#bookburning #censorship #deletinghistory
dev you cant say burning a book is not ok but burning a flag is ok its hypocrisy at its finest
you should be legally allowed to do both. i'm talking about the ideas and mindsets each represents.
@@ShortFatOtaku well i guess yeah but both of these are immoral in same reason if you look at it
@@tefikkaradaban9631 "immoral" no, both are just a pointless performative harmless gesture.
@@tefikkaradaban9631 no because burning the symbol of an idea is not the same thing as the destruction of knowledge and the rejection of reason itself
@@tefikkaradaban9631I'm not sure that's correct. You can burn both to show opposition, but when it comes to a book you can choose not to read a book. Countries however tend to show considerably more agency.
I am reminded of this passage from Fahrenheit 451: “If you don't want a man unhappy politically, don't give him two sides to a question to worry him; give him one. Better yet, give him none. Let him forget there is such a thing as war. If the government is inefficient, top-heavy, and tax-mad, better it be all those than that people worry over it. Peace, Montag. Give the people contests they win by remembering the words to more popular songs or the names of state capitals or how much corn Iowa grew last year. Cram them full of noncombustible data, chock them so damned full of 'facts' they feel stuffed, but absolutely 'brilliant' with information. Then they'll feel they're thinking, they'll get a sense of motion without moving. And they'll be happy, because facts of that sort don't change.”
Whoever looks at Asterix comics and goes: "Ah yes, racism"
Is not right in the head
There are stereotypes everywhere, but that is the comedy. It is all in good fun.
It’s racist against Italians because the romans are the bad guys of course…
The romans were black right?
"I'm burning my copy of The Philosopher's Stone. I can't believe it has to be this way"
Jk Rowling: "oh dear me, allow me to dry my tears with the money you spent on purchasing that copy"
“Flame Purification Ceremony” gives me major flashbacks to George Carlin’s “soft language” stand up. Man must’ve been a prophet.
Truly Orwellian, makes me shiver.
Oh, dat dere iz "hate facts," ya thought criminal.
(In Underpants Gnome voice):
"Step 1: Understand history.
Step 2: Understand human nature.
Step 3: PROPHET!"
@Every Single Average Day Yes and no. The puritanical Christian mindset, and the culture it engendered, was the thing Carlin railed against in his comedy. While it has some parallels to the CRT/ cancel culture we find ourselves fighting today, I think we face a much deadlier beast. Both ideologies claim a moral high ground, but puritan Christianity, at least the version that found itself in power during the 60's-90's, didn't seek to undermine the fundamentals our liberal society. It sought to keep certain minorities disenfranchised (which is clearly at odds with the morals of a liberal society, of course,) but it did not seek to destabilize or restructure society as a whole: ironically, they were convinced they were saving society from becoming destabilized.
Today's radical leftists hate modern liberal society. You ask the true believers, and they think that meritocracy is racist, that certain people shouldn't be allowed to vote, and that there is no saving the American system. They want to replace society as we know it, not just preserve an idealized version of it.
Us moderates had an easy time with the puritans: ultimately, they would never bring themselves to say that free speech is a bad thing, and that meant that enough people could, and did, eventually stand up and say "you're full of shit." It was only a matter of time. But the radical left despises your free speech, and will happily use their power to cancel you and shut down anyone who dares speak up. I just hope enough people are willing to stand up and say "you're full of shit" before its too late.
@@johnyendrey5590 The modern radical however, in contrast to the puritanical Christian, is not held back by any semblance of morality. You're talking about the same group of people who easily equate speech to violence as such a justification for ACTUAL violence. These are people who are completely unfettered and will gladly set peoples houses (or as is often the case) their businesses on fire all while claiming they're in the right for doing it.
How do you honestly fight back against an enemy who will gladly use total war tactics against you with no regard for collateral damage, even if that damage would effect them as well? Resort to the same tactics, and hope there's enough left over to rebuild? The problem with radicals is that no cost is too great for the cause, and we're seeing that now.
I read a book called "Look Who's Back," which is about a certain dictator of Germany coming back to life in 2011 and becoming a celebrity because everyone thinks he's a good impersonator. Said dictator is the protagonist, as well as the narrator.
The first review on Goodreads is a woman giving it a 1-star review, despite never reading the book, and shaming any library that holds it, anyone who requests it at the library, anyone who buys it, and anyone who gives it a positive review. I told her that if that dictator was alive today, he would agree with her; he would say that book is only fit for the pyre.
