Freud was disliked because of his heritage, obviously.
I doubt very much that Hitler cared for or had knowledge of his theories, if only in light of that.
My point is that this video is misleading. It tries to portray Nazis as heroes of culture, but banned books based on ethnicity of authors, challenge to ideology or even mention of Jews as human beings. Some of those books considered important pieces of human literary history, and art written by Catholics, which only feature Jewish characters. The very fact that Jewish characters exist is enough for them to want to erase seminal works of literature.
I’m not arguing that Freud is correct,
the point of that comment on biological determinism is that it shows he was not burning books because it is a trans/cultural/identity issue/ in regards to “degenerate culture” like that propaganda clip tries to claim.
The book burnings served to further a genocide.
If they were truly attacking degenerate culture LGBTQ there wouldn’t have been widespread homosexuality among SS members, an interest in the occult, or female sex workers who became famous and very wealthy specifically for performances to political party members, all which are reasonably well documented, and there are images, and testimony given by some of the entertainers.
Funny how people are so quick to look at the Germans, which was a moment in history and we are very much past that, in good or bad.
I made no claims in regard to contemporary German culture, or how they have effectively moved past WW2, and the aftermath. A lot of countries are unable to move past mistakes, or inhumane actions their governments have taken, ie japan, China, turkey, the USA, so in that respect I have no criticism to make about Germany. My problem is only with the claims made in this specific piece of propaganda as untrue, and as a very obvious anti-Semitic dog whistle.
of Mao's revolution, his cleansing and destruction of religious, cultural and historical values and works , the purge of intellectuals, the millions of people killed, the repression of homosexuality as deviant and so on.
Then you can tell us how they are CURRENTLY (not Mao's times) cater for transgender individuals, when they legalised same sex marriage, how free and unrestricted newspaper publications, internet access and social media are.
They must be thrilled Tump unbanned the data collection gem that is Tik Tok, an app they have not allowed to be used in their own country.
Of course, they have their own, "better and improved", CCP endorsed version of it.
Whataboutism. Didn’t claim anywhere mao is good or China is good. I’m not Chinese, I’m not a Maoist. Didn’t claim anywhere that the cultural revolution is somehow acceptable or that the restrictions on freedom of speech are good.
I don’t have tik tok, or think foreign adversarial entities should be allowed to carry on business in the US in the way that tik tok does, and do not support trumps reversal of the ban.
Also not sure what this has to do with proliferation of anti-Semitic propaganda
