nazis r gay lol

probably the only way to make mein kampf look like a good book. if there's nothing else, it must be the best.

>>8650374
That never happened. That picture is a forgery. Delete this thread.

>>8650408
hm, good theory!

>>8650374
To purge the zeitgeist of ideologies poisonous to their particular brand of national socialism.
Obviously.

This is the truth

It was necessary to temporarily persecute dissidents in order to have the peace and order necessary to be able to stand up against the armies of the world so that they could replace the global banking system with their own system. Also they thought communism played into the Jews hands so they really didn't like that sort of literature. Also communists were dangerous. They killed people.

>>8650374
To save us from the commies.

Take the redpill the Nazis did the right thing it was to ensure the future of the white race, you've been taught in school that Nazi were bad but in reality hitler was BASED and really imagine what could've been for the white race now we're being overrun and there's no refuge, even gays now allowed and men are becoming women according to leftists this is insane and must be stopped, where did rationality and logic go, hitler had the right idea unfortunately the allies were controlled and wanted no part because the people in power want to eradicate whiteness, masculinity, as capitalism

It's a little more than just a theory.

>>8650374
Because Johan Grün's classic "Suche nach danzig" was corrupting the youth.

>>8650430
You're not a nazi, you're jsut trying to make fun of them

To make themselves look bad. Nazis were actually anti-Fascist, anti-Illuminati and the whole thing was a ruse to stop the legitimate fascist NWO from springing into the future for hundreds of years. Thanks, Hitler.

>>8650433
hm, good theory!

>>8650430
What's the endgame in eradicating whiteness, masculinity, and capitalism? To become the feudal Barron of all the brown Tboys?

I get that stealing book from others and destroying them is bad but what exactly makes the act of destroying books bad?

>>8650452
The smoke isn't good for the environment. Lots of CO2 emissions.

>>8650374
They were attempting to destroy the perception of Jewish superiority - it's not easy to build a case for the degeneracy of a race that has a long history of excellence in the arts, literature, science, etc.

freedom of speech

a lot of the books they burned were used to discredit and dismiss right wing ideas so they burned them to give everyone an equal playing field

>>8650464
This has to be bait. I've heard stories from my grand parents about Jews like you so I know that people like you exist but you have to be fake.

>>8650452
Burning books implies wrongdoing. You want to hide something, rewrite the record, prevent the free flow of information, destroy all opposing views, or so other nefarious purpose. It's never looked at as a good thing in a democratic society (I realize the nazis weren't democratic). It is offensive to human intelligence and anti-humanistic. Its done when leaders don't trust their people. It's what you do when you want an intellectually captive population. Communists do it too.

>>8650433
...A GAME THEORY!!

>>8650501
So like that recent Dyn-Attack?

Their propaganda minister was rather small minded. He could only produce spectacle that worked on people who already were believers. It would usually fail and indeed backfire when trying to impress outsiders.

So this whole time...

>>8650501
Those are some nice socially constructed presumptions you got over there. You clearly have no idea why they burned books. Go back to the drawing board and try to come up with 3 justified reasons to ever burn a book. Those reasons can be just as true as your other guesses, but you're too prejudiced to think rationally.

>>8650374
They had to keep warm somehow since they did not burn any Jews.

>>8650541
>I'd really like to engage your argument, that's something I really am mentally capable of doing, trust me (please), and honestly I'd love nothing more than to reply to the points you made and demonstrate why I think differently, but unfortunately you are trapped in a vague and invisible mental framework that only I am privy to, so I can't. It's such a disappointment because I really really wanted to make an intelligent argument, but I guess I just can't now, ugh. This is such a bummer for me, as I am a person who is definitely rational and good at arguing.

>haha i hate nazies XDDD they killed trillions and millons of jew wow so evil!!!!
>>>/mu/

>>8650631
My argument is that there were thousands of reasons for them to burn books and all of those reasons can be just as true as any other, because they burned a lot of books and all books were burned for different reasons. We don't know what books they burned and how influential those books were and how dangerous the people who read them were.

Your prejudice makes you think that all reasons must've been bad somehow

Thanks for the (You)!

I attended an actual book burning with huge barrels of books in 1985.

I'm horrified remembering it.

At least tell us where it happened

>>8650448
Women spend 70% of the money in a society. If you can make all the people in a society feminine and impulsive (whites are the least impulsive race) then you create a race of passive consumers.

This isn't even a conspiracy, Hillary has openly said in leaked e-mails that she wants the western world to be an open borders market for this exact reason.

>>8650795
Could you make out which ones they were?

because they were Nazis.

they were burning books that questioned authority, the law, or Germany in any way. Which is ironic because being racist today is the new "rebellious" culture.

>>8650430
That's one long sentence.

>>8651008
Not really, only have to get to the third word to realise it won't make sense.

Because part of the Nazi's policy was try to undo the jewish/communist subversion that they believed had caused Germany's defeat in 1918 and contributed to the shitty conditions they had under the Weimar Republic. What better way to do away with ideas than to ban and destroy all literature that contained them?

>>8650815
Sacramento. It was a radical Christian group that my dad belonged to.

