Bizarre, and completely unique in terms of atmosphere. Some sections shine more than others - definite room for improvement, but an intriguing band nonetheless.

The Talmud is preserved verbatim in the memories of thousands of Hasidim, so burning all the copies would be pretty pointless.

Nabokov, V. A cheap sensationalist. Empty style, overdone Blues Traveler on a lazy day-level (in)substance.

I'm pretty sure that we could burn those as well, although such a task would pose an unprecedented logistical problem.

All texts of any kind that are not my manifesto for love.


Eventually, like in 1984,all other bs, wrong ways of thinking will die out and all will think like me and therefore it'll be a utopia

seriosuly though none of them.

if you can't counter written arguments with your own(especially considering you're some kind of supreme leader) in a convincing way then you're the one to blame. censorship is inherently anti-intellectual with the intentions of covering up what's wrong rather than understanding why it is.

My regime will not tolerate censorship.