I've heard good things about that one, didn't it get a movie adaptation awhile back?
Watch the movie - it's pure gold. Also in German, though it's a musical, lovely language.
Almost as good is Martin van Creveld's "Hitler In Hell".
Local natives: "but we don't want you to-"
Lefties: "shhhhhhhh, you're being reconciliated right now"
How can they say she's not indigenous when she identifies as indigenous? That is HER truth and your privilege can't deny it! Canada is so bigoted. Race is a social construct, folx!
Wasn't there a girl that changed her self identity by the hour so she was perpetually offended?
How is this a fad? ._.'
Everyone born in America is indigenous by the Left's standard, since they identify that way...
But the Left only uses those standards very selectively, and only when it suits them...
Don't get fooled by how this happened in a "francophone school"; this cultural nihilism is purely a phenomenon of the anglosphere. The woke uprising is a cancer spreading from the US, the UK, English Canada, Australia, New Zealand. In Quebec we feel a renewed hatred from the rest of Canada, but we know it's not because we speak French. It's because we're still nationalists and we don't hate ourselves and apologize for existing (yet). I've been a federalist for a long time, but now I can't wait for Canada to kick us out, because what's going on isn't funny anymore.
Huwhite people are a world minority yet the only people forced to be ""diverse.""
LOL? Philosophically, all this shit comes from France. It just mutated in the Anglosphere. Nice try, but you ain't escaping blame
@@UtrinqueParatus1349 I don't care where it came from; France is starting to see this BS coming for them just like everyone else, but it's nowhere near as prevalent as in English-speaking countries. The pronouns crap don't even work in Latin-derived languages; they're trying hard but the traction is quite low.
@@lemonadeofconstantmentalto1026 I remember a guild in a MMO years ago would advertise "Latinex ONLY" and I'd joke it's a Kleenex for Latinos ONLY.
But these people have only grown in population, and ego ._.'
I saw a bumper sticker yesterday that said “Political correctness is moral and social suicide.” I nodded, proud of that person despite not knowing them.
For extra immersion be sure to check Pastor Vee's progressive sermon in Canada.

"Culturally diverse literature", but I bet it's all in English
Don't be stupid! Some will be in french, remember it's Canada.
@@daltonbecker4494 You have completely missed the point
@@thetakeover51 Cool your jets, I was just kidding.
@@daltonbecker4494 haha sorry, completely misinterpreted your comment
Should be in Swahili
A real leader would have denounced this "flame purification ceremony" but our leading candidates want to have their cake and eat it too. They want to be leaders, but they are not leaders.
Truly enlightened people don't have to feel threatened by their opposition. If you can't fight for your beliefs honorably, why should we have any reason to honor it ourselves.
"Bad image of Indians" To them anything normative is a "bad image" so the young, attractive Indian girl would technically fall under their definition
Bastards already took the woman off the Land o' Lakes boxes.
Like poor Aunt Jemima. A sweet aunty that makes pancakes is offensive.

I’m not even sure what would constitute a _“good”_ depiction for them.
@@Eirik_Bloodaxe I can tell you what they deem "good".
A landwhale with the taste for blood. Remember that these people always communicate in opposites and frequent places like Twitter or Facebook all day.
Everyone keeps banging on about Brave New World and 1984 when we're actually living in Fahrenheit 451
Why not all three? Maybe we’re living in our own nuanced dystopian hell.
The ride never ends 👐
With a little sprinkle of Idiocracy.
It's all of them, combined.
I'm still holding out hope that this is Starship Troopers and we're about to hit the collapse of democracy. I, for one, welcome our new veteran overlords.
These gender pronoun identity obsessed trans activists reminds me of something in Brave New World. Can’t put my finger on it. I read that book 20 years ago.
There’s is only one reason to burn a book, is if you are freezing to death and have no wood or coal left.
(Then ideally find some shit by Marx to blaze up.)
Unfortunately, if you burned all copies of Marx's books and banned discussion or mention of him, then some progressive down the track will write something similar and think, "hey guys, I've got a new idea, lets try this." Better to burn mainstream "news" papers, there's plenty of copies, and nothing of value will be lost if by accident you burned the last copy. I don't think I can recall the last time a newspaper reported either facts or news of what actually happened.
And they won't even allow that.
They would burn the constitution before they got to Marx's books.
Or Hegel, in fact probably better to torch those.
@@Danger_Noodle_Pliskin - He said burn works of Marx, YOU suggested that also entails banning discussion or mention of him. I'd argue it's even better to print and burn his books for fuel so that his ideology might actually help someone who needs it for once.
