Would you attend a good ol fashion book burnin?

Just like in the olden times. Maybe your great relatives took part in one just before ethnically cleansing their fellow man out of hate and ignorance! ;) :(

"In the video, I am taking a flame thrower to cardboard boxes representing what I am going to do to the leftist policies and RINO corruption of the Jeff City swamp," Eigel wrote, referring to the capital city of Missouri. "But let's be clear, you bring those woke pornographic books to Missouri schools to try to brainwash our kids, and I'll burn those too — on the front lawn of the governor's mansion."

Yeah sounds like knee slappin fun! I love bbqs!

Uhh no! I abhor such activities!

Depends on what books they are burning

Book banning is ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS a BAD IDEA. It is such a BAD look, & never ever EVER has the intended effect. You can’t erase ideas. It’s so medieval & gives me such a chill. Makes me think humanity is doing a ‘few steps back’ when you see such a sad dispiriting spectacle.

Worth noting that one of the first Nazi book burnings was a doctor's research books about queer people.

Yup they were targets too. a lot of people forget that

[GOLDFISH_smile]

To be fair a lot of people were just never told that. As you see what happens when they try to teach anything related to queer people... it's no surprise many think "that stuff didn't even exist 50 years ago!"

Well the far right love to make sure they are never taught about it either.
