I’ve read the first chapters of Mein Kampf, because i was very curious why the book is forbidden knowledge. It was actually quite easy to download it. I did not like the book at all, but the search to get it was quite exciting. Same with the weirdly Hackers Cookbook. Same with a lot of other so-called dangerous knowledge. I have also seen awful things on the internet that made me physically sick. I have also seen hacks that were so easy i wondered why big huge companies had not thought of that. Point is that restricting will not stop curious kids to search for it and find it. It all taught me to also accept my kids as extremely curious human beings who may not align with your personal points of view and that can sometimes be ok as long as you keep communicating with each other respectfully. Tell them why you think Mein Kampf is bad. Show them things like experiments on MythBusters if they have questions.
- necovek 2y agoSeemed simple to me: one of the first results for "Mein Kampf full text" gave me https://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200601h.html https://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200601h.html But yeah, I don't want to be expressly forbidding disagreeable content to my kids, I want them to learn to choose content that is worthwhile themselves.
- lurking_swe 2y agooh i don’t think any of it should be restricted personally. I was just pointing out that IF we are going to humor that argument at all, i’d rather restrict more dangerous ideas and things. But it’s a slippery slope!
