The worst part is that RUclips doesn't even censor the correct things, they censor history and educational videos. 💀

Yes and as everyone knows information on national socialists is always transparent and factual thanks to our comerade historians
@@alphaomega938 is this sarcasm? I hope so lol.
It’s ironic because this video in itself is misinformation about censorship. Don’t want to let people know the Germans burned the same books that influence the left today

"No, my dear child. That's what the censorship bureau is for!"
As a Polish man, that has lived in the States for most of his life... take it from me... Sniffy is a fascist. They are cookin up something and it isn't going to be good for regular ppl.
Reminds of the old Soviet joke that's basically the same but with either Gorbachev or Stalin
Ironic considering that Poland was a Dictatorship during that time too lol

All this time I never asked "which books were burned?" No wonder they never told us.
I remember thinking about this when I heard of the "flame purification" of thousands of books in Quebec last year.
It was carried out by a political student institution which got permission to do from the government and even lied about who they were associated with or what they were burning.
Wasn’t that in ontario?

Before the Nazis got completely murderous in the late 30’s during a particularly severe winter storm a popular German theatre comedian walked onto stage and gave the Roman salute for many minutes, the audience were looking around at each other baffled by his upright arm then eventually he shouted “the snow it is this high”. He was later arrested.
What do you mean by "completely murderous"?

Remember kids, Hitler was a socialist. Went to funerals of socialist leaders (including friends of Marx himself), stated that the major difference between his socialism and Marxist socialism was that his was race based, and utterly destroyed the German economy through spending and social programs.
To be fair... which side is mostly enforcing the censorship?
@@derek978 I'm a centrist so I'm not on anyone's side, but I'd argue the right. The right is trying to censor important moments in America's past like slavery and civil rights movements, while with the left they don't censor history as often, at least to my knowledge. They do censor people on platforms, but the right does that too but very rarely, doesn't make it right either way, however they're both sucky in the censoring people aspect.
@@BroDgamer1 Cencoring history? Can you give examples where the right tried to? And when it comes to censorship, the left definitely takes the award. Almost everyone by default would identify to be left leaning simply because how the left is portrayed being empathic, tolerable of minorities, allies of LGBT and so on. Of course people would want to be on the empathic side. Although they are not so tolerable to people who question their beliefs. We've seen far too many examples of the left becoming so very bothered by opposing sides speaking on ANY plateform they see them on. They have tried to shut down protests, meetings, rallies and so on. The left also have a very tight grip on the media and social media so of course people who identify being right leaning are usually the minority on those platforms as most are banned and or suspended for mild things that are considered controversial. Overall today the left is in almost complete control when it comes to censorship. Almost to the point of authoritarianism.

I just want to point out one thing seen in these comments; each "side" of the modern political divide is complaining about others doing this to them. Divide and conquer is real, people. Not so long ago, a decade or so now, the people of the world started to point fingers at the real troublemakers in all societies, and suddenly we're all pitted towards each other over issues that could be worked out otherwise. Just a thought, anyways. Enjoy your day.
This is why the only correct philosophy is misanthropy.
Yeah, it was the Occupy Wallstreet movement when we very nearly toppled the people who caused the 2008 recession. But then they started pumping the media full of divisive nonsense so we're stuck bickering with eachother endlessly.
And who would those real troublemakers be in your opinion?

A good improvement advice from a German fan: Please write down every German word you try to spell because the pronounciation makes it hard to understand even as a native speaker and the subtitles wont help. But a huge respect for trying to spell something in such a language at all so oftenly. Dont give up!
What are you on about? Write them down but subtitles don't help? How is writing them down going to help then? It's the same thing.
@@thirdgen377 Im talking about the auto titles - they dont react quite well if you speak in two different languages.
Also with "writing down" I meant to visually write them in the animations (maybe on a logo or a piece of paper).

