  Banning books, like banning movies, is a great way to admit publicly that your position is so weak you can’t tolerate any dissent. Let the power of your ideals stand on their own.

    You think Lebanon’s position against being invaded by Zionists and having their innocent civilians and children bombed to death is weak because they banned a movie?

      Their position against being invaded is weak because they spent twenty years failing to keep Hezbollah from attacking Israel which is why they got invaded.

        Except that Hezbollah formed due to the invasion of Israel in Lebanon in 1982 but I get it, you liberals have a memory of a goldfish.

    Except in this case, the thing being banned has no message they’re trying to repress. They’re targeting a person who’s in it.

      Snow White promotes the insidious falsehood that apples are poison

    I need you to understand that Mein Kampf is a banned book and so you are currently claiming the case against literal NSDAP Nazism is so weak it can’t tolerate dissent.

    You need to either do some self crit and disentangle yourself from liberal idealism or get the fuck out of here.

      You know what’s funny? I came into this thread expecting exactly this take, it being lemm.ee, I just was NOT expecting it to be from a lemmy.ml account lol.

      What? Mein Kampf is not banned almost anywhere in the world barring few exceptions

      source
    • TheThrillOfTime@lemmy.ml ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Mein Kampf actually isn’t banned in the US or most of the world. It’s banned in Germany for obvious reasons.

      • ProfessorOwl_PhD@hexbear.net ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        Why are you repeating what I just told you as if you’re contradicting me? Mein Kampf is banned, and not because of any weakness in the case against it.

    So a blanket ban of any books that acknowledge the existence of LGBTQ+ people and banning a single Disney movie for having a war criminal lead are exactly the same thing to you? You really can’t tell the difference?

        she is one of the strongest supporters of the Wehrmacht and their ongoing genocide, even after enthusiastically serving in it

        also I’ve heard she’s an awful actor (not that I would know, I don’t watch capeshit). She’s bombed box offices across the planet

        Do you think Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal? What about Joe Biden or Donald Trump?

    Yeah sure just debate Nazis in the fReE mArKeTpLaCe Of IdEaS! I’m gonna end it there because what I have to say is much less civil.

    How about we don’t let Disney try to profit off a movie starring a Zionist in a country that just got invaded by the Zionist Entity?

    • TheThrillOfTime@lemmy.ml ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Yeah I guess ban and boycott mean different things to me, but you’re right. Functionally this is a boycott and I support boycotting this movie. Fair point.

    Upvoting for the edit. It’s rare to see people doing self crit and changing their position after having it explained to them why their initial position is wrong. I wish I saw it more often. rat-salute

    Let the power of your ideals stand on their own.

    “Fascism will die in the marketplace of ideas” has been conclusively disproven.

    This is not because fascism is a strong idea, it’s because the marketplace of ideas (like most markets) ranges from “doesn’t work very well” to “rigged.”

    source

    • TheThrillOfTime@lemmy.ml ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Lol fascism got into power because there is a revolutionary mood in the air and the capitalists have spent a century banning the idea of socialism at every turn. I feel very confident that socialism would have become popular if there wasn’t an active effort to stymie it’s adoption by the masses.

      So yes the marketplace of ideas is rigged.
