There is no legitimate purpose for burning something other people symbolically recognize as important to their culture. Burning a cross on a black persons front lawn is an incitement of violence. Burning qu’ran books is part of a long tradition of incitement to religious violence.
Banning speech is literally the only way to fight fascism. The propagandists of the Third Reich literally wrote about how liberal free speech laws are the perfect conditions for fascism to develop and spread.
Seriously, stop trying to reconcile your violent fantasies with your desire for revolutionary liberation. Understand the use of violence as a necessity, not something we wish upon others. We should not be trying to create conditions for violent christo-fascists to invite violence against marginalized people. This isn’t that hard.
Paper is holy in my religion, not burning it is offensive to me and could drive me to religious violence, are you responsible for my actions because you aren’t burning paper? To be clear burning a cross on someone else’s property is a crime, biting one on your own property or even public property is not only legal but a first amendment protected act, perhaps a shitty one but still. Once you let the government decide which speech is ok you start running down the hill of fascism. Sure it may be a ban on something you agree with today but the next administration might have a more sinister use for it and you’ve given them the path to do it.
No you fight fascism with policy and munitions, there had never once been a successfully overthrown fascist government with words alone, not once.
Please explain how I’m displaying “violent fantasies” if anything I’m calling both sides ignorant and foolish and little like you short-sighted and historically ignorant but all appearances. I didn’t want to resort to ad hominem but I’m certainly willing to return the favor homie.

Who determines legitimate purpose? You?
