A girl once saw me wearing a Fahrenheit 451 pin badge and asked if it was a communist symbol (in her defense she was sitting quite a bit away and had never heard of the book so it just looked like a red, orange and yellow symbol to her with a number on it) so now thats my favourite communist symbol

This made me look up Bradbury, and found this gem lol:

In a 1994 interview, Bradbury cited political correctness as an allegory for the censorship in the book, calling it "the real enemy these days" and labelling it as "thought control and freedom of speech control."
