Firstly, where the f**k did you find hypocrisy in my post? Are blind or can you just not read? Roflmao.
Secondly: It is an extreme symbolic gesture, to show dissent or disagreement. Not neccesarily that they should be silenced.If you made a big deal of it being to silence it could be interpreted as a "symbolic" gesture to "silence" someone. However it is not accomplishing it's goal, and you look the fool if you do this.
I made a typo in my last statement which might have made it sound aggressive: "Not denyong others the freedom to read you shit." it's supposed to be "read your shit". It was not an insult directed at you.
Taking them from the library would be theft, and illegal, and should be punished. Buying them all from a bookstore is called stupidity.... Funding your enemy is a great successful strategy, truly tremendous... If you are attempting to buy "all" of them, that could maybe in a certain context be perceived as "silencing", however it accomplishes nothing of the sort and you end up looking like a clueless potato, now with less money.
The only way it could be interpreted as silencing in my eyes is if you actually silenced it. It just shows strong dissent and disagreement, and snowflakes who think otherwise might benefit from cooling down. Ridiculing the ones who attempt to burn text they disagree with is a great way to retort, but getting all serious is just sad.
