"Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right."
might be a bit pretentious to quote 1984 but boy, try telling me the right wing reality distortion field doesn't exist.
That's legitimately why the republicans want to rename the Gulf of Mexico
What do you mean "rename"? It's always been the Gulf of America.
we have always been allied with eurasia. we have always been at war with east asia
Ouch, this physically hurt haha

Not pretentious at all. This is the exact thing Orwell was warning about. Never a better time to quote it.
It was a fun place people could pretend to be trains! Choo chooo!!
Hey man, get with the times, that name makes Hesgeth angy
Enola still sounds a bit woman-y. Maybe replace it with something manly like Donald.
The Enola Gay becomes the Elon Straight!
Or, to be the correct amount of condescending and dehumanizing, the “Elon Normal.”
No way would they put up anything that suggested someone could be trains.
These are the same folks that say the civil war was fought for "states rights".
They have no problem with ignoring details.
To be replaced by "Harold Whiteman", a dapper man of Nordic ancestry, who helped white slaves escape from white slavery with the help of the friendly neighborhood watch organization, the KKK!
Soon you'll only get "Did you mean 'the subway'?" search results with "underground railroad".
what are you talking about, the underground railroad has always been the 4/5 subway line in NYC that connects the Trump Building in Wall Street with the Trump Tower in 5th Ave, right?

This, and all the other sites they've taken down, are meant to be freely accessible to everyone. This is what your taxes actually pay for. The government runs a massive research operation, and library, for everyone. This is a book burning.
They don't gotta burn the books, they just remove 'em.
Then let's find ~~someone~~ something else to burn
"Eliminate DEI content" actually means "government-sponsored open bigotry".
Yeah, this isn’t DEI, and the media needs to call that out.
If by "this," you mean the reference towards Tubman, then you're wrong. Talking about the accomplishments of anyone who isn't a straight white Christian man IS promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion! DEI is a good thing! Opposing it is explicitly racist!

New quote:
"Immigrants mysteriously disappeared from their jobs in the South and reappeared in the North. No women were involved in this process."
All of the workers in the south worked really hard for their boss and earned a promotion and moved into luxury in the north. All of these people were hardworking Americans and none of them were black
And provide some hope? Nah, if they are erasing history then they will just say "No slave ever successfully escaped. They were required by law to be returned if found and the North didn't follow the law. The North, those law breakers, were trying to pick a fight for decades. The Noble South was attacked and lost their righteous cause due to brotherly betrayal."
The white washing is just pathetic. MAGAts a such snowflakes.
This is about flexing their power. They are showing that they won and they are going to force their values down everyone else's throat.
Don't belittle them by calling them pathetic. Call it what it is.
This is fascism.
Fascism is pathetic. It's extremely dangerous and causes massive suffering, but it's also pathetic.

"Yeah, about your pamphlet...I'm not seeing anything about German history between 1939 and 1945."
"Everyone was on vacation."
"What are you talking about, Germany invaded Poland in 1939."
"We were invited! Punch was served. Check with Poland!"
"You can't just ignore those years! Thomas Mann fled to America because of Nazism's stranglehold on Germany!"
"Nope...He left to manage a Dairy Queen!"
"A Dairy Queen? That's preposterous!"
"I will hear NO MORE insinuations about the German people. NOTHING BAD HAPPENED!"
Oh, ok, so now Civilization VII is more historically accurate than the National Park Service. That's... ugh
Jesus fucking Christ
The modern iteration of book burning creates a lot less smoke and noise, so it can fly under the radar.
