THE END OF BOOKS? How ELITIST LITERARY CULTS and BILLIONAIRE MEDIA BARONS are SYSTEMATICALLY DESTROYING your MIND. Forget the cozy little magazines for the in-crowd—the real war for your intellect is being lost in the once-great newspapers. Their noble mission to create an ENLIGHTENED PUBLIC is being MURDERED in broad daylight, replaced by a soul-crushing algorithm designed to keep you stupid and scrolling.
These institutions once swore oaths to tell “ALL THE TRUTH,” a completist ideal battling the parochial narcissism of the digital age. Now, they are surrendering to it. When the Washington Post axed its revered Book World, it wasn’t just a business decision—it was a CULTURAL SURRENDER. Insiders reveal traffic was SURGING, proving a HUNGER for serious criticism that the suits deliberately ignored. The final nail? Jeff Bezos’s brazen censorship, spiking a Kamala Harris endorsement and purging hundreds of thousands of thinking subscribers. This isn’t restructuring; it’s a PURGE of the literate class.
Your newspaper is supposed to be the opposite of your Instagram feed—a bastion of challenging, uncompromising generalism. It was meant to REPROACH your laziest instincts, to force-feed you knowledge you didn’t know you needed. Now, it’s being gutted to reflect your own dumbed-down preferences in a “DISMAL MISE EN ABYME.” The public is a fiction, and the billionaires who own your news are ensuring it stays that way, creating a world where you are only fed the thin sliver of reality you can passively tolerate.
They aren’t just killing book sections; they are ERASING the very architecture of a shared intellectual life, leaving you alone in a digital cage of your own making. The next page you turn may be the last one written for a free mind.
