    Americans, at least under the current status quo, will never do book burnings. They're too genera savvy for that -- it plays as an obvious Bad Thing to camera.

    But they won't bat an eye at this. This is democracy, as far as they're concerned.

      Somebody posted a video here in the past year of a church-organized book burning event (they were burning textbooks because gay panic or something). The video was someone going there with a bible, walking up to the circle of people, announcing he was going to throw a book full of incest, murder, rape, and genocide into the fire, the crowd cheering, then he confirms it and adds that oh yeah this is a bible, tosses it in, then walks out while continuing to shout at the crowd who are shouting and screaming at him, pursuing him but keeping their distance.

      So anyway, Americans will definitely do book burnings.
