"Likewise, in the famous 'warning signs of fascism' poster that hangs in the U.S. Holocaust Museum, one of the signs is 'disdain for intellectuals and the arts'. We might condense that down to 'disdain for books'. It’s a short step from not reading books yourself to perceiving them as a threat, precisely because they encourage people to look deeper into issues, challenge conventional ideas, and empathize with people unlike themselves."
