SS: We have all been told about books being burned. Why do they never mention which books were being burned? Is that being obfuscated intentionally?
What parallels can we make with society in the US today?
There are no claims being made here and is purely speculative of historical events.
I’m going to ask that people responding try to avoid emotional sensationalism and try to stay on topic about the specific types of books that were burned.
I had an anarchist tell me they burned the queer-theory books just the other day, in person no less.
They burned anything they thought obscene or degenerate. But it was by their own definition.
I was at the gym this morning and a short middle aged fat woman had a shirt on that said, “Read Banned Books.” She was throwing off a vibe of being a public school teacher who decorates her classroom in rainbow flags and communist propaganda.
So I went up to her and said, “Love your shirt! Mein Kampf is the greatest banned book of all time! But I’m sure you’ve already read it!”
She scowled at me, oblivious to her own hypocrisy. Her whole demeanor deflated right before me as she learned her shirt didn’t have the intended meaning she thought it should have.
Not nearly as many as the catholic church did, presumably
But they only had, approximately, a dozen years to like 1.7K or so
Very sure the PMRC torched a bunch, also

They were burning books that were considered depraved for their time. Mostly remnants from the Weimar Republic. After WW1 people reveled in decadence and hedonism. Cross dressing, rampant drug use, prostitution of all ages. Here’s an article about it. https://historycollection.com/17-reasons-why-germanys-weimar-republic-was-a-party-lovers-paradise/
Once you dig into ww2 shit gets dark
