   I don't care what society thinks I have my own moral compass that is partly my own and partly shaped by society. I do my best to shape society to my truth and don't care what "the majority" or "the minority" th

   This happened too many times in history to even name. I could sum some recent examples if you want. Do you want that?

   They banned the sale of these books at other places?

   Yes, I am implying that a typical bookstore shouldn't have Mein Kampf for sale. And as a matter of fact, I think a typical bookstore doesn't have it. Are you implying that they should have it? I am suggesting that Dr. Seuss is co

   You sound like an old minister in the sixties. So afraid your life and traditions will change. "It's good that people are waking up" and "If enough people push back against this craziness it would stop". But the fac

   I am not making a point I am asking why he adds the "minority" remark in passing. I think this is not very relevant. But adding such a remark in passing tells me that the OP does think it is important. This triggers me into invest

   Semantics. The real question is: does it matter that it is a minority that "finds gay marriage utterly repugnant"? Because I think it DOESN'T matter. It could have been said by a minority or a majority, you are the one that i

    Is Mein Kampf sold as a children's book? I meant it in the context of children's books. Would you think "Marquis de Sade" would be a good book to sell as a children's book?

    I am not saying it is. I wasn't aware that ebay still sold Mein Kampf, which I don't think is necessarily a bad thing. I read Mein Kampf it's really not that special. But I meant selling Mein Kampf as children's books. A

    This. I wouldn't even call it sport. What ebay does is sport: it's pretty inconsequential, but many people are mad about it. If the government would do it, it would be the opposite: very consequential, but probably not a lot of pe

    Nobody banned the sale of these books. The only argument any of the people who are crying their eyes out could make here is: we need open source decentralized bookselling to ensure that people who don't care about the bad feelings peop

    I don't see a government censoring this book. Is it illegal to have this book? Should I now force barnes and noble to sell my radical insurrectionist anarchist zines? They are gagging my right to free speech!

    Haven't seen a burned witch. I have seen people who have killed minorities because these minorities "might start burning witches and thereby destroy western free speech and civilisation".

    Or, and this might be something to consider: this restructuring of of culture into groups of "good and bad culture" is something that happens each generation. Like the hippies against the old ideals, the 80 kids/punkers agai

    I have never understood why people add sentences like: "probably a minority" to their arguments. This is something that weakens your stand. Let me explain: If a minority (nerds/D&D-players,etc) gets bullied in school. Is

    Show me a case of "cancel culture" and I will show you a case where the "cancelled" person benefitted in popularity on the right wing side. The people that really do get cancelled, you don't hear from them. The exam

    @rayiner: what a weird thing to say. Are you saying that all foods are equal, that the way you eat doesn't affect your health, thinking and environment in any substantial way?

    So, let me get this right: the only way you are allowed to critique the system is to make yourself irrelevant by becoming a techno-luddite, turning your back to society, disconnecting and disappear into the woods to live of the grid and sel

    I think it's mostly CCP strategy to control as much cryptospace as possible, be it via exchanges or miners. I believe china is in the game of using any method to undermine the western hegemony in the world. This is not even controversi

    @ratww: people don't like different accounts for a very good reason: it costs a lot more money to obtain the same value.
