it's a remake of gal gadot and it has disney in it, it's absolutely the best idea to ban it

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.

Edit: ok I'm going to leave this up here because I'm a masochist, but ok I get it. I'm with you guys. Boycott Gal Godot. Ban is functionally a boycott. In the US, this movie would never get banned, but I would 100% boycott it. I didn't fully think this through and I agree with most of you guys.

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.

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

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.