>>8650881
Yes. It was disturbing when they discovered you actually have to tear up the books and throw them in to make them burn properly...
It was all kinds of books, but I mostly recall my dad's enormous theology collection. And my Narnia books.
Pretty much the idea was that they were cursed or had demons attached or something.

>>8650811
Not the anon who was at the book burning.

>>8651045
I hate to be the #NotAllChristians guy but you know that burning theology books is pretty far away from what the Bible teaches?

>>8651135
Oh yes, I do know that.

This was a pretty radical time in American Christianity, though. I knew other people who had participated in book burnings.

Just thinking of all those pages blowing around... ugh.

>>8651135
And in the cities of Manasseh, Ephraim, and Simeon, and as far as Naphtali, in their ruins all around, he broke down the altars and beat the Asherim and the images into powder and cut down all the incense altars throughout all the land of Israel. Then he returned to Jerusalem.
-- 2 Chronicles 34:6-7

I don't think the bible has very much to say about preserving culture and literature.

They banned all of Kafkas books . Fuck the nazis

>>8651155
Be fond of the fact that those books burnt that day are still with us. They weren't originals- they aren't years of memories lost in ash.

I understand the act protrudes and 'cuts' deeper but I can't say much more to comfort you, anon.

>>8651166
>Allowing pagans to freely worship false gods

You are a fucking nigger.

I don't know. Why do liberals burn books?

1. Idols of a god that children were sacrificed to are not "culture". Destroying idols saved lives.
2. You're talking about the king of Judah who had power over land that belonged to God. Idols didn't belong in Israel.
3. The New Testament churches relied on the preservation of literature. Christianity was illegal in Rome for some time, so early Christians were obviously against destroying anything. The fact that we have more manuscripts of the New Testament than any other work of antiquity is because of unregulated literature.

>>8651313
Stop trying to justify your baseless claims. The bible doesn't advocate preserving literature.

1. That is culture whether you like it or not and your impossible to substantiate remarks about lives saved is meaningless.
2. Not even worth arguing with.
3.
>The fact that we have more manuscripts of the New Testament than any other work of antiquity is because of unregulated literature.
The fact that we have so many palimpsest where another pointless copy of biblical literature obliterates rare ancient manuscripts is some kind of proof of christian literature's worth?

Christianity is just as destructive to literature as any other movement

>>8651383
Bookburning anon here... I have to say that I think my father's group WAS following the letter of the law as far as the Bible goes, however it is NOT the common interpretation among Christians.

>>8651517
Although, pointed out, erasing other cultures IS a common (and accepted) thread, generally I believe that burning books is not... Correct me if I am wrong.

>>8651383
>Stop trying to justify your baseless claims.
I haven't made any claims, the burden of proof is on you to prove that the Bible teaches or condones the destruction of literature. You used an example that didn't have anything to do with literature and you were only able to sneak it in by saying "culture and literature". You are the one who needs to justify claims, and the only baseless claims are yours.
>The bible doesn't advocate preserving literature.
I didn't say that. I said "burning theology books is pretty far away from what the Bible teaches", and it is. If people started burning Arius' writings, they would've been condemned. The early church didn't burn literature, it responded to it. Just like during the Reformation, censorship and persecution prevented Christians from teaching and communicating.

>1. That is culture whether you like it or not and your impossible to substantiate remarks about lives saved is meaningless.
So the Jews should have just lived with it? What was wrong with the ruler of the country destroying foreign idols?
>2. Not even worth arguing with.
It is convenient to ignore context, but just because you personally don't believe that Israel was owned by God doesn't mean you can disregard the historical context and nuance of what happened in 2 Chronicles. We're talking about what the Bible teaches here, and 2 Chronicles doesn't teach "Americans should burn non-Christian literature". It teaches that the ruler of Judah (not America), in a time where God had a relationship with the ruler (which no longer happens) and God's people, who were receiving the revelation of God (which has since ended) introduced foreign idols (not books) which caused violence. There are so many nuances that you miss out on when you use your own worldview and read it into the text to draw conclusions.
>The fact that we have so many palimpsest where another pointless copy of biblical literature obliterates rare ancient manuscripts is some kind of proof of christian literature's worth?
Manuscripts can kill each other? What are you even talking about?

>>8651596
>I didn't say that. I said "burning theology books is pretty far away from what the Bible teaches", and it is. If people started burning Arius' writings, they would've been condemned.
Whereas they'd be praised for burning those of Giordano Bruno, despite their covering similar topics - the key thing was to agree with the position of the majority, otherwise your works were deemed "heretical" and thus fair game.

>>8650374
Because they were idiots.

https://thonyc.wordpress.com/2014/03/17/cartoons-and-fables-how-cosmos-got-the-story-of-bruno-wrong/

Just putting this here. The Giordano Bruno myth has to be debunked once and for all.

>>8650438
Yeah. Most of what they did was to make fascism cool bad. For example Hitler became a vegetarian, probably to make fascists look like pussies.

>>8650479
Yeah, tell him about degenerate quantum physics!

I have a serious question. What's the appeal of fascism for /lit/? Even a rose-tinted views of it don't seem like something that would benefit book nerds who are into postmodern fiction.

Females and foreign elements being put in their place is worth a lot.

Ancient Israelites are one of the few ancient tribes that prized the written word.
