Did you read 1984? Maybe Lord of the Rings?

They’re trying to do it with a lot of classic books down here in the UK. You like Jane Austen? You can’t like her books anymore because they feature “colonisation”. Most likely they’re whining about her stuff because there’s no LGBT+ representation in them🙄. They’re also trying to label Jane as queer too but she was very much like me; not interested in romantic relationships and was a stay at home person and wasn’t a social butterfly. Hence why she took to writing.

Nazis/Communist book burning without the smoke.

So many of the warnings from 1984 have come true.

And the push to remove the Bible is already well underway.  If the Bible is the number 1 selling book of all time, when was the last time you saw one in your local library or bookstore?  Maybe a used bookstore or a religious bookstore only.

The National Anthem is being removed from classrooms (as is the Pledge of Allegiance in the US)  and a push to remove them from sporting events is also well underway.

I heard they are currently rewriting Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to remove words “fat”, crazy”, etc.

These extremely toxic far alt-left lunatics will not stop under ALL culture, all morals, all principals, all responsibilities, etc are removed and destroyed.

But having inappropriate books for preteens removed is CENSORSHIP? ! ?

In a way, I wonder if this is a bit of outrage marketing, or it’s just a flex to tell the public they are going to make changes to the culture whether you like it or not. It has already been done with statues and names of schools. Again, this is not democracy. Nobody voted for this. Nobody asked for it.

It kind of flies in the face of what writing should even be about. Also, the examples given are very milquetoast and tame. They aren’t even targeting particularly edgy writers. I usually think of like a Charles Bukowski or Jim Goad, neither of which I was ever into, as examples of provocative writers.

Speaking of provocation, the public is subjected to things the don’t want to see, hear or read, for example, Sam Smith and others, so while the people are forced to see smut, the censors go after normal staples of lore and culture.

Do they even teach the classics anymore? In terms of classic literature? Larouche used to say that if one is not classical educated, one is not educated at all. That stuck with me because I don’t think I got one. Never spoke a word of Latin in my entire life.
