Why ban a book that is demonstrably incorrect?

No, it means there's nothing valuable there, or that it contains falsehoods that can lead people astray.

Reminder that this event is very misrepresented. The state did not order the burning of books. A student group decided to do it voluntarily, for fun, as a one off. Later on, they did it again and had some officials come to watch.

Clearly trying to downplay it. They did it because they wanted to purge “anti-Gemran” thought. It’s irrelevant if it wasn’t literally orchestrated by the Nazi party itself when they permitted it and attended the ceremonies. Clearly it was in accordance with the Nazi spirit.

>> No.14907363

What a shallow understanding of politics. Politics is about power, not about who has the most logically sound arguments. It’s irrelevant whether or not you can refute Mein Kampf. if other people who read it become convinced by it that’s going to cause the Neo nazi movement to become more powerful. I’m not even making a judgement on this decision, I’m just saying it’s stupid to chalk it up to “what you can refute me bro? XD”

I have read Mein Kampf, its an interesting read, but long, boring and with a lot of irrelevant stuff for modern politics, like how are we going to feed Germany etc.

Why does the book get banned? Because our society is controlled by insane ideological fundamentalists, who have turned Nazism into some kind of ultimate evil.

Any person who sees Nazism as something else put another stage or movement in history alongside Marxism, Catholicism, Humanism or Buddhism is clinically insane.

The Nazi period produced some interesting writers and art, the science developed is certainly positive. Nazi Germany should be seen in a completely neutral way.

The Third German Empire is gone, Nazism is not a thriving ideology, its history, people should view it as such.

My enlightened response ends here.

I don't agree with banning books, but the logic is that the book promotes dangerous modes of thinking.
Of course any book banning is going to claim that the book in question is false as well, but of course that can never be taken at face value, and because it is banned, it can no longer be demonstrated via logical argument.

that was just a few over-zealous students, sweetie. book-burning is more of a Judeo-Western tactic:
>To re-educate Germany, the Allies last week adopted a typically Nazi device. The four-power Coordinating Committee decided to reduce to pulp all "undemocratic, militaristic and Nazi" literature, museum and library material, newspapers, films and war memorials. Tombstones were excepted.
>Here is how the Allies went about the suppression of ideas:
>Into Berlin's press camp breezed a pretty young ex-WAC introduced as Vivian Cox, an "expert" attached to the Military Directorate. Sitting on a desk and dangling her long, nylon-clad legs, Miss Cox answered indignant newsmen's questions in a pleasant Southern drawl. How would "militaristic" be defined, asked one reporter. Replied Miss Cox: "It's the way the Germans have of
waging war.". How would "democratic" be defined? Said Miss Cox: "Everything American people think and call democratic."
>Was the order different in principle from Nazi book burnings? No, not in Miss Cox's opinion.
>Just 13 years ago, the Nazis had confiscated and burned millions of "unGerman" books. The war had destroyed hundreds of thousands more.
>Now the Allied order would eliminate millions more. Pessimists could see the day approaching when Germans would have nothing left to read except perhaps some of Grimm's lighter fairy tales. Cracked one British officer to a U.S. colleague: "You people might yet be able to convert the Germans to your comics. . . ."
>The measure found its defenders. Said one U.S. official: "At least the Germans won't be able to read Clausewitz these long summer nights." Said a Russian: "If more of them were out ploughing fields instead of reading, there would be more food."
>But most observers condemned the order as a piece of unenforceable foolishness which would only increase interest in the verboten books, and martyrize Germany's nationalistic spirit.

Look Jewish anon I know your going through hard times. When rabbi cut half of your dick off he reduced your skin sensation at the tip of your dick thus making it harder for you to have healthy sexual relationship in the long run and because of that you had to succumb to unhealthy sexual practices such as prostate stimulation or complete anal obliteration and then you look at gentiles with their intact skin and get super salty because they lead a healthy sexual life and that infuriates you and that’s why you had to become the subversive poisonous kike leech with the mindset of

full "big lie" passage (from Hitler's book which the Jews have just banned from Amazon):
>In this they [the Jews] proceeded on the sound principle that the magnitude of a lie always contains a certain factor of credibility, since the great masses of the people in the very bottom of their hearts tend to be corrupted rather than consciously and purposely evil, and that, therefore, in view of the primitive simplicity of their minds, they more easily fall victim to a big lie than to a little one, since they themselves lie in little things, but would be ashamed of lies that were too big. Such a falsehood will never enter their heads, and they will not be able to believe in the possibility of such monstrous effrontery and infamous misrepresentation in others.…
