Y'know, there's really only one reason to be coy about whether you agree with Neo-Nazi propaganda.

Straight to the ad hominem attack on taboo thoughts. Transparent. If the books are true what is your problem with them? Not me. Not the other poster. Not a strawman fallacy. What is your issue with the content of actually banned books? Be specific.

Someone named tinfoilhatter replied but that's gone now. Not one to let a response go to waste:

Well. I seem to have triggered something.

> Ah yes, because the only people that have ever spread propaganda are Neo-Nazis

Not something I ever said or implied.

> and we should only ever learn about the sanitized and approved version of history from our Robert Maxwell (Ghislane Maxwell's Mossad agent father / McGraw Hill co-founder) published textbooks.

I find it interesting who just happens to know who else is Jewish, and then feels the need to interject that into utterly irrelevant contexts.

> Never mind that there are two sides to every story, and when it comes to history, only the victors get to tell theirs.

No, I'm pretty sure a lot of losers have been able to have their sides heard. It's just that, well, people lose for a reason, and losers tend to be less popular among normal people. Ranting about subhumans can do that, you know.

> We don't even learn about the 23+ million massacred by the Bolsheviks in school.

I would be interested to know who exactly you call a Bolshevik, but I did get taught the history of the USSR in school, at least, and "One Day In The Life Of Ivan Denisovich" is not a ringing endorsement.

However, nobody was talking about Bolsheviks until you decided to use them as a distraction.

> But yeah - only one reason to consider a different perspective other than the one forced down your throat by the public education system.

I didn't need the public education system to teach me to hate genocidal racists, thank you.
