The woke left snowflakes get to decide what you read, how you think and who you vote for.

Time to take them down a few notches.

The only way to stop companies from going down the woke trail is to vote with your wallet.
amazon, disney, warner brothers, google etc etc. Stop buying from them, stop watching their movies and stop using them.
Until they lose millions they'll continue to pull this shit!

^^^^^

This is a good thought, but how to you avoid these companies when they collectively control 90% of online information?


Even if you do manage to kill all ties with these companies they still control the backend of most of the infrastructure that you use, even if it is not labeled as such.

You can read whatever you want to read. You cannot force a private company to publish something that they do not want to publish. Write and publish your own books. Start your own social media company. Quit calling for the military to overthrow the government and you can still sell pillows. Conservatives are all for private enterprise until it effects them.

The corporations that are making these changes are doing it for money. If they thought they could make money and still have Uncle Ben's rice, or the racially insensitive Dr. Seuss books, they would do it. They know who their clientele is, and are making the capitalistic changes to survive. They know that old white men aren't their market.

Meanwhile, the Davos group announces new climate lock downs & the "end of physical contact." We're going to win this fight against globalism because we don't have any other choice. This is survival!

'And my mixed offspring or any AA. shouldn't have to browse through title likes The Homo & The Negro , White Like Me or White Supremacy Guide when browsing Amazon.'

That's a dumb argument.
Are you really sheltering your offspring so much that they can't/won't be able to handle anything other than their own opinions, likes or dislikes? So much so that they're so easily offended that just by reading the title of a book will set them off and drive them over a cliff? Seriously???
If you or they don't want to read books like the titles you mentioned than there's a simple answer ... DON'T read them!

You're essentially raising a 'snow flake' who's going to have a hard time coping with the real world if they can't deal with a simple thing like a book title. What are they going to do when they encounter other people's opinions, different tastes in music, books, movies or art. They'll be just like the other idiot gen zer's & millennials who can't cope with anything today.

But if I choose to read Mein Kampf, The Turner Diaries or The Anarchists Cookbook it's none of your damn business and who are you, or anybody else for that matter, to tell me I can't or where I should be able to get those books?

BTW Dr. Suess and his wife, his real name was Theodor Geisel, were AMAZING people. They were HUGE philanthropists, to the point that his wife made sure to donate all their money to various organizations and charities before she died. She did this WITH her children's blessing. They were HUGE advocates for children and children's issues and gave heavily to children's hospitals across the country.
Those are the people that 'cancel culture' have turned their sights on ... THIS time.

I’m still looking for OPs outraged post regarding the so called christian baker who refused to bake a wedding cake for a gay couple.

For some reason, I can’t seem to find it....

I totally agree that people need to grow up and not be offended by book titles or subject matter when they have the choice to turn away.

What I do have a problem with is the mandates in K-12 programs on non-science manufactured topics on gender studies and the gross distortion of history introduced by the 1619 project. The topic is steaming heap of racist BS being drilled into young minds.

And yet there are people on that side of education claiming that it's the god fearing Christians that need to be "deprogrammed"

dude the gay couple cake thing is fucking dumb...why is it pertinent to this thread?

btw...the commission lost in the gay cake thing

the reality is why would someone that is getting married WANT someone to create a masterpiece cake for them, when their heart is not in it due to their religious beliefs. i woulda said thanks...no thanks and took MY big gay dollars to another artist...maybe one that specialized in beautiful gay love

there was no problems with buying anything that was not one of a kind/made to order ART in the store. anything on the shelf or for the masses was fair game for the big gay bucks

hyder...who the fuck appointed you the keeper of all thoughts, beliefs and ideas.

Just like the typical liberal.....if you don't agree with them, you are not entitled to your thoughts and beliefs.

The party of tolerance, acceptance and unity is so far from either of those it is not even funny anymore.

They will tolerate you and accept you if you believe as they believe. And you can unite, but it has to be on their terms.

Ah yes, the free market that allows one company to control almost 50% of the backend websites use to host on. (AWS)

The free market that allows 6 corporations to collectively control 90% of online information.


The free market that was so hilariously exposed when major stock trading platforms tried to stop trading on a stock because it was hurting their billionaire masters.



Free market my ass.

It looks like the Dr. Seuss Foundation has been making a killing since the announcement of changing 6 books. Genius!
