"The Diary of a Young Girl" attributed to Anne Frank. Excellent study of ballpoint-pen anachronisms and bearing false witness against one's neighbors.

What is it with all this history-erasing lately? And it seems to be happening on all sides of the political spectrum!

Not too long ago, Diary of A Young Girl (Anne Frank) was removed from our national school curriculum as well as some more local war-time texts, and it seems that every vaguely-objectionable author is getting defacto banned from every place a person could reasonably be expected to look for them.

Socialism is being equated with Fascism, literally anything you do or don't do is considered active opression... I know the horseshoe theory iw a bit of a meme, but this isn't even a horseshoe anymore, it's a fucking möbius strip!
