Its not necessary to ignore nazi’s
to be able to criticise burning of any books. The objection to book burning isn’t simply “nazis did this, therefore anyone doing it is a nazi”; the point is that burning books is an authoritarian act whereby a person or group decides for everyone else what ideas they are not allowed to be exposed to. The purpose is to rid the world of the content contained within. So if it succeeded in ridding the world of the content within, if I said “what did those books actually say?”, I’d by definition have to take it on trust as to what was actually said, deferring to those who didn’t want me to know what was actually said, rather than working out for myself whether it was abhorrent.

I just think it's cute that they think it's 90 year old tintins that turn kids racist, rather than their parents
wouldnt have been a fuss if they'd just binned them, just some tone-deaf attempt to win some virtue signalling brownie points. Or are brownie points racist? And without irony the "pc gone mad" sites are the first to get outraged by the trangressive symbolism
