direct effect of the neo-feudalistic corporate overlords. These ultra-powerful surrealestate owners have an economic stranglehold on our states, which allows them to exert pressure on the citizens in said states and impose their own rule on the populace. We saw this with Musk controlling operations in Ukraine, with Meta's new policies regarding restrictions on social and gender speech on their platforms and the political melding of corporate and political America. We are currently in the new economic revolution, and we aren't headed towards some new utopia of freedom, but heading back towards feudal lords and godlike monarchs.

The current American ruling party, the one just elected into office, is comprised predominantly of racist radicals, nazi sympathizers (not to mention actual nazis), and wealthy upperclass pigs, with a felonious rapist at the helm. Anyone trying to tell you otherwise is either, a: a time traveler who doesn't know what year it is, or b: a willingly-uneducated prick whose only saving grace is that their bigotry is so repellent as to render them utterly friendless. If you voted for Donald Trump's campaign of "cheaper eggs" and "ending wars," I hope you will understand the gravity of your actions. You have willingly appointed a known womanizer, rapist, convicted felon, nazi-sympathizing asshat as the most powerful person in the country. I hope you understand just how shit these next few years are going to be for everyone, not just the minorities you hate. Even the members of the Nazi party had to ration their meat during the war.

A truly totalitarian government will use the hyper-reactionary populous' fascination with the absurd and irresponsible to obfuscate their actual goals. They will scapegoat minorities and manufacture crises that the main news organizations will sensationalize for the purpose of dividing the populous. We are currently seeing a scandalous leader rise to power, over the coming months he will engage in a series of seemingly idiotic ventures. Do not be fooled, these undertakings exist solely to distract the citizens from the actually important actions they ruling party will take.
