Don't worry, you can still buy "Mein Kampf" and "The Communist Manifesto" so all is not lost.

It's a good thing that Islamophobia didn't kill 50 people last week.

Always good to see the lefties getting hysterical and banning everything in sight.

Yeah, and what was that about how there's no reason to protect freedom of speech?

I thought the 'assault weapons' did it all on their own?

$1:

Whitcoulls did not explain any connection between Peterson and the Christchurch tragedy or the alleged gunman.

Among his fans are some white supremacy adherents, but neither Peterson nor his book is referenced anywhere in the 74-page manifesto allegedly released by the killer prior to the March 15 attacks.

Nothing like a wild over-reaction to an incident to make yourselves look good to the hipsters. No different at all from Chapters/Indigo banning Mein Kampf all those years ago because feelings/sensitivity/whatever. New Zealand was already hyper-politically correct/virtue signalling before the shooting and it looks like they're more than happy to use the shooting as a "reason" to triple/quadruple-down on it.

Also, thanks to the feckin' Kiwis I discovered this book and have now ordered it!

It's just funny;

Deaths directly attributed to Jordan Peterson: 0; BANNED. Monster.
Deaths directly attributed to Adolf Hitler: 6,500,000 Jews and minorities, 61,000,000 total dead; We'll allow this cool guys book to be sold.
Deaths directly attributed to Communism: ~100,000,000; This book is cool too, lets sell it.

The Kiwi leftists oppose Peterson and tacitly support Hitler and Stalin.

Death camps for the undesirables and the political opposition seem to have a recurring popularity with the left no matter where they live.

Deaths directly attributable to all the so-called "holy" books out there, INCLUDING/ESPECIALLY the Koran: uncountable, yet their adherents all claim their texts are the roadmap to being a righteous person.

Ain't got no time to count that high. But it's probably 435457586747346523234354356678 people killed in the name of "God"

I would put that number even higher if you go back in time to include all the world and every religion there has ever been. Yet some gods of ancient time were into all that killing and destruction. We are horrified by what goes on now yet back then it was the norm. Smaller scale do to less humans populating the earth but still what went on then was acceptable because it was in the name of (insert what ever god or gods you can find).

sigh sorry I almost went into the long winded rant thing again.

[PluggyRug]

The grave dancers out there are just as despicable as the perpetrator.

[llama66]

I firmly believe events like the Christchurch shooting, and 9/11 and every despicable act in-between stem from our unwillingness to talk, and to understand each other. Will the conversation be a comfortable one? Probably not. But its one that needs to happen if we want this shit to stop.
