Tom DB 🦣@MarkHoltom Yeah but dear readers and commenters…these riots have nothing to do with books of book banning. It is a consequence of a knife incident with a minor. Wrong assumptions….the age of social media outrage.
Melissa@TomDB @MarkHoltom I haven't looked at the news, so thanks...and I'm still really raw from the awful right-wing stuff in America, where book banners have money and a horrible agenda beyond libraries.
@mtechman @MarkHoltom Yeah, I don't understand the reasoning behind those groups either, or the funding to destabilize the opportunity of young children to read some really great literature. Doesn't make any sense.
Its quite simple. We have had over 10 years of Tories screaming about 'invaders' and ''illegal' immigrants.
These have spawned fascist groups with the specific agenda of getting rid of immigrants to 'take back our country'
The Tories are no longer in power but the Nazi mouth breathers are still out there.
They took the opportunity of children's murder to say it was committed by a muslim immigrant (not true), and used this to organise, rise up and riot.
@MarkHoltom @mtechman It's a damn shame really, that people in power deceive so many others only to think it's the way to stay in power. Frankly the ones acting like that in the upper echelons are all idiots for what I care. Pity people are too easily falling for bs reasonings.
@TomDB @MarkHoltom or no reasoning...see also Facebook etc, and the profitable tech stuff that has acted as accelerant
