New Zealand psychotechnician Vince McLeod wrote a book called Clown World Chronicles to explain the ongoing decline of the Western World. The book has been well-received, earning a 4.7 out of 5 star average rating from 18 ratings across Amazon and GoodReads.

It's not often that an educated New Zealander writes a successful work of political humour in the vein of Desmond Morris's The Human Zoo and The Naked Ape. One would think, therefore, that such an effort would be appreciated and cherished. But Clown World Chronicles is already banned!

In New Zealand there's only one real online marketplace and that's TradeMe. Clown World Chronicles was selling fine on TradeMe, getting positive reviews, until...

...a local far-left-wing political radical and former terrorist fundraiser heard about Clown World Chronicles and stirred up a Twitter cancel mob, claiming that the book contains "antisemitic and racist content"(a claim debunked here).

TradeMe caved immediately to the cancel mob, a clear violation of McLeod's human rights under the Human Rights Act 1993 Section 21(j), which prohibits discrimination on the grounds of political opinion. This petition is to demand that they grow a backbone, apologise to McLeod and reinstate sales of Clown World Chronicles on their online platform.

This is an important case because, if TradeMe wins, free speech is dead in New Zealand. If online sellers with effective monopolies are allowed to unfairly discriminate against successful authors, those authors will have no meaningful way to contribute to our cultural, intellectual and political life. Everything except for a narrow range of globalist propaganda will be verboten.
