I go to so many second hand book stores and this is completely dead on, to the extent I want to carry one at all times, just to put on shelves whenever I see the sorts of book it's mocking.

"controversially irrelevant" is
Damn, hardcore socialist dragons? This China place sounds pretty cool.
Also lol @ "Exposing how the Chinese Communist Party is reshaping the world"...they fucking televise that shit, it's not a secret master plan just because you can't understand Chinese and don't seek out translations.
Hell the "Governance of China" had most of them included, Xi literally promised all that publicly. But in Poland only first book in the series was published by the specialised publishing house covering diplomacy and international relations. Then they probably had visit of people from lettered agency explaining it wouldn't be wise to continue.
The strange death of Europe
Immigration, Identity, Islam
Starting to think those lulags can't reach the rest of the world soon enough.
It's right next to the MLK book too. You can't make this shit up
It's ok when it's only 99% Mein Kampf
"Russia's secret plan to defeat america"
Let me guess, it's election interference?
no, actually
it's women and minorities
The real plan
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

oo "where the rich own the truth" sounds like it could have some leftist messaging let’s see what the reviews are!
In this book we also see the dangers for their work in the current world. Truth risks being bought, processed and distributed. In Mexico, Russia, China, India and soon in other places a journalist writing like Tom Burgis will be killed after the first investigations and propaganda will be called reality. It’s for us all to support this work and preserve the liberty that we still have. For how long? It’s on us all.

i honestly might prefer the anti-communist slob to these almost-leftist writers that take any spark of discontent with the status quo and encase it in a thick layer of ideology.
Every bookstore in Poland looks like this on the shelves with "history" and "politics" cathegories, only there is much more anti-USSR books.
price of toilet paper never dropped down under from the 2020 prices, did they?

Good theory at the book store? At best you'll find the Communist Manifesto.
You can add islamophobia
Sure thing, done.
those prices seem untenable, even in down under funbucks
Oh my sweet summer child
After de-radicalising in my early adulthood, fake history / politics / theory must have added another five years onto my lib journey.
Bookstores make me cry.
The sheer angst when walking into a book store's "history" section
And it's wall to wall books on military "history" (solely on WWII) combined with books on "authoritarian dictators" like Stalin and Hitler, who are exactly the same person.
Bookstores used to be my favorite place to go to when I was a wee kid (no big library where I grew up). :(
It gets worse with every book lmao
incredibly surprised they even stocked Rudd's book after seeing the rest of the selection
They don't gotta burn the books they just remove 'em.
