Honestly if OSE/Necrotic Gnome get put on the list, I will just be running Moldvay D&D straight from the source book. I'm so sick and tired of seeing companies bend the knee to the Woke Mafia!!

In other news, this list has helped me find all the cancerous books in my collection and add them to my burn pile. Keep up the good fight all!

If you already own them and are now considering burning them, then you're doing it wrong. You've already given "them" your money, it doesn't hurt "them" at all for you to burn the books, it only deprives you of your property. But, by all means, you do you and rage like those you demonize...

Given how politically charged book burning is in our society, might one not get an equally good optical impact by simply tossing them in the recycle bin? At least that way the paper can be reused for something better (TP, for example)?

Greetings!

*Laughing* Yes, of course, that may be reasonable, friend.

But burning the books, watching them alight by the flames, has a deep, cathartic effect!

Semper Fidelis,

Perhaps I should have put something like "JK" or "LOL!" at the end. I have no means to burn them in the city I live in, thus I am just throwing them away. I have zero reason to keep them. They are only taking up space on my book shelves that I could put books from creators that don't bend the knee. Sorry for not being clear.

Ooo yes, wiping with them would be much better HAHA! They are going into the bin for sure. As I stated in a reply earlier I do not actually have a means to burn them in my city, we can not have open fires, and I do not have a fireplace.

Apparently rules cyclopedia and moldvay got permission to be archived years ago so you can find em for free on archive.org or something like that.

Do like me and send them to "the ebay pile"
No reason they should not recoup some value on the way out! Sold a few woke books already, feels great!

Selling them did cross my mind, but then am I not just perpetuating the stupid woke machine? IDK but also promoting capitalism by making money off them is pretty much throwing it in their faces too.

I think the people who would buy them second hand would be those who either don't use this list, or want these books despite their politics. In either case its one less new copy being sold, so it cannot perpetuate the cycle any more than not selling them will.

Imo secondary markets are not so much capitalism as much as they are free trade. Capitalism as a concept did not exist prior to 18th century and some attribute the origin of its coinage to Marx himself. From capitalism wikipedia page:
"The historiography of capitalism can be divided into two broad schools. One is associated with economic liberalism, with the 18th-century economist Adam Smith as a foundational figure. The other is associated with Marxism, drawing particular inspiration from the 19th-century economist Karl Marx."

So in a sense we humans have always liked to trade as freely as possible, some getting rich or ripping others off in the process sure, but it wasn't coined as this whole system to be loved or hated until about Marx's era. Basically I refuse to use Marx's definition of free trade (capitalism), and I am a huge proponent of free secondary markets. If an sjw perceives value in my second hand product, who am I to deny them that value for an agreeable price?

Overall, I think its best to just focus on improving/polishing your own collection/bank account and not worrying too much about throwing it back at them. As we have seen many times before, the left is perfectly capable of destroying itself in record time anyways.

You could make one of those toktik instagrem videos that the kids do, where you dance around and piddle on the books.\

You could give them to your local Antifa terrorist cell.

Well, I hope you'll also check out all the great OSR stuff on the green part of the list, all of which can be compatible and cool supplemental material for your original Moldvay game.

THIS IS SO HANDY!

Now I know to avoid the fucktard companies in green (not all are bad).

Great job, guys!

You are probably not convincing anyone about how great your ideas are with this, and doing a wonderful job of anti-selling them as you are conflating the greens that are anti-SJW with those that opt out of expressing an opinion either way on the topic. Not buying from a (in your view) right wing nutjob is one thing. Not buying from from something from a company that doesn't talk politics either personally or professionally is something else entirely.
