There are books out there about how beating babies with canes is good parenting you just have to make sure you don't leave marks others could see. So those get my full purge vote, let's keep some copies for archival and research purposes but let the rest burn. (I'm not even sure how it's legal to sell these)[edit: Now two people mentioned the same title, but I sadly report it's a whole genre, and I meant every single one of them]

There are books with other blatant misinformation urging people to be abusive. I also won't defend those.

Hate speech and incitement with call to genocide / murder / rape / war crimes etc. (Again, I'm not sure how it's legal)

I'm very against censorship in general, especially when it comes to art. Even books I'd throw on a bonfire with my own hands if it's about a few copies as a symbol or protest, I'd not want them banned. But I just can't find an excuse for some nonfiction works.

To Train up a Child by the pearls would be one of them. I agree.

I agree. To train up a child is a bad one. I confiscated these from my parents so they wouldn't fall into naive hands again. I keep them for use in therapy to unlearn all the programming. It's basically Pavlov's kids enforced with violence starting at 6 months. They detail how to "break a child's will" as early as possible to mold them how you wish. They belong in a museum so we don't forget the outcomes of several adopted children being murdered by over zealous parents following this depravity. Just a few copies then burn the rest.

Yes it's called an exception. Eg I'm very much against causing blunt force trauma, but I support self defense even if it causes blunt force trauma.

I'm very anti censorship in general, and I won't be ashamed of not extending that general rule to abuse guides and incitement to harm people when it comes to more nuanced specifics. You may want to defend books that give detailed instructions on how to hit a literal crawling baby so CPS can't prove it because you are more anti censorship than me, but ... I won't want to compete.

Right, because you're not anti-censorship. You're only anti-censorship for things you find agreeable.

Man I wish the list of things I don't find agreeable was this short. Life would be so much easier.

Was literally composing a comment about To Train Up a Child. It’s criminal that book is still available to the general public. The only hands that should be touching it are child development specialists, therapists, and medical professionals.
