Suddenly you care about book burning? Without any context as to who that is actually burning books?

Klam just pulled a random book-burning photo out of his files and lobbed it in there.

Last night, Mt. Juliet pastor and pro-Trump conspiracy theorist Greg Locke decided to turn it up a notch by organizing an old-fashioned book burning. The books included millennial staples like Harry Potter and Twilight — hits of the early Aughts that were targeted by Christian book burnings back in the day.

Does AnTiFa burn books? I thought they focused on burning things like flags, cars, courthouses and police officers.

Are MAGAts currently storming the Capitol?

Yes, AnTiFa burned things. They also broke windows, tore down monuments, threw bottles of piss, committed assault and battery and killed people.

Is there a difference between burning a book that makes you feel uncomfortable vs tearing down a historical monument that makes you feel uncomfortable?

1). Did the RNC characterize Jan. 6 as "normal political discourse?

2). Thanks… I wasn’t aware.

3). Depends and interesting question. :lol: . Teddy Roosevelt? I disagree but understand it. Books about Wizards? Silly. Books about Nazi’s? Probably important. As they say…those who are capable of burning books are also capable of doing the same to humans.

But hey! Who am I to judge? They’re not my books or statues.

They didn't tear down Teddy's statue, they moved it like thieves in the night.

They tore down Abe Lincoln's statue in Portland and the city had to hide the elk status lest some Stalinists tear it down. The wingnuts on the left aren't moving statues, they're tearing them down in an attempt to destroy them in anger and ignorance (you know kind of like those idiots burning books).

Should we be tearing down statues of Washington, Jefferson, Roosevelt, etc. or should we consier their sins in the context of their times? Should we overlook or worse, shamelessly ignore history and reframe their contributions in order to push an agenda that we are an inherently racist society whose only redemption is Marxism?

:clap: We definitely need to consider them in the context of their time and remember that they were mere mortals. There's a huge difference between honoring Washington vs Lee, for instance. Removing TRs statue like a thief in the night was not only cowardly but also a disgrace for everything that man has done for our country WHICH we still benefit today. But understanding these people would require time, energy, and reading skills - skills which are lacking in the Woke Brigade.

As I implied, I personally don’t think any of them need to come down. None of them harm me or anyone I know. It would be a better use of time to use them as a catalyst for discussing real history more in depth.

I also implied and agree with Ibanez that I consider each on its own merits and shortcomings. But that’s just me and I don’t trust either side to make fair and honest appraisals. It’s just an unfortunate part of our current culture.

Your hyper-fixation on Marx, notwithstanding…did the RNC just endorse Jan 6th as normal political discourse?

Both extremes are cunty.

That doesn’t take away from the delicious irony of attributing cancel culture solely to the left…while books are being burned and capital stormings are being endorsed. Which is what this entire thread has become. :nod:

The left castigates and demonizes the Washingtons and Jeffersons of the world by looking at their “sins” through today’s moral lense, while simultaneously giving the sins of Marxism/Communism (literally tens if not hundreds of millions of dead bodies) a complete pass when selling it as the only redemption for today’s ills.
