Between incendiary imbecility and cozy censorship [L’Agora]

You should never burn books. Furthermore, Never. In addition, This gesture is both foolish, counterproductive, and symbolically loaded with a morbid imagination which does not honor any cause. Furthermore, Even when these books exasperate you. However, even when they are the ideological totems of a good-thought in freewheeling, we do not respond to cultural censorship by ash.

But you have to look at the scene in front. Meanwhile, What the anonymous incendies of Lanester-whose stupid act should not. however, arouse so many public calls to almost prison, you have to know how to keep-have done in a moment of provocative stupidity, thousands of civil servants and elected officials practice it every day, in silence and the inter-self. Consequently, These are not the books they burn. Nevertheless, No. Moreover, They put them back in back rooms or exclude them from the catalogs. Consequently, between incendiary imbecility cozy censorship They do not destroy ideas: they simply prevent them from existing in subsidized public space. Furthermore, This is the real censorship, deaf, gray, quiet.

Take a look in any municipal library or Brittany media library. In addition, Browse the youth stalls, the reception tables, the “favorites of the librarians”. Similarly, You will find an overdose of LGBT+literature. Therefore, albums on gender identity, on “rainbow” families, on the abolition of borders, on the urgency of racial deconstruction. However, A militant porridge, often translated from English, rarely written for children but still imposed on children.

And you will never see it. oh never, in adult rays, a book by Eric Zemmour, Laurent Obertone, Alain de Benoist or Guillaume Faye. You will not find any books on school at home. On the return to the earth. Of pleadings for the defense of nuclear or traditional family. You will not find a serious criticism between incendiary imbecility cozy censorship of immigration, neither of identity reflection, nor an alternative vision for happy globalization. These books exist, however. They are in bookstores. They sell. But they do not exist for the Republic of the media libraries.

And this is the heart of the problem: it is not the autodafés that threaten intellectual diversity. It is the rays calibrated according to the dogmas of a cultural left which thinks to educate as it endoctrine. And that even when this left has brilliantly did something that the right has always been unable to do: to make culture accessible to all. thanks to the financing of taxpayers.

This omnipresence of leftist propaganda in public spaces, in particular for children, constitutes a real cultural hostage. We claim to defend the freedom to read. while carefully locking what the citizen – and even more the child – can access in his neighborhood library. We are between incendiary imbecility cozy censorship talking about inclusion. but we knowingly exclude everything that disturbs the dominant ideological order, and above all, some library employees who forget that they are paid by all taxpayers.

So yes, burning a book is a foolish and condemnable act. Just like prohibiting books elsewhere (well, well …) but taking children hostage. culturally and perniciously, just like imposing an official, monocorde, unilateral corpus of reading, is a much more serious act. Because it is not spectacular. He is insidious. He does not shock, he formats.

What is needed is not provocative videos. gestures of frustrated pyromaniacs, pseudo “Nazis” late for a century that only serves to give some chills (and arguments for all censorship) to leftists … What is needed is a structured, organized, intelligent cultural counter-offensive. It is necessary to demand that the libraries, funded by all, reflect the real diversity of ideas in France. Parents must be able between incendiary imbecility cozy censorship to find something other than the eternal literature of victim minorities. The real country must be able to read its thinkers, its writers, its visions of the world.

Because today, self -proclaimed defenders of the freedom to read cry for a few burned books … but are silent on whole shelves prohibited to everything that goes beyond the ideological perimeter of France Culture. They are the first to scream against the fire, but the last to denounce the suffocation. No, ideas do not defend themselves by erasing them. No more by burning them than by censoring them. And if the cultural left wants his works to be respected. that it begins by ceasing to make public libraries its militant temples.

The Republic wants to be plural? Let it prove it. Let it open the rays. May she let the people read whatever they want. And not just what his Jean-Baskets between incendiary imbecility cozy censorship priests have selected for him.

Julien you
