Cancel Culture and Progressive Iconoclasm: The #Blackout Edition w/ extra "Guidance"

[Husky_Khan]

In case anyone is wondering, yes the riots are still ongoing in Portland.

And yes, the reason you don't hear about them is because the Media stopped reporting them because it was harming Biden/Harris' polling numbers (probably).

And yes, they hate Lincoln as well.

 

[Yinko]

And yes, they hate Lincoln as well.

I mean, the first artifact they destroyed was a monument honoring black Union soldiers. Are we actually sure they aren't just against all representational imagery or something? Quick! Someone put a statue of Lenin in front of the mob, if they tear it down it means they're iconoclasts, if they don't then they're just idiots who don't understand what they're doing or why they're doing it.

Its cause they hate Western Civilization, they hate the US. Its that simple.

What do elk statues have to do with western civilization? If that was their message, they're still being pretty fast and loose with their execution.

Its there, its a part of the culture. These people hate everything of the West. It doesn't matter if the President freed the slaves or whatever. Still a dirty white man and still a colonizer. Remember, that these people are all deconstructionists.

That's just their excuse; in reality, most of these people just want to watch the world burn.

Maybe Ghandi should have laid off all of those nukes, and we would not have this problem then.

You know, I’ve heard before their deaths, supposedly like my country’s national hero “Jose Rizal”

Both Rizal and Gandhi were likely to start advocating or planning to advocate for a violent war, as soon as plans for reform were even more denounced

Just something said by my history teacher, but he said it was a plan before Rizal’s execution

It would have solved a lot of problems, that's for sure.

Eh, I'm not a fan, neither is much of India. Part of the issue is that his kind of peaceful protest is specifically designed to incite a violent response in the opposition in order to make them look bad. It is violent, it is merely that you are manufacturing your own victim-hood. Rather than using force to make the other side fear you, you are using force to make the other side fear the repercussions of being seen to use force, and then repeatedly cornering them into a position where force is extremely likely.

This depends though on just how nice the people you are provoking are

If Gandhi tried that on the Soviet Union, he’d regret it all

Ghandi new exactly what kind of culture he was trying to use non-violent protest against, and had a very good idea of why it would work against them.

There's no reason to think he would have tried such a thing against a more brutal culture or government.

Indeed. It was highly culture-specific, just as Jesus' "turn the other cheek" commandment. But problem is, people who don't understand context start thinking that nonviolent response is always the answer, which is BS - even Jesus used force to get traders out of the Temple (whipped them good).

Even Pontius Pilate was moments away from just releasing Jesus for being so surprisingly innocent

Mark Twain's "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" and Mildred D. Taylor's 'Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry" among other books banned.

www.newsweek.com

Kind of an old tune but this time it might stick thanks to the current atmosphere.

What classic novels are Burbank, California schools banning over fears of racism?

Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird
Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
John Steinbeck's Of Mice and MenTheodore Taylor's The Cay
Mildred D. Taylor's Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry.

But why was this done?

Because four parents, three of whom are Black, were worried about potential allegations of racism that could harm the districts four hundred Black students.

Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird

This book taught me more about racism than SJW's ever have and once more without being preachy.

The ultimate reason is to replace the old Canon with a new Canon. Social Justice wants its preferred authors to be the new canon. It doesnt matter if you read them. It only matters that you can see that have replaced the old Canon with the New Canon so they can flex on you.

For a moment, I thought you said “old Conan” and “new Conan”

Which reminded me of how a year or two back, on spacebattles there was stuff being talked about a Conan The Cimmerian/Barbarian boardgame

Some lady who was part of the company who made it complaining about racism and sexism and shit and was getting attention

The thread was a bunch of pages long weirdly enough as people actually sort of sided with that lady. One lady even mentioned how she thought Berserk was RACIST because of the whole Kushan Invasion, all while admitting to hearing about Muslims before trying to invade Europe before the Crusades, as inspiration and not caring that later the Kushans were depicted as human as anybody else and that they were welcomed by the rest of humanity in attempts to survive in Falconia

The “Old Conan” by Robert E Howard and many older or before 2010s or 2013+ creators will probably be considered “racist” and “sexist”

But they will still like using the character and setting for their own stuff

They shat on HP Lovecraft, but used his stuff for another game before

If they’re gonna erase these books mentioned earlier

Then there maybe a chance in the future that they erase the works or Robert E Howard and HP Lovecraft

But people will know there was stuff the current stuff was originally based on

If they do this to other stuff, I can see people barely ever having known that Starfire wasn’t some obese, goth, midget goth

Committee Chairman For Renaming Lincoln HS Says Honest Abe ‘Never Showed … Black Lives Ever Mattered’

The San Francisco school district renaming committee reportedly wants to strip the name of former President Abraham Lincoln from a school over racism.

“Lincoln, like the presidents before him and most after, did not show through policy or rhetoric that Black lives ever mattered to them outside of human capital and as casualties of wealth building.” - Some Moronic San Francisco Public School Official
