*** OFFICIAL *** Cancel Culture and Corporate Wokeness Thread

[limitles]

eBay now disallows sale of the banned Dr. Seuss books, because those books violate the "offensive content" policy!

I'm not joking!

Here's an article about it, and this was also reported by the Wall Street Journal and Los Angeles Times: https://www.cbr.com/dr-seuss-banned-...delisted-ebay/

In the meantime, you can still buy copies of Mein Kampf and the white supremacist novel The Turner Diaries.

No cancel culture here, guys. Just CAPITALISM, according to duped and gimmick.

I get the 1984 fear. But let's compare that runaway scenario with today's
Capitalism. Unbridled capitalism has brought us, meaning the everyday person, to the brink.
Major numbers live under the foot, to be dramatic, of your need/wants. None of it is necessary .
If anything your new iPhone or off ramp are a negative to the world you inhabit.

Capitalism fixes everything. It's hands off. Dateline Texas. Not used to the cold, poor babies.
Same situation in socialistic Canada. Not much different. You no pay, you no get.
No one is coming around ensuring you and baby are warm.

Junior college does not make you an expert in any way and the chances you studied capitalism
pro and con are unlikely

Nobody is fighting about "syrup and children's books". We are fighting against a major cultural shift where it's become standard to be hypersensitive about everything, and wipe off the face of the earth anything or anyone who offends a tiny percentage of the population (unless you're making fun of right-wingers, Christians, and/or white people).

I thought your position was that you hated SJWs and the extreme left, but hated Trump and his followers even more.

If that's still true, shouldn't you condemn shit like this, while also condemning the things you hate about Trump and Republicans? It's not either/or. Both can be done at once. Bill Maher is a good example of this.

It's not really fair to say "Why do you care about X because I deem Y to be more important." That's a sleight-of-hand trick used by the left nowadays, where they first cancel something because it's supposedly evil, awful, and bad, and then yell at Republicans for "caring" about their actions. Huh?

I do hate it. I wish people would leave books alone and say it was a different time.

I hate the chilling impact it has on comedy and literature.

You just said it, it’s a tiny percentage of the population dictating this.

It’s so tiny I’ve never met one in my entire life. I’m sure some of my friends kids are into it, but they aren’t talking to me about it. If they did I’d laugh and say get over it, it was a different time, be happy you live now.

That said, it has no impact on my life. It has little impact on anyone’s life behind a syrup bottle got changed or comedy sucks or whatever. It sucks. Companies run everything through a calculator and clearly they don’t think it’s worth the fight and see a population changing in front of their eyes.

What does impact my life is every middle-aged white guy I know being distracted by this nonsense every day. Yes, it’s annoying.

Why is some white grievance issue every thread here? Link me to anyone here who advocates for this and I’ll tell them they are a whiny bitch if it’s them being on twitter complaining. As you said, it’s a tiny percentage. Who here is a twitter sjw?

This forum is almost entirely over 35 white guys who had a better deal years ago and don’t give one fuck wanting syrup bottles changed.

But what I’m complaining about with your party is incredibly prevalent here. I’m not going and bitching about trumps cult on the national review site. I’m bitching here because it’s the majority here. That’s how prevalent this nonsense is. And I don’t need to come here to find it, I’m a middle aged white guy, everything I see and hear is other disgruntled middle aged white guys whining about this all day.

I hate cancel culture worse than you because it’s just one giant distraction that allows people to get angry and ignore the fact that half their neighborhood is full on insane and their lawmakers are spouting conspiracy theories on the floor of the Capitol and it’s getting worse. That does impact my life in a huge way.

I’d take a blowtorch to these twitter mobs for giving old aggrieved people a distraction so they can continue to bury their head in the sand as to what’s really going on.

That anyone dares speak sanity to the cult is getting censured and cancelled. That’s actually important. Those people start wars and make policies. They aren’t banning some twitter account or changing a syrup bottle. What you’re canceling in the freak show GOP is basic sanity, and that’s far more dangerous than the other.

The culture war conducted by rightwing media is fully intended to distract the masses from even hearing about other issues of the day that are important AND which makes the GOP look really bad for the general public. This commentary by S. E. Cupp pretty well sums it up.



And the virtual news blackout by Fox News of the recent debate and developments in Biden’s COVID relief bill using culture war topic coverage in its place is staggering shocking.

Hey Mumbles are you so obsessed with politics because you’re stuck driving that truck all day and listening to podcasts and talk radio? I like that guy Michael Savage ever heard of him?

