Back around the turn of the decade when everything was getting all hip and digitized, people poked fun at me for having bookcases full of real books instead of getting a kindle. Sometimes I get tired of being right all the time lol.
I've been struggling with the idea that getting on chinabook and using their tools against them may be a viable strategy. Evil kid fuckers are running that shit, maybe we should use it towards the righteous cause.
Agreed. Every person reading this ought to stock up on reference books, classics, and history. Stock up on controversial books too. Your bookshelf will be more important going forward than your private armory that most will never actually use.
It isn't that farfetched that Amazon/Ebay/Kindle/public libraries will ban certain books, publishers won't make any new physical copies, edits will be made to digital copies, and archival sites will be removed. Where will you turn to then? Reading a book from a computer file, if you're lucky?
The controversial ones are the best ones for giant nuggets of knowledge. Anything critical of large controlling groups and religions have a lot of good information. People tend to be afraid of those.
God I wish I were an adult making a nice salary. I'd have a nice library and armory yesterday if that were the case. I've always wanted a nice study room.
Anything critical of large organizations including religions from the year 2000 and back should help. People tend to attack them because they have actual good information from which they draw conclusions. Facts don't care about feelings.
I found this one from 1907 on Project Gutenberg. I searched by American History. It is called, "American Leaders and Heroes - A preliminary text-book in United States History"

Buy old history books and preserve them. We should also be able to find old books in the public domain.

You can have both. The printing press and ebook reader are both powerful technologies.
True, username checks out. I will try and use all tools at my disposal for this fight.

Project Gutenberg and the Library of Congress, but digital information is easily taken away...or corrupted. Hard copy is the one safe bet.

Any recommendations of non-critical theory based history books?

Nice find. It's in very small sections, so it's a good primer. Good for homeschooling.
