Why do you say "Nazi cultural censorship" when the Nazi's were actually restoring native German culture?

> Jewgle: The phrase "Nazi cultural censorship" is used by historians because the regime forcibly banned, burned, and criminalized thousands of artistic, literary, and scientific works that did not align with their political ideology. While the Nazi party framed their actions as a restoration of native German culture, their methods involved the systematic elimination of intellectual and artistic diversity.

They were justified in their "systematic elimination of intellectual and artistic diversity" because that "intellectual and artistic diversity" didn't belong in Germany and wasn't wanted.

> Jewgle: From a political and legal perspective, the actions of the Weimar Republic and the subsequent Nazi regime represented two fundamentally different concepts of rights, governance, and national identity. The Legal Framework of the Weimar Constitution established Germany as a democratic republic based on constitutional law. Under this framework, German citizens of all backgrounds—including Jewish Germans, political liberals, and modernist artists—had legally protected rights to free expression, property, and citizenship. Because these individuals were legal citizens and native to Germany, their work was a legal component of the nation's public sphere.

Translation: *"Just like the all-African "French" national soccer team, we can say they were German because we gave them passports."*

...

You are wrong to say that they were "native to Germany" -- even if the people may have been native, the ideas the were espousing were not, and therefore foreign to native Germany. You're being dishonest.

> Jewgle: Historians and political scientists view this period through the lens of how ideas develop within a nation, recognizing that German culture has never been static or isolated from the rest of the world.

Translation: *"Whatever. All you goy cattle are the same to us."*

...

If German culture has never been static or isolated from the rest of the world then colonialism wasn't so bad then, because those colonized nations and people were "never static or isolated from the rest of the world".

> Jewgle: The comparison between the internal cultural evolution of a nation and colonialism highlights a major debate in history regarding how cultures interact, specifically the difference between voluntary exchange and forced imposition.

Translation: *"Yeah, you got me there, but I'm not allowed to give Whitey a free pass so I ain't say'n 'nuffin."*
