Will 'Captain Underpants'...

Same. I just don’t get it at all.

 

I'm astounded "Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs" hasn't met the guillotine yet....think of what the Woke Gestapo could milk that one for.

 

Nope what I'm saying is fascists whatever their pretenses otherwise ought to be ignored and no one should lose their job or livelihood because some ass somewhere got their feelings hurt.

 

And who lost their job or livelihood in this case?

 

The publisher pulled captain Underpants that means the writer just lost a crap load of money from future royalties over something called passive racism whatever the hell that is.

 

If you don't know what it is, perhaps you should abstain from commenting about it.

 

???

I haven't ever mentioned it. I don't know what it is. Duh

Lol. Thanks. So it's the new term for SJW. It would be easier for us older folk if they just stuck to the original terms.

 

Hardly the same. The children's book is much worse. No book should be cancelled because self-appointed politicl censors object to it.

 

Moderate rightists use the term also.

If you posted less and read more, you might be able to contribute more to this discussion than confessions of ignorance.

 

It is a cult of the left:

You must understand racism and admit that you cannot understand racism. You must admit to your complicity in racism and pledge to do better knowing that it is impossible to do better. You must be an ally but accept that you will always do your allyship wrong. The Cult Dynamic of Wokeness.

https://newdiscourses.com/2020/06/c...e relative reasonability of the broader faith.

 

Yes, don't hold your breath. The Cult of Wokeness already dominates society. It will only burn out at the woke turn against themselves as in Stalin's purges, the Inquisition and the Cultural Revolution.

 

Lol. Good stuff Pyc. I think I'll read less. Know what I'm sayin? Lmao.

 

Kids books get censored all the time and we want that censorship. Think about how kids aren't allowed to see death on TV, or we have to explain to them that taking illegal drugs/alcohol is bad. When was the last time you saw a kids show where the protagonist wanted to smoke? Businesses make decisions all the time about what goes out to the public and what doesn't. They'll do things like take into account racism when making these decisions. Nothing new.

Wow. I think this just proves my point.

 

That's basically what bothers me. History teaches that before the dumb bastards turn on themselves they kill way to many good people...

 

What point is that. In response to your question I submitted an article describing Wokeness.

I guess your point is that Wokeness is a cult and my article proved it.

 

Or that wokeness doesn't exist, it's just a weird to shame everyday practices we want to encourage. Don't we want companies to promote anti-racism?

 

No we do not want companies to promote the idea that Whites are ineluctably racist and they should feel either guilt or shame.

And least I don't. I don't know about you.

Have you read" White Fragility?You will find I am not exaggerating. Here is a review

I don't know how stopping racist images of Asians is somehow going to make white people feel bad about themselves. Honestly I feel pretty good because I want others to feel confident with their body.

I have not, but I understand the concept fairly well. Why? Is this something you think people in this thread display?

 

This is just a skirmish in a larger war. Wokesters should not control what is published

t
So you do know what wokeism is.

I don't believe white fragility is anything but a dishonest maneuver to make Whites feel guilt and shame.

 

There is no war. It's just people saying "hey, this isn't marketable anymore" so don't sell it anymore. This isn't anything new, this is like one of the oldest tricks in the good troubles book. And no, I don't know what wokeism is. All I see is boycotting which is what we do in capitalist economies.

So I assume you are white because I'm 90% certain you already said you were in some other thread. Are you worried that you will feel guilty and shameful?

 

You can't wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep.

I am worried that wokeism is going to worsen race relations.

 

Or I can't talk to you about an idea if you don't define what it is. I know what it is for me. It's how people are going to protect my civil rights by getting rid of problematic ideas that hurt people. What is 'wokeiness' to you?

Why? Why would saying "oh hey, I'm sorry I didn't realize this hurt, let's get rid of it" would make things worse? Don't you remove thorns that get stuck in you?

 

Are you suggesting that a business owner should be forced to retain a$$holes who shoot their mouths off and embarrass their company? What happened to all that freedom stuff?