Well I’d say it’s okay to get rid of books if you’ve provided an alternative say if you’ve digitised them and have them available on website
Burning Asterix and Tintin? That's a crime.
Tintin is brilliant.
By the time I was a teenager, I'd already gone around the world several times, explored different continents.
The only positive representation of the French In the Anglosphere!!!!!
... That's a paddlin'.
Burning those is a travesty! TinTin and Asterix gave me a window to the world's cultures through an entertaining way. They made me interested in actually studying history and cultures of different places in the world. Not to mention, they ' offend ' everyone. What sad times we live in!
Behold "racist" Phoenix Is raising from ash.
People who burn books have never been the "good guys"
Therein lies the problem with exclusively moral ideology.
Moral busy bodies need to be isekai’d by truck kun
Everything the left is doing mirrors at least one of the "baddies" of the past.
That's why we have to do it, REAL book-burning has never been tried!
@@captainmaim wtf
Several employees cried at the meeting, discussing how Peterson's views have negatively impacted their lives.
"He told me to...to...clean my room! Oh, the abject horror of it all!"
Hail Lobster
Hail Lobster!
I guarantee you, not a single one of those kids read it. They just know that Jordan Peterson = Right, and Right = Bad.
"He told me to take responsibility for my... (sniff) LIFE!" (wracking shudders and bubblering)
@@sixwingedasura3059at least they know that if a = b and b = c then a = c, unless we're talking about socialism then they forget about that
Progressive Book Burnings?
How absolutely backwards and insane. If this were anyone but them doing this, it would denounced as a hate crime.
Progs have always been delusional tyrants; it's why they were unelectable while even a single soul who remembered their original reign of terror a century ago still lived to warn us about them. Perhaps the internet will remember everything they're doing this time will save our descendants from them in another hundred years, but I doubt it.
@@Azraiel213 everyone already forgot about how those idiots destroy towns everywhere they go,the entire far left is worse than a swarm of locusts and the far right abuses people constantly,this is what extremism leads to,blessed are the centrists
@@falco5148 If it weren't for conservatives and Libertarians taking a stand irl, fence sitting altruist centrists would get stomped on by these tyrants. Show some appreciation where it's due
Backwards? That only applies if the moniker "progressive" actually meant progress, but as usual extremists just wear attractive masks/titles/phrases to hide their evil.
Progressives were always Regressive in their ideologies.
Marxism proved itself to be a failure, so the progressives want to keep forcing it on people until it "works".
Marxism is just the State enslaving the people.
We know the Left is fond of slavery...
As much as I love America, Canada and western civilization, I cannot help but be disgusted at how many of you westerners take your own civilization, culture and countries for granted, even to the point of tarnishing and destroying them willingly like this. An entire catalogue of books dating back decades if not a century; a literal store of history and window to the past and all now being destroyed because a few crazy individuals in your society are decrying them? In much of Africa, many historians bemoan how much of the continent lost it's history and culture simply by not having a written language yet you folks here are quick to tear down your own history.........
@@adrenjones9301 Well, now I am glad I am bought Thomas Sowell's books and Jordan Peterson's 12 Rules for Life, among many MANY other books before the burnings escalate. Good news is that I know this current societal state is not permanent.
@@adrenjones9301 Amen, friend. Also, yeah, Fuck China.
Alot of it is hysteria and mental illness believe it or not. Alot of these people are in a delusional paranoid state about racism so literally we have to either dose them, wait for them to die, or secede lol
Speak for yourself. Us true patriots have always fought to protect our country from subversives and decay, but the masses of lemmings have disavowed us as "alt-right" and other boogeyman nonsense perpetuated by the left for decades.
A nation that cannot remember its past has no future, it's all part of the plan.
Everyone is capable of evil, it only takes the correct moral argument to convince them to do it.
I know what you meant, but I laughed so hard at "correct" in that context. 🤣
We also have a collectivist element to our nature, at least to some degree, and obviously some people more than others. If enough people see enough other people doing immoral shit, they're more likely to join in.
@@markzuckergecko621 yeah the most convincing most people need is just that a big enough group is doing it
@@Veros245 I saw this interesting study where 2 actors staged a robbery, with a guy grabbing a woman's purse and running off. And they repeated this in numerous different settings, the more people were in the vicinity, the less likely someone was to intervene. The more people are around, the more we tend to have a "eh, someone else will do it" mentality. I think that's the spine of why major cities are so left leaning, and more rural areas are right leaning. The less people you have around you, the more willing you are to do things yourself. Because nobody else is going to do it for you.