Fortunately we all learned from this and censorship never happened again. ....until around 2015 or so, when "wrongspeak" became a thing, and points of view that didn't reinforce the "right side of history" were silenced. But hey, this is RUclips, what are the chances that social media would ever censo
RUclips is allied to create its own policy.
That's not censorship by the government. That's censorship on private property (RUclips is private property). Private property rights are king in America, and what people choosing what's allowed on or with their private property is very American.
It's sort of like what happens in your house or in your car. As the owner of the property, you are totally within your rights to kick people out if you object to the things they say.
funny how people like you always stand against exactly what the Nazis did, such as the LGBTQ and racial equality they burned, and that's what gets you banned in the first place
@@SecondLifeTravels1
With the amount of indirect help youtube, and google gets from congress (whom is bought off by corporations like them), the vertical monopoly they run, and the amount of control they have over the marketplace by deplatforming competition on occasion, as well as enforcing political agendas at times is a little different than kicking people out of my house.

Helen Keller was badass, that letter she wrote to those German students must have surely stuck in their minds after the war had ended and they realized that the person who is deaf and blind could see more clearly then they did when they burned her books.
There is a theory about that claims Helen Keller was a fraud, manipulated by her family and caretaker to push ideals and opinions.
@Silverknight171 It took her entire 12 years to write this, she couldn't see the typing machine.
@Silverknight171 she helped create brail I believe, which is the stuff that blind people feel and they feel like letters. And yes she could write, from a quick Google search it said she would get help from someone who would translate what I'm assuming was sign language (the article was vague) to the helper who would write it down on paper.
Looks like what the universities and colleges are doing now.

Are y’all seriously trying to portray Weimar germany as a good period of time??
It was definitely ahead of its time
It was: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Twenties
While Weimar Germany was not a good time period for Germany, compared to its successor, it most certainly was.
There's literally nothing mentioned here that Weimar was a good period of Germany though. Plus they made a video stating how Weimar's glory days wasn't really that glorious.
Chilling history great content simple history! Have y’all heard of fahrenheit 451? The book and movie?
Literally 1994 by orson welles
This is such an interesting moment in history! So what kind of books were they burning, exactly?
It’s sad that this seems to be happening again.
No seems about it. This IS happening. And it's happening to cheers and applause.
@@joshuapinkley8562 Watching the far right group in the US burning books, and American right wing politicians even advocate for it. It’s amazing how it’s not just close to happening, it literally is. There is a war on knowledge and truth raging
Yea it is a sad. Republicans in the US are burning books right and left. Then claim Twitter is "censoring" people who want to overthrow their government because Cheetolini didn't win...
No it’s not, get off the right wing conspiracy channels already
@@ramenbomberdeluxe4958 You really going to argue that the left/media hasn’t gone full steam into censorship? Look at the Biden laptop lol, and all the people who were banned for talking about vaxx side effects, now it’s acknowledged by the media.
"Where they burn books, they would also ultimately burn peopole." That aged well 💀
What app do you use to make this animations??
The quality tho its improved a lot there is a lot more flexibility in the animation than the straight animation that was earlier . They really took censoring to a next level
Twitter in a Nutshell
Simple history, You should only discuss your sponsorship in these places in your videos: At the beginning, after the intro, or at the end of the video. Anywhere else is an interruption, which is completely unacceptable!
Have you tried shutting up lol
That a joke, right? (not trying to sound mean btw)
Nobody asked for your opinion
@@robertmeehan5248 have you tried not to reply.
Bro it was like 20 seconds just tap the right of the screen a few times 💀
Anyone know the name of the music used in the beginning of the video? Also great video!
Makes a video on censorship 70 odd years ago, while having to censor own video.
Such a shame people really don’t ever change
58 seconds ago. Interested to see how this Simple History video goes. Thanks for your awesome content!
WHAT WAS IN THE BOOKS, HUH?
Things they disagreed with

@@Nolant. you don’t know
@@TheDangerZone86 you don’t either
Did anyone else remember the scene in The Last Crusader where Indy and his dad were in Berlin and witnessed book burnings like the ones in the video? That scene gave me the chills, especially when Indy came face-to-face with Hitler himself
Why did that sophomoric scene give you goosebumps?
@@JEJAK5396 Well, if Hitler came right up into my face with his supporters and armed guards everywhere, I’d be pretty terrified-wouldn’t you?
@Esoteric Schizochad Wish I knew
@Esoteric Schizochad Well, it's a part of California, so I'd say the United States. But you're looking for the answer Something Something Jews Something Something we're all doomed.
