Are they gradually rewriting history ?

Today it was announced that  English teachers have cancelled Shakespeare because of his 'white supremacy,

One NYT best-selling author said these schools are 'flushing great literature down the drain'

 

'Shakespeare's works are full of problematic, outdated ideas, with plenty of misogyny, racism, homophobia, classism, anti-Semitism and misogynoir,' she wrote, with the last word referring to a hatred of black women.

Outrage as Disney debuts woke new look for Minnie Mouse, ditching iconic red dress in favor of a 'progressive' blue, sustainable pantsuit designed by Stella McCartney .

 

From this:

 

 

To this:

 

 

 

• The Winston Churchill Memorial Trust removed images of him and changed name to the Churchill Fellowship
• This morning an image returned - but bosses say name change would remain because old one was 'confusing'
• Volunteers at the trust were fuming at the move, saying it was 'rewriting history' and 'cancelling' greatest PM
• It comes amid a wider move by Left-wing activists to tarnish his reputation and even compare him to Hitler

 

 

• Dwarf actor criticised Peter Dinklage for calling Snow White remake 'backwards'
• Viewers shared their fury at the seven dwarfs being 'cancelled' in the classic film 

 

 

I wonder how long it will be before they put Snow White in a pants suit ?

It's like Irvine Welsh wrote in Trainspotting.

In the future there won't be men and women anymore just wankers.

 

But seriously, maybe they are trying to provoke a reaction and backlash so they can label more people extremists or white supremacists just for questioning the madness.

They must be thinking damn we've dumbed them down too much, these morons will swallow any old crap lol.

Must push them more and more to create the social and racial division we need to progress the agenda.

Like a child tests the boundaries to see how far they can go before they get a reaction. Or a bully who preys on the weak. 

 

Another analogy, I saw a TV programme recently about life aboard a Royal Navy submarine: they chase Russian subs who constantly trespass in our waters to test our defences and find weak spots.

Cancelled: Channel 5 REMOVES all scenes featuring Mickey Rooney's 'racist' yellow-face character Mr Yunioshi from Breakfast At Tiffany's

Breakfast At Tiffany's is at the centre of a censorship row after Channel 5 cut every scene featuring co-star Mickey Rooney. His portrayal of Japanese character Mr Yunioshi has long been condemned as racist, but critics say the broadcaster's decision to consign the entire role to the cutting-room floor was a 'dangerous' rewriting of history. Rooney wore 'yellowface' make-up and buck teeth, taped his eyes and delivered the lines in an exaggerated accent for the role of landlord to Hepburn's Holly Golightly.

I remember watching the film The Party quite some time ago, with Peter Sellers playing a bumbling Indian. It has moments that make you laugh out loud and of course it must fall into the same category as Rooney above. It's art and art must never fall prey to the adjustment bureau! I feel nauseated that these fumbling politically correct knobheads are dissecting life in such a way. Where do we draw the line? Harry Enfield taking the piss out of a Birmingham accent where he proclaims he has 'considerably more money than yow (you)' - maybe some offended brummies would like that removed or 'the scousers' because of the stereo-typing involved? It's the path to conformity, madness and boring blandness. Anyway, enjoy this clip, Sellers at his artistic best:-

I know what you mean, it's a crying shame.

One of his funniest movies. A brilliant actor who probably couldn't do most of his characters in today's world. When they "banned" Mr Magoo because it might offend those who are hard of seeing...

History has always been edited and re-edited. "They" are just doing a lot of it at one time, in our current place in time., so it's somewhat obvious to those who are paying attention. For instance, apparently Abe Lincoln did not hunt zombies.

[Grumpy Owl]

I'm leaning towards the idea that much of we know about 'history' has been mostly fabricated, and that our 'known chronology' has been extended with many historical figures and 'empires' actually being the same, but portrayed in different periods of time.

 

This is a fascinating, but very lengthy read:

 

Our timeline could be much shorter than we think...

[Anti Facts Sir]

Yeah, I used to be fascinated with history, but from what I've discovered in my short time here, it's all likely to be bunk. If they're doing this now, then they probably always have been.

As you might know 'The adjustment bureau' itself is a recent movie with fairly actual themes, based on a PKD book. Not the best adaptation of his work around but decent. Is there a centralized PKD thread on the forum currently? Because there should be, the man was a visionary and there is the concurrent question of; why is he by far the most adapted 'SF' writer so far and what prompted the 'gnostic' period in hollyweird?

 

As for the OP's question - yes - and not just in (pop) culture, but on/ around the internet itself too. I remember the time my dad found some documents from the 20's describing the deliberate plans to destabilize dutch monarchy (and the country itself) with a 'plant' - through google - we saved the link and the exact search string to find it vanished the week after - my first direct experience with an 'internet vanishing' years ago, there have been SO MANY more now. A topic for a new topic perhaps, the degradation of the internet over the last decade mostly - by whom, how, and how bad is it exactly?