“If only it were all so simple! If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?”
― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Broke: Book burning.
Woke: Flame Purification Ceremony.
Has anyone who was been considered good by history burned books? Don’t we consider those people the bad guys? There was a whole book centered around the immorality of burning books called Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury.
Also bonus on the JP book thing: it turns out the woman with the tweets wasn’t interviewing an employee, but rather a personal friend.
Here in Minnesota, aka Canada minor, the Minneapolis school district removed Huckleberry Finn and To Kill a Mockingbird under "anti-racist" policy. Anyone who's actually read the books knows the books themselves are already anti-racist.
Trying to keep a black man free from a false charge? Thats fuckin racist.
Not Huckleberry Finn! That book is fucking amazing!
Huckleberry Finn and To Kill A Mockingbird are anti-political correctness.
By the definition of anti-racist that the Marcuseians (Woke) use, they are racist by definition. The anti-racist thing would be to swing the ning.
You don't wanna get too anti racist tho. You need racism to benefit from fighting racism and in order to make sure your slaves vote left wing
In the Midwest everyone and their cousin clamed to have a Cherokee in the family. It just that most families were smart enough to realize this was likely an invention to make their ancestry more exciting.
reminds me of how some folks in china say that they have ancestry of old chinese emperors, some people take it serious but most just joke about it
That and the Cherokee interbred with white people until they just looked white. So much so that every other tribal group mocks them for it for "turning their back on their people"
"Those who refuse to learn from history are doomed to repeat it."
I´d agree, but then there are the people who want to repeat the history, because they are convinced thatz they´d make it work...like that Antifa...person who wanted to put 6 million people in camps.
Its rare for iconoclasts to get a positive reading in history, people should learn from that.
I think you probably should have mentioned the burning of hobbe's leviathan at oxford university followed by the works of john milton. For oxford university, an old institution that claims to have been founded by a man whose works were ordered to be burnt by pope honorius III, to have taken part in book burnings is a very dark mark that haunts the discussion of book censorship in the university to this day.
I saw recently Paradise Lost was removed from libraries again. My poor ancestor can't catch a break.
Jack Brock is partially BASED because he correctly predicted that Harry Potter would destroy several youngster lives, but not for the reasons he imagined...
I got a big laugh out of AA calling you "fat dev" on his anti-tomboy stream the other day. He more or less embodies what you said in this video, he has flat out stated "of course we will burn books if we gain power." It's a real shame that he is spiraling so hard
If you think he's spiraling, then you didn't pay attention. He has subscribed to elite theory for a long, long time. He's not pluralistic. He doesn't think democracy is good. To reference a joke he made recently, why in the flying fuck would he allow ork and troll literature in Gondor? If he was made absolute dictator today, what he would do is the same as what he would do if he was made one a decade ago. This isn't a spiral.
@@Alex_Fahey I don't recall him ever going so far as to silence dissent and discussions before this though.
AA?
@@anguishedcarpet Academic Agent
@@Alex_Fahey While I agree he has always had faint overtones of this kind of behavior, his recent string of content has cranked it up to 11. It honestly reminds me of the way jim spiraled near the end, except instead of going after "spergs" AA's army of edgy 14 year olds are going after "degenerate trucks"
The people burning books have never been the "good guys". Ever.
Who thought calling it a "flame purification ceremony" would make it sound less sinister?
I just collected all the Asterix Books. Impressively intellectual with cutting humor.
I'll be damned if anyone took those books from the world.
Asterix and Obelix was my childhood.
They taught me to read.
They kick massive buttix.

I'm Rwandan and i honestly feel so sorry for all you sensible white people. It's probably hard being villified for daring to have a history and unique culture just cause of your skin color
Burning Asterix books? Oh, that will get you a special place in Hell.

Authoritarians: I love the young people.
Because of this, I think that humanity will never become a spare faring race (type 1 Civ). We're just cycles of monkeys destroying their own work every 200 years or so.

Thank God for the internet. If it weren't for the internet, books in short supply could genuinely be lost forever.
"These books are an abomination to God and to me".
incredible.
I do love that Canadians must also virtue signal while burning books. “Yes we’re burning books, but we purchased carbon credits & are recycling the ashes”. The weird obsession with being PC is so weird & artificial.
Gotta love that article: Burning books isn't the problem, it's that the person burning them doesn't have the right ancestry!
