Serious / Re: If you live in a country that banned Mein Kampf

That's where you're wrong. You're free from fascism. That shit has no place in a civilized society that values equality and democracy.
Clearly not, if one book is all it takes for your culture to descend into fascism, so much so that it must be banned. If it's that easy, I think this society's values lie elsewhere.

In fact, I would call the suppression of ideas very un-democratic.
Don't twist things.

Suppression of fascism is not suppression of ideas. And there's no slippery slope effect either. Fascism is a very clear and serious danger to democracy and freedom. If censoring a book written by a madman that promotes fascism is fascism to you, then you're living in some sort of topsy turvy world.
It might try to promote fascism, but censoring it and suppressing the book won't stop idiots from getting their hands on it. It's better to allow that piece of garbage to exist, because it genuinely is as hard to read as a brick and anyone trying to base their belief system off it would seriously struggle to make heads or tails of it.

Neo-Nazi idiots just parrot the shit that their friends and fathers parroted to them, actually trying to extract sense from mein kampf is pretty futile and I would say it's beyond the skill of the average skinhead.

In my opinion, it's better to let people see the evils of the ideas contained in that book for themselves than to tell them it's bad and ban it outright.
The people reading it won't see it as evil.

If you've read about what the Nazis have done and you're interested enough to read the book of psycho numero uno himself, chances are you think they had some good ideas.
Well, I've read it. Or most of it anyway, I got sick of reading a brick and gave up.
Despite my earlier half joke, it is an evil book. It's filled with the kind of shit you see on stormfront nowadays but written in the context of 80-90 years ago.

I've read quite a lot about what the nazis did, if there was an SS officer in the same room as me and I had a gun - I'd shoot the bastard in cold blood.
I was interested to get a look at the psychology behind the lunatic responsible for all that shit, not because I thought that the Nazis needed to kill off some more jews and cripples.

You have to learn from history to avoid the same mistakes being repeated, the problem with stamping out the remainder of the problem is it's harder to study it in the future and make sure it never happens again.
Then read a history book.

Erase it from your mind, don't promote it, don't waste time on it. It's wrong, it's stupid, and it's against everything humanity is supposed to be.

Besides, there's genocide going on right now. There's governments brainwashing and controlling their citizens right now. That book not being banned hasn't stopped anything fm from being repeated.

I have read many.

I in no way promote it, whenever it's brought up I say how shite the book is let alone the abhorrent content. Understanding what you are supposed to watch for in others is important, sure you can try and leave it all up to intuition but there isn't anything wrong with understanding the mind (or trying to) of people who think like that. Finding out what makes them tick is important as it helps you prevent others from falling into the same pitfalls.

And the genocides currently being carried out are not over things mentioned in mein kampf or any other nazi literature. It's over ethnic divisions and power struggles in Africa and the middle east. The Hutus in Rwanda weren't Neo-Nazis, they just wanted to butcher the Tutsis.

True, but the book itself is utter crap.
It reads like a brick and would be better used as paper mache.

But, books are sacred and defiling them is haram >____>
Even if the content is tripe.
Even a book that tells people how to commit murder and get away with it?
Should guns be banned because they can be used as tools for murder?

Such a book would be a self defeating entity.

A book on how to get away with murder would also be a book on how to catch the person trying to get away with murder.
Books also allow a person to think "Hm, let me try this but in a different way", thus making changes that other readers can't keep up with . Checkmate
And then the book itself hasn't really done anything, since the person in question has used their brain to come up with an alternative method to get away with murder.

Just because you can use a book for evil doesn't make the book itself evil, or would you like me to start pointing to certain holy texts that are frequently used to justify atrocities?

Serious / Re: For those of you who resent the Japanese for Pearl Harbor...
« on: December 08, 2014, 03:31:19 PM »
It's incredibly short-sighted to think supplying Japan's war effort would have been good for the U.S. Imperial Japan's expansion throughout the region and alignment with the Axis currently decimating America's European allies was absolutely counter to American prosperity, and it would have been a huge slap in the face to continue war-profiteering from our allies' deaths. What did you think would have happened once Germany steamrolled through Europe and Japan conquered Asia? That Japan would thank them for the steel and oil and go on their merry way?

War logistics and supplying relies on neutrality. So, yes, even if America's allies were getting massacred by weapons made from steel imported from the US, it would still be profitable for America to keep exporting resources to both sides. Horrible? Of course. Profiting off human suffering? Most definitely. Pragmatic? Absolutely.

Japan was never in any way powerful enough to really defeat America. Even if the US had kept supplying them throughout the war and Japan turned on them at the end, it still would never have ended favorably for Japan. Also, the concept of Germany getting past Russia is a laughable one indeed.

So then Germany conquers Europe, Japan conquers Asia, Russia conquers Germany's Europe and Japan sides with them, then both converge on America.

Obviously it would have been profitable to continue selling to Japan, but thankfully FDR had a stronger ethical backbone than a desire for profit. The point still stands that economic sanctions aren't justification for the attack.
I don't disagree with your point as a whole, but the Japanese and Russians allying would be pretty damn unlikely <.<
The russkies were pretty bitter about the 1905 war that they lost to them >.>

proofs still do that to me. I'm not great at them by any means. I figure something like this where I have to learn them myself in order to tell who got it right is the best thing I can do.
It's pretty much all beyond me >_>
