Nazis had to start somewhere.

Yes, I see the difference between different flavors of stupidity.

But I percieve human stupidity as a fifth elemental force. And disasters caused by it as sort of natural disasters.

And while I can see the obvious difference between flames consuming someone's house and a peacefully burning candle, I am aware of the connection between them and I can make up a scenario of how one can potentially lead to the other.

>I can make up a scenario

Thanks, I'm aware that, in situations related to school curricula, most people need to make up absurd strawmen in order to argue that something is happening that isn't (e.g. removing pornography from the school library inevitably leads to book burnings in the parking lot after the high school football game). In your example you'd be the one in favor of banning candles because you fundamentally don't trust people to handle things themselves in a reasonable way, according to their own interests and preferences.

I don't need to make up any scenarios of slippery slope. Book banning is by itself wrong in any shape or form. It's a manifestation of the same flavor of stupidity that makes people succumb to authocratic and theocratic ideas.

Exactly. And as we've established, no book is being banned here.

The only thing we established is that you ascribe way more meaning than necessary to the word ban when it's next to a word book. Which makes you opposed to using it to describe what occured.

Book burning was a critical communal activity that the Nazi party used to consolidate power. Although initially limited to Marxist and communist writings all of the famous Berlin book burning photos we have from Germany during that time were from a single event. It was both early and one of the largest book burning events sponsored by the Nazi party:

The destruction of the personal library of the first German clinic to offer gender reassignment surgery and gender affirming therapy all the way back in 1930.

You may not have been aware of the parallels to the rise of the nazi party and the situation here in America, but it is a VERY apt analogy and correct reference to make.
