Roosh V's pickup books, some on sale for more than 5+ years, all pulled from Amazon with no explanation.

https://twitter.com/rooshv/status/1039144452722327552

What happened to liberals?
1988: "You shouldn't label Metal & Prince Music, and stores need to stand up for Creative Freedom!"
2018: "If Amazon doesn't ban books on picking up chicks, it's endorsing Patriarchical Nazis!"

Daryush is really entertaining and is actually insightful when he's not talking about being a poon-hound.

Thanks for the reminder, amazon, I just bought Roosh's life's work collection, only $35. Streisand Effect is in force.

Most interested in reading "Free Speech Isn't Free".


What? I thought it was banned?? Or burned.

How on Earth were you able to buy it???

Roosh V...


is a jerk who exploits insecure and mostly unattractive males. Whatever the reason for some of his books no longer appearing on Amazon, it isn't censorship. Amazon sells Mein Kampf, for example. Maybe Muslim Roosh claims to be 'banned' to boost sales or divert them to his own site so he gets more of the sale proceeds for himself. He has actually said that his work popularizes a form of Islam, so perhaps he can rationalize lying as taqiya.

Bakery case was religious freedom based. You can’t force someone to worship Satan and give up their faith. It wasn’t the “we don’t like it” case, it was “religious freedom” case.

But book burning is based on political witch hunt. While liberals screamed injustice to baker they harassed, they decided to ban books for political reasons because they “don’t like it”. There’s your difference. Your team is hypocritical Nazis.

Im just pointing out the hypocrisy of the left and their ties to Nazism.

Book burners are the left. Your team is team Nazi.


Who's burning books?

The only hypocrites are Trump cultists. The want private business to have all the rights of a person except when those businesses do things they don't like. Period.

Funny you had the exact opposite opinion when a gay person wanted a bakery to make them a wedding cake.


Trump cultists are always the hypocrites on every argument. Always.

#1-- Nobody is burning books.
#2--Nobody is banning books. This is obvious because a poster said like 2 posts above that he just easily bought them.

So, this issue isn't burning/banning books. What Trump cultists advocate is the government FORCING private companies to do business with their preferred parties.

Completely hypocritical as is typical for Trump cultists.

You complained about books being "burned" and "banned". All that happened was Amazon decided not to stock them.

If you weren't advocating that Amazon should be forced to sell them, what are you saying?
23   Ceffer   2018 Sep 11, 1:37pm  

I wondered why my internet screen saver fireplace was full of books.

Huh? You are arguing FOR government interference in the private sector. And FOR socialism.


Since when do liberals encourage huge book sellers not to carry books?

This is an entirely new thing over the past few years.

Especially a monopolist of online sales and e-books.
https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2014/05/amazon-has-basically-no-competition-among-online-booksellers/371917/

Remember the Dixie Chicks? I don't remember Liberals and Progressives screaming that "Radio Stations are Private Companies! Cox Media has a right to ban the Dixie Chicks, and it's capitalism in action!"


curious2 says

if they carry Mein Kampf, why not books on picking up chicks? The latter can't be worse than the former.

I bet you if Salman Rushdie wrote "Satanic Verses" today, the Democratic base would be protesting stores that carried the title as "Encouraging Islamophobic hatred".

I don't recall the Democratic base doing any of the things you state. Amazon is not the Democratic party. Hell, Bernie Sanders just slammed Amazon recently.

That's why I suspect this is a marketing stunt by Roosh V. Maybe he was demanding a higher % of gross sales of the affected works than Amazon's standard terms, and so Amazon stopped selling the affected works instead.

You would win that bet, at least there would be many examples.

Well, his stuff is back up.

Could have been a bad algo, which I think a lot of these kinds of calls are.

Amazing Atheist just got a video banned by Youtube for hate speech, on being brought in front of the school counselor after Columbine. hahaha

OK--so do you think private companies should have the decide what products to sell in their store or on their website?

If you are regulating and saying what gender/race a company should hire/treat, then you are discriminating on what thought someone expresses-can't have it both ways. if regualtions exist, it must extend to thought-if not egt rid of allr ace/gender laws.

Huh? This makes no sense at all.

Let's start over. Do you think the government should decide which products a private company must sell in their store or on their website? Yes or no?
32   lostand confused   2018 Sep 11, 5:25pm  

LeonDurham says

Of course it makes no sense to you. Nobody her eis asking the government to regulate anything. We are calling out the liberal madness of suppressing thought.
However the govt regulates a bunch of things-since you appear not to support govt regulation-why do you support govt regulating race/gender/orientation etc etc. If a company should eb free to ban boopks on ideology, a company should be free to ban gay books or gay employees or women wearing pants? It should eb totally upto the company?

Liberals.
33   LeonDurham   2018 Sep 11, 5:28pm  

lostand confused says

So a company deciding which products to stock is suppressing thought?? wtf?

I went to the grocery store today and they no longer stocked Braeburn apples. God damn conservatives burning apples again.

lostand confused says

Again--a company deciding not to stock a product is NOT banning that product for fuck's sake. A poster just bragged about buying said book earlier today. How can Trump cultists be so short sighted to confuse ONE store not stocking a product with said product being "banned"?

By your logic, a company not hiring a black person because theya re black si not racist. This is not one instance as you liberal propagandist want tos ell-this is a large pattern that is dangerous-and very evident in the soviets/communist model.

lol--it's OK to insult liberals all day every day, but Trump cultist special snowflakes can't stand when someone dares insult their dear leader?

My logic is that private companies have the right to decide which products they will make/sell. It's their business model. My logic is also that a product is very different from an employee. My logic also is that companies must follow US law if they want to do business in the US.

employee makes product and hence by your logic, amker of product is less than product. US law was slavery-it can change. You are trying to have your cake and eat it too. I like regualtions on things I like, nobody can question that, but hey they are banning things I don't like-woohooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've very patiently explained what my logic is. Why do you feel the need to keep misstating and lying about what I believe?

And perhaps you can finally answer my question--Do you think companies should be able to decide which products they can make/sell? Or do you think the government should make that decision for all companies?

This is what is happening in a larger context. Liberlas have ben acting like teenagers throwing tantrums-no solutiuons , no ideas-just screaming mess throwing insults. Theyw ere used to being coddled and thinking they were here to change the world. They had genteel people , bu along came Trump who calls them on their BS. I think this is a microcosm of our countyr. More of us need to be the strong, but firm adults and call the liberals on their BS. They need to be shown for the teenage fools they are. Hopefully soem of them grow up and start acting like adults and think with common sense.

Thank god for Trump. We need more and more like him-if this republic is to be saved.
