I just came acrossNazi Propaganda and Censorship, which mentions this incident from three years before the Nazis took power, when they were acting purely as private citizens who, inXKCD's terms, simply didn't want to hear "bullshit" from "assholes" and therefore "showed them the door": DECEMBER 5, 1930 JOSEPH GOEBBELS DISRUPTS PREMIERE OF FILM In Berlin, Joseph Goebbels, one of Adolf Hitler’s
