You know how they complained about nazi Germany doing book burning? Yeah they never told you that the Allied powers did book burning of their own. Japanese books from 1944 that talked about certain "no no" subjects got burned by occupying Allied powers. (media.kotakuinaction2.win)

No need to look at Japan. The amount of literature that was burned/destroyed/banned after WW2 in Germany is staggering.

Yes, but what is never mentioned about those book burnings in Openplatz, Germany that is always decried as muh heckin' evil book burnings , is what those books were that were being burned. Look up Magnus Hirschfeld and his research.

He's a precursor to Dr. Johnathon Money, the guy famous for performing a sex change on one of two identical twins, and then watching like a fucking degenerate "documenting" them having sex. IIRC, at least one of those two twins suicided later on.

They both killed themselves because he had them hump each other as part of his failed human experiment that he subsequently falsified the research on.

I'm aware of that. The "nazi book burnings" were also organised by students and they're an absolute nothing burger compared to the "de-nazification" after the war.

"Nothing happened in Germany between 1918-1932. Just one day out of nowhere they did a heckin bigotry."

I bet America also burned books in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya when those countries were occupied as well.

Libya was never occupied by the States. Also I highly doubt that anything of that sort happened in Iraq or Afghanistan. There was no reason for it and there was probably not much worth burning in the first place. Sensitive documents might have been destroyed but nothing more.

What makes you think it didn't happen in Iraq and Afghanistan when they did it to Germany and Japan?

First of all we would know about it. It's impossible to keep something of that scope secret. Second you need a complete military occupation to achieve it. Third unlike WW2 the goal of the Iraq and Afghanistan war was never to utterly destroy the Iraqi and Afghani people and culture.
