Shouldn't Debian allow documents which describe standards to be non-modifiable? Why should we need the same freedoms as for code?

We have three reasons: such a restriction is unnecessary; it is useless; and it is not true that it would be less appropriate for code than for documentation. First, misrepresentation can be prevented without forbidding anyone to modify the work, by requiring all modified works to not claim that they are the original work or that they were written by the original authors; so, the restriction is unnecessary. Furthermore, a clause in a copyright license would not prevent someone misrepresenting the work or its authors.

For example, I might create a new, original document titled RFC 2821, Simple Mail Transfer Protocol with a distorted description of SMTP, and with this action I would not be contravening the license of the IETF's RFC 2821. The proper defense against this are the various laws dealing with libel, fraud and impersonation. So, such a restriction would be useless.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
