> [scientific racism] You're the one who pivoted the conversation in that direction. The whole article is about a professor being forced to politicize and limit his research, presumably because it would be used to justify wrong-think. To restate more generally though, the censoring side needs to prove the 'reading viewpoints -> copying actions' pipeline. Would a plainly written description of Hitler's beliefs create nazis of those who read it or is it the oration and the cult tactics that do that? If a nazi quotes a book in support of their views does that mean the book would cause someone without those views to become a nazi? Sun Tzu counsels to know your enemy, how would this work if they were censored?
