What is the name for the free market cancelling a beloved cultual icon in accordance with an ideology I don't agree with There is no better word than censoring right now. If the use it enough that way, that becomes the new definition. This happens all the time with other words. Why fight over words? You know what they are talking about.

It’s pretty clear that you and many others on this thread don’t know what they are talking about.

Are you another person who is going to set me straight on what I believe and what words I am allowed to use? When are you going to listen for understanding instead of just confirmation of your biases?

Decisions by private entities are not censorship.

Well they are now. Deal with it. It's going to get worse.

No, they are not. Censorship is a government telling you what you can(or must) and cannot say, and fining or jailing you for disobeying. A company that decides to cease selling love volume publications is not censorship.

What's it called when a woke agenda infiltrates the minds of white elites who then hunt for real problems in the wrong places? Let me know when you have a name for this.

What's a "woke agenda"? Is that anything like trying to overthrow the government and force Congress vote count fake votes for Trump?

No it's not that. Try Google.

+1 and cancel culture is really just a boycott of companies, not censorship or cancelling. Someone unfriending you isn't cancel culture, it's them choosing who they don't want to be friends with because you are a vile human that loves Trump more than you love America.

Was Dr. Suess being boycotted?

No a private firm that owns the rights to his work decided to stop publishing a few of his books that aren’t big sellers and because they explained their decision conservatives went crazy. Had they done this without announcing these same conservatives would never have noticed.

It's called you making a mountain out of a molehill. Sorry you don’t like the “woke agenda” and are upset that you can’t control what other people think.

Sorry you can't control my mind. Or my speech either. At least not yet.

Ot trying to. I’m offering my sympathy that you are so upset that you can’t control what other people think.

I have no idea what a woke agenda is. Is people choosing not to buy six Dr Seuss books a "woke agenda"? I must have not got the memo because no one told me not to buy books. This thread is literally the first I heard of this. Who cares if people don't buy them? Now that Democrats are back in power, we're back to fake issues that no one really cares about. Was this on Tucker Carlson or something?

If you don't care, why are you here?

Seems like you are. You are making up feelings for me that I don't actyally have. Doesn't sound like sympathy to me. Sounds like the opposite.

So, even Dr. Suess canceled Dr. Suess. But the racists just can't let him go.

Because I wanted to know what this was about. It's a dumb thing. Tucker is a moron that wants to create scandal for ratings. I prefer Hassan Abi because he's liberal. He says it's fine.

Um. The normal evolution of culture? How do you think interracial marriage became widely accepted or pre-marital sex wasn’t something people were ashamed of? Some people decided those things needed to change in society, went about seeking like minded people. When enough people believed that way, people that are serving the public (companies with broad based appeal as an example), changed their practices. This is not some new phenomenon. Why aren’t we all sitting around a campfire discussing the movement of the herd? Because society evolves.

He was never for go it alone or America First. He was a "globalist elite" that wanted America to help the world. He's hated Trump's ideas. I'm surprised Republicans want to support his books.

Then he'd have no problem with some of his books being pulled for racist content. But the racists sure do.

If you watch the Hassan Abi video, you'll see that this was actually done by the Dr Seuss foundation, not 'woke liberals'. The foundation responsible for publishing his books chose to do this.

I’m gonna have to go buy more popcorn for keeping up with this thread.

I love seeing the left eating it’s own while at the same time denying they’re doing it, haha!

They were trying to cancel The Lorax a few years ago for promoting environmentalism. This is, as it so often is, about a knee jerk reaction to what they think is "the other side" more than anything else.
