The intersection of (whether real or perceived) Jewishness and having ideas Hitlerists considered dangerous is the common denominator for most authors in the book burning. Not all, Hemmingway was already mentioned, and there were Jewish authors whose works were forbidden, but not publically burned under great fanfare. But the overwhelming majority of the burnings targeted those the nazis found particularly triggering, and that’s usually Jew + something else that sets them off.
Magnus Hirschfeld was smeared as “Germany’s most dangerous Jew” in the nazi propaganda outlets for his gender research and advocacy for legalizing gay sex, Einsteins and Freuds ideas were demonized by the nazis because they both ran counter to the fascist ideology and because they were Jews, Marx or Trotzki served as examples of “Judeo-Bolshevism”, Heinrich Heine was a socialist and personal friend of Marx and Engels, anti-nationalist and of Jewish descend, gentile anti-war writers like Remarque were simply claimed to have been Jews, all because antisemitism was the connective tissue that held fascism together.
In the end, fascism is just an endless, utterly incoherent list of bigottries and grievances, and when you want to connect all of these bigottries and grievances in a way that manages to tiptoe around the actual connection, stabilizing capitalism in crisis by instrumentalizing all insecurities and hatreds of the common chud to forge the most brutal oppressive force possible and crush all dissent, you have to make up a conspiratorial “master bogeyman” who orchestrates all the people that nazis hate.
Historically, this was the Jew. Today, it still is, they just dogwhistle around it. But in the end, whenever they talk about “Globalists” or “gender ideology” or “postmodern neo-marxists”, of “coastal elites” or “BLM-CRT-Antifa” what they are actually saying is “the Learned Elders of Zion.”
Einstein’s first piece of socialist writing was written in exile. “Why Socialism” was written in 1949 and his work with the NAACP was after his works were banned in Germany.
His main political writings as of the time he was condemned as a proponent of “Jewish physics” were anti-anti semitic and opposed the nazis because of their anti semitism and anti “liberal” stances. Albert Einstein during the time of the Weimar republic was a proponent and founding member of the DDP which represented the right wing of the SDP led coalitions.
It got really intense around the mid-late 2010s with shows like Steven Universe, Star Vs. the Forces of Evil, Gumball, Craig of the Creek, etc, with the round-cheeked characters with stubby bodies. The term as far as I know, got popular via the John K blog though the CalArts style at that time that John K hated was more 90s Disney style.
Complaining about CalArts became for me an easy tell that the commentor was conservative, since the complaints really took off as cartoons were becoming more diverse
Initially Heisenberg’s theories were decried as “Jewish Physics” as well, but eventually the Nazis figured out they couldn’t develop a nuclear program without acknowledging the practicality of quantum mechanics.
This is like how the Japanese were declared to be white, or how rules on mischlings did not apply to Hitler’s personal buddies. They were willing to compromise their bigotries when it was politically convenient for Hitler and the leadership of the nazi party personally.
Never forget that right wingers use rules and laws as tools to attack and control others. They don’t use them as a common set of ideas that everybody allows themselves to be bound by to exist in a larger society.
No, you’re correct as far as that any blond-haired blue-eyed 100% pure German dude who is proposing, say, the irreconcilability of class antagonisms would still have been imprisoned or killed if he had any social traction for supporting Judeo-Bolshevist ideals.
He was, but had he been a committed nazi his writing would still be that of a jew and his work would still be “jewish physics”

CalArts is a Soros conspiracy to destroy cartooning
(I’m joking but I would not be surprised to hear people believe this)
i remember hearing people were mad about the “calarts style” being everywhere but i don’t think i’ve seen any of the shows from that period.

Wolfgang Pauli: Using the new quantum model we can demonstrate electrons have spin
Nazis: Spin? Like a DREIDEL?

ok, but had he been 100% aryan his writing would still be that of a socialist…
edit: starting to worry that this is in bad taste, but I was really only intending to argue that you can’t part people out.
That doesn’t even rise to the level of pedantry. His works were censored for being “jewish physics” not because of his political writings.

Einstein was not a socialist at the time his censorship began
