The correct response to the Woke is laughter and derision. They should be treated like village idiots at every turn. They are only bold because they are not actively resisted at every turn.

To grasp how a man known as much for his messages of tolerance as for his artistic genius could be canceled for racism, you have to understand what’s actually happening here. The left’s war on the past, on long-dead authors like Geisel, isn’t really about the past, it’s about the future. It’s about who gets to rule, and under what terms.

Who controls the past controls the future.
Who controls the present controls the past.
--George Orwell, 1984

PING!

I’ve been saying the exact same thing.

Cancelling Dr. Seuss, statues of American heroes, Mr. Potato Head, Aunt Jemina, etc has NOTHING to do with “racism” and EVERYTHING to do with erasing American traditions and culture.

Those leftist radicals who wish to “change America” can’t do so if we have links back to “traditional” America - like, Dr. Seuss, George Washington, Christopher Columbus, etc. Nope - those “olds” (as the article puts it) need to be eradicated from American society COMPLETELY in order for the “new” culture to be rammed down our throats.

We all need to pay very close attention to this, because the radical’s game plan is extremely obvious (and quite alarming) at this point.

Just ask Jeanine Cummins, whose novel “American Dirt” drew the ire of the left last year simply because Cummins, who is white, wrote a book about Mexican drug cartels. The list goes on and on.

Yes, indeed, a White person writing about Mexican drug cartels is soooooo culturally appropriating. El Chapo should have written that book. Firsthand knowledge, baby!

The bottom line is the United States of America is not China it is not Europe this is an extremely independent well armed populous that’s just waiting around watching these idiot children and thinking

“if they really get out of control that’s the end of them!”

I wouldn’t doubt that for one second

Cancelling books (thought control) is not as dramatic as book burning but much more effective.

In which case, I will be like Burgess Meredith in that Twilight Zone episode. In that episode, possession of a Bible merited a death sentence, which, to Meredith’s character, actually made the Good Book the one thing of supreme value in his life.

First they cancelled books, then they cancelled people.

They'll have to pry my copy of Hop on Pop from my cold, dead hands.

Ehhhhh, on second thought, here, take it, I'm done reading it.

I like Aunt Jemima.

They can have my Aunt Jemima pancakes when they take them from my cold, dead hands.

One last reply: After Dr. Seuss, I wonder if the Woke Mob will cancel 80s rap artist Little Benny next.

You know, “The CAT IN THE HAT, used to do smack, now he does crack, he can’t get back . . .”

Speaking of Mao-like Cultural Revolution, here’s a video from Paul Joseph Watson that explicitly shows what we’re up against:

Watch this to see our future.

I don’t like censorship, I don’t like here, I don’t like it there, I don’t like it anywhere.

Tolerance Sucks Rocks :
"Who controls the past controls the future.
Who controls the present controls the past."
--George Orwell, 1984 "

That is why there is the effort to destroy all the historical statuary.
It's all about control,
and never learning from our past faults and failures
so that we repeat our past faults and failures again,.. and again.

About Aunt Jemima: Many years ago when I was younger, I used to work in one of our hotels, and I told one of my coworkers, who was black that I liked Aunt Jemima. Boy you should have been there, it looked like she was going to tear my head off. But I saw the character of Aunt Jemima as grand motherly a child could trust, not as a slave. My supervisor was also black and I told her about it. She agreed with what I said.
