The Dems removed it to use as their instruction manual and mission statements.
Ugghhh....
Just DL it in PDF, here's a really good site to get it....
An DO the print outs, that way you keep at least a Soft Copy of it....

The most recent removal of 1984 is by Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds, a republican, with a sweeping legislation on removing all books that depict sex scenes.
Might wanna check your facts.
It was a joke... you do remember 'jokes' don't you? Things that made people laugh and often pointed out absurdities? I know, we've pretty much forgotten about jokes in the modern age, or they have been driven underground, but you MIGHT just want to check them out. Yes, they really did exist, and may again one bright day when this cloak of eternal wokeness is overthrown.
It’s not really pointing out any actual absurdity. Whats absurd is all the republicans banning these books.
I found it easily enough and I've never used that site:

Now, about that ukraine flag....
You can bring it up on archive but are unable to borrow to read it. Just opens the first few pages.
Every single American should OWN a physical copy of that book regardless.
Agree 100%. You can get a cheap used copy on ebay for a couple bucks. I got a copy, it's currently in the 'politics and foreign policy' section of my bookshelf (not on the fiction bookshelf haha).
I bet they won't remove Brave New World since that contains pedophilia.
There was a legislation in Iowa, signed off by Kim Reynolds, that banned a huge number of books, including Brave New World and 1984, for depictions of sex.
It's pretty heinous how much got removed from that legislation.
What about the likes of actual kiddy porn in school libraries?
What about it?
As in, did that get banned along with Brave New World etc
They go by book titles. I don’t know what book title you want me to search for that.
How very Orwellian of them!
I bought and read it in 1986. I have 4 books in my keep forever cabinet, and it it in there. He may have not been good at datefaggin, but he definitly saw what is going on today.
Oh yeah? How about they remove all their archives of GAW by some redditards and fedboi cucks then?
Now who’s the book burner now?
maybe its the prelude to a planned Fahrenheit 451, they gotta do something about all the physical copies too.
Can you find it there via the WayBack machine or will that cause a ripple in the space time continuum like Tom & Jerry when they all get sucked into a vacuum or black hole?
