"We have to show up every day until they stop selling that f—king book"
An #antifa protester outside @Powells Books explains that stopping the release of my upcoming book would be like stopping the historical publication of Hitler's "Mein Kampf." https://t.co/8NVTtQwYNz

Lol, I’ve been to Powell’s. Lots of books. Maybe in the next video that gets released a member of ANTIFA can peg Ted Wheeler. It’s the logical next step for him. If he refuses, he’s a fascist.
Of course, Powell’s does indeed stock ‘Mein Kampf.’ I already own two different translations, but it’s still a book of great historical importance. Once upon a time, it was considered normal – important even – for people to study this shit.
George Santayana was right and we are all doomed to repeat some very rough history. See you all in the new Warsaw Ghetto. Za naszą i waszą wolność. Pomścimy Wawer.

In a lot of European countries where freedom of speech is only applied to the approved, books like Mein Kampf are indeed prohibited. In those countries the government also has other oppressive powers such as the power to prohibit a political party it doesn’t approve of.
Okay, now it’s personal. I have great memories of Powell’s.
This is progressing the deplatforming purge in another medium.
