Okay I'll give you a hint. The bad thing about the nazis burning books wasn't that they were destroying physical copies of books. I'll give you a few keywords intent, selection, political control

    Why be condescending now?

    You already fucked up the point you were making. By all means, insult people's intelligence at the start of the conversation, before you fuck up. Doing it at the same time as fucking up looks bad... but insults after you fuck up looks even worse.
