Re: Remove fortune quotes attributed to or providing admiration of Adolf Hitler [pr bin/52735]



I very strongly object to against anything appeasing any SJW or PC trolls, and I'm against removing those quotes.

History needs to be remembered, and learnt from. Facts need to be told and faced. It is a great threat to our modern society that certain groups of people today are so intent on silencing dissent or unconfortable voices. Certain that trend to remove free speach and towards totalitarian society is much bigger present danger, than quoting these long dead people.

At the risk of not being politically correct, I agree.

The world seems intent on not remembering all history and even
changing parts of it to suit today's sensibilities. Which seems
dangerous to me. "All of it" (history) is "how we got here" and should
be learned from.

I'm not necessarily against removing stuff that is offensive to more
than a few people. But if there is value in remembering it to put it
into modern context, then we should think about it a bit.
