You are judged by the company you keep. If you choose to associate yourself with
book burners (OP rephrased: "I'm afraid to join the book burners, so I'm doing this to show my symbolic support for them") then--
guess what?-- you are gonna be associated with
book burners.
Which book is being burned is a red herring. These are
book burners. Anyone with any love and respect for learning and for books should feel a guttural utter contempt for
book burners. I don't say "since I didn't get to gas any Jews, will it be okay if I fart on a copy of
Night? Hahaha!"
(Yes, I went there. I Godwined.)