You can't kill an idea.
You can't burn an idea.
The idea of freedom, individuality is stronger than tyranny, censorship.
Human creativity will always prevail in the long run.
Not if the whole world ends up like this. North America used to be that beacon of hope, and now it's dim. Ever heard of the dark era? That's what we're entering. I feel it's going to be like this for quite some time before we have a global enema of this ideological sewage.
Killing an idea is very, very difficult.
But it is not impossible. Burn every book, destroy every server, kill every man - that it what it takes to kill an idea.
This possibility, however faint, is why they bother trying.
There's an episode of the Waltons that became my favorite. But is still relevant now. Especially with the book burnings going on. John boy stops a book burning before it started. The books about to be burned was mein kampf and several German printed books. John boy grabs a book, hands it to one of the neighbors who is German and asks her to read it first in German then in English. The look of everyone's face of why does this feel familiar. Turns out that book, was a German print of the Bible. And the people gathered was appalled. Not because they were going to burn a Bible, but that they were going to do something stupid cause those German printed books had nothing to do with the Nazi regime. At the end of the episode John boy was given the books that were unclaimed including mein kampf to be preserved so people can debate.
The original progressive movement didn't know it was evil, I am not surprised at all that this one is just as bad and just as ignorant.
"He who destroys a good book kills reason itself."

Good old Dev, reminding me of Harry Potter book burnings and making me feel old again. History doesn't repeat but it sure does rhyme.
Calling everyone nazis while burning books...
To quote Bender: Now that is irony!
6:10 I remember! I was 10 in Nigeria when Harry Potter began getting popular and one of the main reasons I never got into it was because my mom (a Pentecostal Christian) was against it due to the whole "magic, satanic" nonsense. Now, as an adult, I am actually glad I didn't get into it. I wanted to try the books but the way Rowling kept retconning her own work to push "progressive" trash or outright undermine the previous works, the toxic nature of the fandom (seriously, so many of the SJW just seem to populate it and attack anyone who isn't like them, even Rowling who they now attack viciously).
Book burning. It's book burning. Can't they just say what it is?
Book burning never ends well.
A tearful townhall? Sounds like a struggle session.
"Hey! I've seen this one, it's a classic!"
Lmao, tune in next week, when people are being persecuted and executed for alleged crimes, without a trial!
1:27 Also, while the actual culture of first nations isn't accurate in that movie, the tribe (as people) are portrayed as normal, reasonable people that simply have a diferent culture than Asterix's. It's basically The Simpson's Apu all over again.
8:10 I agree with that serial killer dude:
people need to stop saying "HAVE your cake and EAT IT too." you've got the order fuckin backwards. you have a cake then subsequently you eat it. the saying is "EAT your cake and HAVE IT too." you've already eaten your cake, but you can't also still have it. order of words matter, and putting "have" before "eat" makes the shite proverb sound like a standard behaviour rather than hypocrisy and greed.
this has been your youtube algorithm feeding ramblings. have a good day
The problem with people claiming they are native is that they don't speak the language, they don't live the culture, they ain't native all days of the week.
They only say they native when the cameras are on.
You don't get to cash in on your ancestory when you ain't about that life.
And on the matter of book burnings, it's stupid.
Lol Canadian Elizabeth Warren 🤣
Correct me if I am wrong but didn't a bunch of people in brown shirts and 2 little lighting bolts on there collars do the same
I like your voice. It sounds naturally happy
Asterix was always positive with different cultures, Indians were respected as honest good people
Whoda thunk that those chanting 'Nazi' for the last few years turns out to be actual Nazis
The books were burned to plant trees, and the trees are cut down to make books....
*Its the CIIIIIIIRCLE OF LIIIIIIIIIIIFE, and it moves us all.*
Never throughout history has the “good guys” ever been the book burners.
"Death of the Author" is what people say when reality doesn't fit their headcanon
It also doesn't mean what people think it means, SFO didn't actually give a correct description of it.
Glad to hear your feeling better! Sadly our country is only getting more sickening in its insane policies
When did burning books EVER turned out to be a good thing?!
I'm willing to bet these people will advocate for the cancelation of the art of war because its actually a good book on leadership
Hope those new books are aryan enough now.
Glad you're recovered Dev.
I have never been more ashamed to be Canadian in my life
Finally. You are the first UA-camr I’ve seen who has called out how authoritarian AAs stance is, or how contemptuous he sounded to anyone not on his side.
