'Mein Kampf' - Hitler's book returns to German bookshelves

[Tafhan]

Yeah, no. See, there is this thing called puberty that makes every human being curious about icky, nasty sex.

Asexuals exist.

Sort of. being "asexual" is little more than having a really low sex drive.

[Tafhan]

As nasty as some of it gets, there's no evidence that it causes violence. That's ridiculous.

It's also not a reason to ban hentai.

that goes without saying.

The name itself should have given it away (a+sexuality) that it means a lack of sexual attraction to anyone. Were it what you described, then they would just be heterosexual, bisexual, or homosexual.

What a strange sub-thread for a discussion on reissuing Mein Kampf... But, yes. "Low Sex Drive" is not equal to Asexuality; it is merely a lack of libido, possibly a hormonal imbalance, possibly a combo with psychological inhibition. Asexuality, on the other hand, is a complete disinterest in anything relating to sexual response, possibly but not necessarily including a complete revulsion for anything pertaining to intimacy with others, or even with oneself.

<looms ominously> Yes, very strange. Back on topic, please.

So there was this book... It was bad. Then they banned it. Then they unbanned it. It was still bad.
And they all lived happily ever after. The End.

Seriously, couldn't even go a post without breaking Godwin's Law.

[Prussia-Steinbach]

Seriously, couldn't even go a post without breaking Godwin's Law.

The only way to "break" Godwin's Law is to not mention Hitler or the Nazis. Godwin's Law isn't a fallacy or anything of the sort, it's the assertion that the longer a discussion on the internet goes, the more likely it is that Hitler or the Nazis will be mentioned.

Considering this is a thread about a book written by fucking Hitler, I don't think bitching about this is necessary or constructive.

Back in my day we didn't have this Godwin nonsense. We talked about proper historical figures like Napoleon and George Washington. Kids these days... It's definitely not because Hitler wasn't born yet in 1862. It's because we had DECENCY. People nowadays have no sense of decency. Just look how short the skirts are on the women's SS uniforms! You can see their ankles! And to think these people are discussed in polite company...

Can't take a joke?

ah, didn't think so.


anyways...

Freedom of Speech prevails, yay!

[Vashta Nerada]

I find it hilarious that the people who wanted to ban the book are the very same people who protest against banning books. "Oh noes! If the weak-minded people we're coddling read the Mein Kampf, they'll become Nazis! We must start burning the books of the book burners for their own protection!" Just ridiculous. All I can say is let the people read the darn book. They have that freedom to whatever knowledge they want, even if people don't like it. We continue to allow the printing of the Communist Manifesto and Mao's Little Red Book, even though the work of author of the former led to the author of the latter and individuals like him killing more than 100 million people and beyond for an ideology that has never been successful. But hey, the one's against the Mein Kampf are the same people who probaly lean to the left anyway.

[The Rich Port]

Honestly, I never opposed them banning it.

Even though I'm a goddamn Ray Bradbury Anti-Book Censorship Army Sergeant... I made an exception.

Because even we have fucking standards.

But, like I said before, it's their choice.

Sad to say, but people still read it likes it's goddamn genius or something.

Hitler, from what I can tell from the English translation, barely had an understanding of grammatical cohesion, let alone the capability of writing anything worthy of being deemed a "masterpiece" of anything.

Fucking teenagers wrote better than the motherfucker.

You must not be very good at jokes.

Also, some advice: "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt."

Considering the amount of Islamophobia is in Europe now we might as well just invade Germany right now.

A lot of the people who read it like it's genius are just doing it to be edgy. If the book didn't have such a taboo around it, it wouldn't be as edgy and they wouldn't find it so alluring.

Yeah... That's true.

And, really, it's proving they're better than Hitler.

Not afraid of having the book around, unlike he was of damn near anything that criticized him.

Obama calls up Merkel: "We own Berlin, Dresden, and Frankfurt now. Deal with it." *hangs up*
Merkel looks to staffer: "Just Barack and one of his noon prank calls again. Bring me the folder marked 'Ten Steps to Economic Slavery of Your Neighbors'", Klaus."

Besides, if European history from 1870 is any indication, there's no reason to go to Germany. If you wait long enough, Germany will come to you.

As evidenced by this graph which was poorly edited in Microsoft paint by someone with no artistic talent I have solved about 99% of Europe's problems

considering the rape epidemics caused by Syrian Nationals in Sweden and Germany, I think said islamophobia is justified.
