Riciculous hypocrisy of ALLOWING Mein Kampf to be listed, 13+ active listings, but remove Dr Seuss classic, ....Mulberry Street, for being "offensive"....for showing a guy using chopsticks.
News Flash: ASIANS DO USE CHOPSTICKS....and so do many Americans, etc, when they eat Asian food. They give them to you.
Done with Ebay....the 13-15% "commission" is ridiculous, too.

Mein Kampf teaches us about power dynamics and that's a critical feature this new religion.

Actually, "Mein Kampf" is, in my opinion, a poorly written and boring book. Unfortunately for the German people of that era, required reading by the regime in power at the time. Personally, I think that if read by people of reasonable intelligence, it shows the fanatical rantings going on in the mind of its author.
Alas! In today's world, there are many that search for and find offense in things where none was intended by the person saying or doing the original thing. Of course, many today that take such offense think nothing of saying or doing things that others may find offensive. It appears that we live in a time populated thin skinned people that only care about what they think people should say or think about and not embrace the true nature of diversity.
Alas! There are many that appear to be willing to bow down to this way of thinking rather than think for themselves. I wonder if perhaps we aren't making the same mistakes that the German People made in the 1930's. Time will tell, I suppose.

You're about two weeks to late to the bandwagon, it drove off and left you to stew over Pepi LePew

oh so true.

Mein Kampf has been a BANNED BOOK on eBay for being Offensive Material for many, many years.

Dear ebay
I do not wish to eat food with chop sticks, & avoid places that force their use.

Write to the Dr Seuss Foundation if you don't agree with their decision. eBay is just a corporation that answers to shareholders. The Foundation are the ones administering their private property.

The management team at Ebay is the proper contact for this situation. They are responsible for the policy and enforcement causing this situation.

You joined the Community with this member id on March 4, 2021. Since then, every single comment you've posted has been regarding the removal of Dr. Seuss books. 100%. Your posts make references to Mein Kampf, gulags, Joseph Stalin, and the Stasi. One more, and I think you'll have hit the maximum allowed by social convention regarding the number of Nazi references acceptable on a given topic. I've never seen reductio ad Hitlerum applied so excessively.
Makes one wonder why you are participating in this Community in the first place. What's your agenda, exactly? Who sent you? While the rest of us are off on other threads and other boards trying to answer questions from members about shipping their items, processing returns, and learning about Managed Payments, the one and only contribution you've made is to perpetuate your crusade.

There's no hypocrisy here. People who propagate cancel culture and the author of MK are both to the left of the far left.

Have you ever agreed to do to a job, shook someone's hand and finished the job it even if it cost you money, the ability to feed your kids?
I've been on Ebay for over two decades and the basis for this platform, honesty from individual sellers has been the rule and not the exception.
My agenda is to preserve that.

I think you've replied to the wrong member. Your comments have nothing to do with anything I've posted.
