Utopia Talk / Politics / Dr Seuss cancelled!!!(but not really...)

Tue Mar 02 16:49:03
this is apparently the biggest story of the day (for the right)... segment after segment on Fox News about it & various personalities tweeting about it


the actual facts: the Dr Seuss people have decided to stop publishing these 6 books over racial insensitivity:
"And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street", "If I Ran the Zoo", "McElligot’s Pool", "On Beyond Zebra!", "Scrambled Eggs Super!" and "The Cat’s Quizzer"
(i googled how many books are there & answer was "At least 39")

& Dr Seuss was not mentioned in the 'Read Across America Day' proclamation released by Biden (unlike Obama & Trump versions)... everyone reads those proclamations right?


this is apparently devastating news (even more so than the Potato Head thing)... there are still Mr & Mrs Potato Heads, by the way, not that you Fox watchers would know...

i wasn't even aware of "Read Across America Day" & Biden didn't 'remove' Seuss from the proclamation as some claim, he just doesn't name him in it (or anyone else)

& how many people read those proclamations?

is there a single person in the world who saw that proclamation, realized Seuss was mentioned in some prior years but not now & figured Biden was saying they should no longer read Dr Seuss?

but of course now, the cult believes that to be the case... or that Biden actively banning publication...

Tw

Two things about the proclamation.

First, of course your average person doesn't read them. The target audience is not the average person.

The proclamation does however act as a signal to journalists and academics as to what is acceptable and what isn't. Those people DO pay attention to these things. Biden memory holing Seuss today means the press treats his negatively going forward and public schools drop his books.

The second is that its another sign of how pervasive cancel culture has become. Things that up until yesterday were considered acceptable, even admirable, can become verboten at a moment's notice.

Now, are you going to agree that Dr Seuss books don't need to be canceled to appease the PC gods, or is that too much to ask?
Rugian
Member
Wed Mar 03 13:06:59
Second point was in regards to the 2015 Obama mention. It's relevant because it shows that just six years ago the past president felt no need to disappear Seuss.

Objectively speaking, what has changed so radically between 2015 and 2021 that caused Seuss to go from greatly beloved children's books author to total pariah?

TW, The problem with this is, you know as well as I do that won't be the last thing to get cancelled or called racist that, lets be honest is just silly.

Now afaik this is not coming from the DNC, but we know its not conservatives pushing this nonsense.

We have plenty of other nonsense to push.

But Biden has made sure to bomb Syria, impeach Trump and get Suess off the streets and still no check in my hand...kinda salty about that, I have plans to buy a lptnof drugs, but I still want slending cash, what's all those drugs worth if I can't work on my property, maybe I'll build a deck.

well if any schools are looking to the proclamation on books to carry they are in trouble



"Things that up until yesterday were considered acceptable, even admirable, can become verboten at a moment's notice. "

that's the way it is... that chinese guy pictured was once yellow & labeled "a chinaman who eats with sticks" & that got changed to be less offensive... are you demanding the original color & text be put back?

the term "cancel culture" being tossed around in many ways... are you implying they were pressured to do this? or are you against even them deciding on their own?

i couldn't care less about those 6 books (they don't seem like 'classics' to me but i'm not a childrens book expert)... and how are new authors supposed to get read if everyone wants their children to read only the books they read (although, again... this isn't Dr Seuss being cancelled... just 6 of 39+ books no longer being published, & Biden had NOTHING to do with it)

Better yet, sell the copies you already own because I bet there's tons of idiot cuckservatives out there willing to spend money on these books (that they didn't care about 1 week ago).

The owners of the IP voluntarily decided to cease production. It's their property, it's their call. It's good for their brand, they think. It's called capitalism. Nobody was cancelled ffs.

Okay you retards, because everything has to be spelled out for you. EBay is NOT BANNING THE SALE OF THESE BOOKS. They are removing obviously fake/misleading listings of the books to prevent MORONS (like you) from getting scammed because they think they are suddenly valuable now. Ebay does this all the time for all sorts of products.

Reasonably priced listings of these books are still on their site. Just do a search.

do you work hard at finding equivalence or does it somehow just come to you?


"He never said people shouldn't wear them"... actually he probably did... all his senior staff & allies knew not to wear them around him or when on TV speaking to him... how did they get that message?

In any case, he made it abundantly clear he was against them w/ heaps of examples... his staff managed to finally get him to be photographed in one by having him go to a military hospital for a photo op, & he still felt compelled to note he only wore the mask as he was at a hospital. When he held one of his no-precaution events at his golf club & the club at risk of being shutdown that's when he came up with his brilliant 'these are protests' claim, gleeful at finding a way to avoid public health rules... which he then continued to claim the remainder of his rallies, all just to avoid public safety measures (very presidential).

And as i've noted before... when he spotted Laura Ingraham wearing one he accused her of being 'politically correct'... recall HR's view of that term... one of the biggest insults you can give in the mind of a cultist.

There was no question he actively discouraged masks throughout. Whereas he should've actively -encouraged- masks. So he was worse than nothing (and on many aspects, not just that).


Compared to Biden... who has said literally nothing about Dr Seuss... & took no actions affecting Dr Seuss... & there's no reason as president that we should expect him to talk about Dr Seuss.


No, there is no equivalence, & there is no truth in all those faux news reports about Dr Seuss.