That guy who lives in San Francisco and hung out with hippies and poets as a young adult but screamed homophobia on the radio for hours on end for 25 years? I wonder if he might have some sort of internal conflict that's driving his anger and hatred. Can't quite put my finger on it.

S.E. Cupp is awful.

She's a complete phony. Identifies as a "Republican" and is the supposed "CNN Republican commentator", but in reality there's nothing Republican about her anymore. She switched sides as soon as she signed on with CNN, and now every take of hers is left wing.

I don't even think she has any real ideology. She was "Republican" when it was convenient for her career, and now she's on the left because CNN hired her. Dumb.

Also, your point is nonsense. The Republicans are not "conducting" a culture war. It's the left pushing major cultural change, and the right is (understandably) reacting to it.

You can't push these type of insane changes and cancellations, and then bitch when the other side comments on it.

"More than 1.2 million copies of stories by the late children’s author sold in the first week of March" and for comparison the best selling book out of the 6 "banned" books sold 7k copies in 2020.

I was under the impression that when you're canceled you lose your livelihood, you're blacklisted from all the fancy events and your children are forced to eat poison laced gravel.

Also about this totally new thing that is going to keep getting worse, they have been revising children's books since the late 50s.

I just watched them perform wet ass pussy at the Grammys. Interesting no one is trying to cancel this. A bunch of mostly naked women dancing and pretending to fuck each other saying how wet their pussies are on network television easily accessible by millions of children. Yet having a black woman on a bottle or syrup and a black man on a box of rice is concerning.

Yup, that's because this is classified as "sex positive" -- a happy-sounding term which is actually very damaging to young women.

Sex positivity means that you never "slut shame", you accept prostitution as a legitimate profession, and you generally give a thumbs up to women being overtly sexual and not showing any restraint to promiscuity.

The huge problem with this comes from the psychological toll all of this actually takes on women who behave this way. Prostitutes become desensitized to sex, often report having issues enjoying it with their actual romantic partners, and also have a hard time trusting men. Hyper-promiscuous girls often develop low self-esteem, especially after coming to realize that men are using them for sex and have little interest in anything else. Men and women tend to be wired differently when it comes to sex. Men can more easily disassociate emotion from sex, and also have a higher sex drive in general. While men often don't emerge damaged from having a large number of sexual partners, women often do. Ask a woman who's 45 years old with a wild past if she would have slept with fewer men if she could go back and do it all over, and the answer would usually be yes.

Then there's the hypocrisy factor. While male feminists like to give lip service to the sex positivity movement, in reality they don't want to date current/former prostitutes, nor do they want to marry girls who have banged 100 men in the past. It's like the woke parents who speak in favor of busing from the inner city into the suburban public schools, and then enroll their kids in lily white private schools to avoid their kids having to associate with that element. (Similarly, trans women complain that woke leftist dudes loudly proclaim that trans women are real women, and then will never date them.)

You can be in favor of legalized prostitution without being so-called "sex positive" and "sex worker positive". It's very reasonable to say that you don't want to see hookers arrested, but you also want to loudly object if one of your female friends/relatives expresses the desire to get into that line of work. But the religion of wokeness says you must be supportive if your sister comes to you and says she's going to become a hooker.

Saw a big display of gallon-size Aunt Jemima syrup in Costco today. Never saw it there before. Maybe all the excess stock is being shipped to Canada. We are more progressive and have fewer race problems than America, but are not hypersensitive about tiny little bullshit the way Americans have become.

I walked past it and picked up some 100% pure Canadian maple syrup. Miss me with that fake shit.

Piers Morgan said he didn't believe Meghan Markle. Result? He got cancelled. The Talk is on hiatus until they figure out what to do with Sharon Osbourne for sticking up for her longtime friend, Piers Morgan. Result? She's most likely going to get cancelled. The real scandal is Piers being called a racist for refusing to believe a liar.

Chris Harrison, host of "The Bachelorette", was cancelled.

https://www.goodmorningamerica.com/c...rette-76434213

Laughably, he was cancelled for speaking out in defense of someone else in the process of being cancelled. He spoke in moderate defense of "Bachelor" contestant Rachel Kirkconnell, saying that she deserved "some grace" after the cancel mob came after her. What was Rachel's crime? She attended an Old South antebellum party in 2018. For shame!

So he got fired for stating his opinion on that matter. Nice.

Oh, and this was after several attempts to save his career, bowing to the woke overlords and getting "racial counseling". I kid you not.

He made the mistake of apologizing to the woke crew. That never works. You need to stand your ground and call them the crazies they are. If you validate their outrage, they will simply come after you harder, as you will have already conceded to their craziness.