The introduction of fire and language were arguably the 2 most influential catalysts in development of the human brain and forming bedrock for civilization. Makes it all the more tragic to see “civilized” humans attempt to destroy one with the other
I found it hilarious when the leftists who once upon a time laughed at the right for banning Potter became the very thing they hated :D I still have my Potter books proudly on my shelf and will gladly read them whenever I like without shame :D Also, it's good to see humanity never learns anything and we're just doomed to keep repeating our stupid mistakes over and over again.
Asterix comics are more compelling stories than the entirety of contemporary literature combined. The people burning Asterix, dr Seuss and hell, even Harry Potter are jealous they could never create anything that captures the imagination like those books did.

The last part dedicated to Vee is genius.
Don't forget the religious right burning music records in the satanic panic.
What a Brave New World
You know you're on the wrong side of history when ya start burning books.
I’m glad to see you back and I’m glad you’re feeling better!
1:47 Canadian Pocahontas. Now I've seen it all...
The beginning reminds me that I do have Cherokee ancestry (it’s very small but it’s still there). I don’t care since I’m not trying to use it to further career. I also tend to not like talking about it much for various reasons.
I’m happy to hear you’re feeling better, Dev. Thanks for the great work.
LOVE YOU!
So we've looped around and gone back to book burning, HAVE WE LEARNED NOTHING FROM HISTORY!!!
It's because History is not taught. We are shown events and fights between the ' good guys ' and the ' bad guys '. We are never taught about patterns (socio-economic, cultural, religious, ideological, etc.). We are never taught to look at motivations of historical figures and how they arrived at their conclusions.
1984 was just a book. Fahrenheit 451 was just a book. NOW they are a reality. STOP THE BUS, I WANT OFF THIS DAMN TIMELINE PLEASE.
People who burn books are in the most need of reading them instead.
Hey dev! Just wanna say thank you for making these videos for us.
Honestly ive binged watched almost all of them this past month and its really given me a perspective on things. Thanks, stay safe!
thank you!
Another nice outlook on the topic, Dev. Have you ever done a video on Eurocentrism? Feels like these days it's an idea that grows further and further with most of the european people I know acting as if they were better than westerners (and still consuming their products and culture) while ignoring their own blatant flaws.
It’s so sad, I grew up with a girl in my community who had to read Harry Potter in secret and couldn’t even watch Rugrats. She ended up turning away from her mom and cutting her out of her life because she was so controlling with her religious values.
I can see this happening with kids, once they get to burning books they care about, like manga for being to sexual or something.
Nice video man, I remember at a time that I didn't like your content but I can't full remember why. I'm guessing it's because I was religious and pretty close minded but honestly once I left Christianity and had a lot of problems with my grandfather I used your videos, old styxhexenhammer666 videos and theramintrees videos to help me stay sane. You really showed me a more nuance and liberal way to view the world and broke me free from religious indoctrination. I realised that atheism is not much different but I'm glad there's someone similar to me that will point it out and will be honest and critical about their views of the world even if it means social exiled from certain friends and people. Never thought prior that I'd agree with a Canadian despite being a northern Minnesotan lol
Every child should read Asterix and Tintin
These are the same people that go on and on about "educate yourself" or whatever, without realizing that an educated person would have the mental capacity to discern and argue against the perceived morality of a book without the need to ban or censor a book.
I would agree with this; but after years of arguing some people just don't have the energy for it anymore. Almost like there's no point.
There is a great difference in all those burning. If I burn MY book, it was my book. If that oafish pastor bought some books and burned them, the same. But, if somebody burns books from public or state library, he or she should follow them into the flames, as was the good old punishment for arsonists.
Holy cow, I didn't know we're that deep in shit already, "people who are burning books, will next be burning people"
I was expecting a video today. I feel like I conjured this video. Cool.
I suck at writing comments. Good work Dev
"Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it. Those refuse to learn from history... well they are simply doomed."
Not my quote, just not sure where i heard it.
the funniest is that they burned Tintin in America which if anyone who read it know , Hergé in it was criticising the treatment of natives by the us (they are chased from their land after an american find oil on their land and a factory is build instead) and yet because they are represented with feathers on their head the book gotta go ignoring totally any message etc
To anyone whose mind remembers Fahrenheit 451 when they speak of book burning, remember: The government was put in charge of burning books... by the people themselves.
A book is only the vessel through which one's word is passed on. Once it reaches another person, it will be with them until they die.
Another wonderful video dev!
Thank you so much 😃
