SNEAKY CHINESE COMMUNISTS EXPOSED

Is there a word for when the world becomes what used to be satire? I remember when The Red Scare of the fifties was made fun of as ridiculous hysteria (Hank Hills dad, Fallout and Harvester come to mind off the top of my head of jokes the 90s' used to make about The Red Scare), and here we are repeating the mistakes that we used to shame the past for.

Pop history is such insufferable lib shit. Ironically, bookstores are the last place you will find intelligent works.

Go to the library while you still can.

Libraries in Poland are also full of that, because older books got purged and for 35 years only such shit is published so they don't even have the choice.

I buy books online or pirate them most of the time. I hadn't visited a real bookstore for a while and was in an area I don't usually visit so I took a look out of curiosity. I wish I had stayed away, touching grass was a mistake.

Yeah i rarely go to book stores too, mostly just to browse the scifi section, but the politics section reeks of shit, sometimes with whole rows dedicated to anticommunism
