  1. Destruction of pornographic literature, destruction of Red Marxist literature, destruction of literature mocking Germany and it's Christian heritage, destruction of drag bars and underground child trafficking clubs, destruction of Freemasonic temples.

    Seems like a pretty good time, America could use that right about now.

  2. Seems like nazism is an inevitable cycle silencing censoring destroying sounds alot like today so who's the lucky group of minorities to get ethnically cleansed then after we inspire the world to fight us it will happen again somewhere else

  3. What if Adolph Hitler has reincarnated as a Jew? And then what if the Jewish family Hitler has been reincarnated into, lives in a community where Anti-semitism runs high!

  5. Not quite on the same level in terms of the threat posed by it, but the recent "Don't say gay" laws censoring teachings relating to homosexuality, and local school boards blacklisting books came to mind. State officials passing those laws and parents voting to ban books aren't trying to overthrow the government of course, but they're still limiting information in an attempt to manipulate public perception of minority groups. It's a pretty tough line to walk though, because if all censorship was banned then misinformation or straight up lies could run rampant. I feel like something has to be verifiably true to begin with in order to be protected against censorship, otherwise you could just slander someone and destroy their reputation through lies and claim that it's protected speech.

  6. When I find this riots of the 30s I always think when it comes to censorship back then logically teaching children to do horrific stuff to each other in name progression is disgusting and evil. For some odd reason the Germans are considered evil for fighting evil. The Frankfurt school got what it deserved teaching the destruction of natural law and advocating for children who are under the age of consent to be taken advantage of by liberals and the men with echoing names.
