But lets see the Positive side: Now the Nazis wont have to burn thousands of books, saving tons of co2 in their Plan to take over the world with propaganda. So, yay for the envoirment I guess

I'd also point towards alternative reading apps and hardware and drop everything related to Amazon.

Honest question, how is this different from the left doing the same? Take this for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roald_Dahl_revision_controversy

As an outsider, it seems the USA is currently in a culture war, and neither side minds burning & changing the books they deem offensive?

I'm all for the Trump hate, what's happening there is insane, but the American left wing being bothered by books being changed seems pretty hypocritical seeing recent events....

Have you, as a foreigner, been caught up by the American political-polarization bug^tm^!? Here are a few warning signs that you may be affected.

Do you find yourself often injecting "left-wing" or "right-wing" into titles?
Do you have a perceived notion that anything negative being said must involve a certain political party?
Do you feel the need to bring Trump up in a post that has nothing to do with him?
Do you find yourself in the comments blaming "sides" without having read the article or watched the video?
Have you found yourself demanding answers or change that's addressed in the post? (he literally brings up Dahl as his first example)

If you suspect that you or a loved one suffer from this syndrome, please turn off the devices and go outside.

I'm glad I've already pulled my audible library in to audibookshelf, I didn't have many ebooks so didn't bother with them. I'm moving to librofm this month I think.
