@dagda @jn Well, he can't see me, I think.

> Mein Kampf is a disgusting text but it is historically relevant

Yeah; it was put there as a joke, but it is worth noting that historical revisionists make all sorts of claims that Hitler never hated Jews and never intended to get rid of them, etc., and they bank on people never having read Mein Kampf. If people don't know who Hitler was, then Hitler can be anyone that the situation requires him to have been: censoring history make it possible. This is why repressive regimes censor history.

Aside from that, once you burn one book, any book, you're a book-burner. Some societies can survive only when information is censored: the easiest way to avoid living in such a society is to prevent censorship.

> A lot of former Bell labs people are working on 9Front, you do understand that community efforts have different social norms than corporate ones?

This is my issue with these people: they want the entire internet to have an HR department.

> If you seriously think that neo national socialists are working on 9Front you are completely out of your fucking mind

There was that guy that was harping on 9front for using a picture of Aushwitz to represent Ruby on Rails (which is funny and also a perfect representation of Rails; I don't care what anyone says). The guy turned out to work for a defense contractor and got kicked out of the Nix conference and cancelled and whatnot. A friend of mine at a different conference was talking about this and I said to him that the guy was over-zealos probably for the same reason Ice Cube said "Don't let it be a black and a white one"; I forget the phrase I used but he got the joke immediately. People that are overly eager to cancel other people are often loud about it because they are paranoid that they will be cancelled, too.