He repeatedly just made-up when it would be ready, he couldn't comprehend the trial process, he smeared the FDA & even the companies over it & he's done virtually nothing to encourage people take it. He also said the virus would go away without the vaccine, & only helped the virus spread w/ his no-precaution rallies & terrible example setting.

grade F performance... & a disastrous F... a worse-than-random-guessing F

Pretty sure Dems/Libs are less likely to get the vaccine. No doubt spurred on by thwir most loyal constituents, black women.

I see Retard Rod 2.0 is pulling stuff out of his ass again without evidence. Oh wait, I'm sure his evidence is, "That's what I've heard around the neighborhood."

TW, It may be changing as hesitancy is decreasing. From what I remember before the big demographics to be hesitant rural ( Republican) blacks and women, several studies had 70-80% of the hesitant people were women.

perhaps back when the total lying fraud was being gatekeeper of (mis)information

now it's the cult... the people who were led to believe it was a hoax, who were discouraged from taking any precautions (yet willing to guzzle hydroxychloroquine), and are now buying up all Dr Seuss books

As a disclaimer polls are garbage and should not be trusted, but according to PBS/Marist/NPR:

"CVVACC1R. NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist Poll National Tables March 3rd through March 8th, 2021

If a vaccine for the coronavirus is made available to you, will you choose to
be vaccinated or not? If you have already received the vaccine, please say
so.

Yes, will / Yes, already received / No / Unsure

Party Identification, Democrat: 58% / 29% / 11% / 2%

Party Identification, Republican: 32% / 21% / 41% / 3%

Party Identification, Independent: 44% / 19% / 34% / 3%

President Biden actually received his first shot in December.

But how can that be? According the the current administration they were given nothing from the previous administration and President Biden takes full credit for all that has been done.

He is as full of shit as you are. It is because former-president Trump asked why can't we do this quicker that Biden was able to get his shot.

Kargen, He hasnt mentioned the 1.6 trillion dollar sack of cash Trump and Mnuchin left his incoming administration.

Biden came into a sweet deal all in all.

"It is because former-president Trump asked why can't we do this quicker that Biden was able to get his shot."

seriously?

Trump: "why can't we do this quicker?"
scientists: "omg, he's right! let's do it quicker!"


Trump's view was the virus was nothing to worry about, that the flu worse, that it wouldn't come here, & when it did come here that it would go away on its own (specifically saying without a vaccine), yet fucking morons think he & he alone came up with the idea of investing $10 billion (more than he said his 40 foot wall from coast to coast would cost) in creating a vaccine?

...and of course if he & he alone didn't think of that investment idea that there would be no vaccine for at least 5 years, but probably never at all (as he specifically & ridiculously stated)

-----

also what part of you thinks Trump had any idea what Mnuchin was doing?... when did he show any concern over any details on anything? and anticipating more aid being needed isn't all that shocking for Mnuchin to realize... (assuming he even did anything positive)

also, tack on that idiotic notion that Biden is denying any vaccine development that kargen has to the heap of misinformation being put out by faux news

I -believe- the real story involved poor distribution plans (which Trump did never talk about, all he ever did was lie about when it would be approved and then seemed to magically think everyone would get a dose instantly) but I don’t really care to look it up as kargen never will learn and keep swallowing the bullshit

Fox News is still running Dr Seuss pieces... w/ video showing "Green Eggs & Ham" & "Oh the places you'll go" book covers & "Cat in the Hat" images & others (NONE of which affected)

http://youtu.be/1ToZS42fmM0?t=65

is it so hard to use proper material two weeks into this critical story? they have the bindings shown amongst heaps of books so -someone- has the right books

...also Mr Potato Head is completely fine... you can still get a brown plastic egg that says "Mr" on the packaging

i'll assume this is the next lying bullshit faux news will run with:

"
BREAKING: The Washington Post just RETRACTED their story on Trump’s phone call with Georgia’s Secretary of State.

WaPo admits that they LIED about the whole thing.

Left wing media is owned by the Democrat lie machine.

Retweet if you’re not even remotely surprised.
"
~ Madison Cawthorne (R-from who cares)... the piece of shit wheelchair guy


-WaPo did NOT retract the story, they issued a correction
-It was NOT about the call w/ the Sec of State that was widely reported (i don't even recall hearing about this one)
-They did NOT say they lied about the whole thing

The facts are they issued a correction about quotes that were given by a source about a call that we DIDN'T have audio for, so NOT the widely circulated one & now they have audio i guess & corrected the quotes. That call & others still completely inappropriate.


but i can see the sea of lies already forming on Twitter... not just Cawthorne... the piece of shit Posobiec guy also claiming this 'vindicates' Trump... NOPE

guess what Fox still talking about:
http://twitter.com/atrupar/status/1375464379269967872

^PA congressman suggesting the government is somehow the ones who 'banned' Seuss books...
& w/ a bill to solve it!

on his bill announcement page: "The GRINCH Act will prohibit taxpayer dollars from funding bureaucrats’ attempts to censor children’s literature and determine what our kids are permitted to read. We must not allow the left to wage further attacks on students’ First Amendment rights." (citing no examples)

thank god, that was such a huge problem

if you are still a registered R after the past 4 years, just kill go yourself & MAGA!
