Dr Seuss & Adolph Hitler

[mswmm_64yybribv]

How dare Ebay be so  politically correct to ban selling Dr Seuss, yet gallantly sell

Hitlers book Mein Kampf, the unibombers manifesto among other books.

This will most probably cause me not to use your site.

AGREE, I'm deleting my Ebay account. I'm not putting up with this hypocritical ridiculousness and online book burning by Ebay.  

[nevermore_antiques_and_books]

Mein Kampf is actually banned on ebay too, any ones you see currently listed just haven't been caught yet

This will most probably cause me not to use your site.

But you're not sure?

Have you done it yet?

Can y’all please do a shred of your own research before you start posting nonsense? Mr. Potato Head isn’t cancelled. Hasbro is branding the entire LINE Potato Head, since it includes baby potatoes and Mrs. Potato Head. Dr. Seuss isn’t cancelled. They’re pulling SIX books, out of 60+ because they contain racially insensitive content. Read across America isn’t cancelled, you can still find Dr. Seuss books in stores. Chill out and quit blindly following every mob post you come across on Facebook please 🤦🏻‍♀️

Hmm the company that sells the few Seuss books stopped them citing offensive: ebay is just following along...

As fer Hitler.. ban em all and have it all happen again. That is what all this offensive material ban does is try and hide history so it can repeat......

[nocoolnamejane]

Relegating such symbols to museum and history books doesn’t hide history.

Jewish people will NOT forget the Holocaust because all traces of the Third Reich have been removed from public spaces in Europe.

Descendants of chattel slavery will NOT forget the horrors of slavery because statues honoring people who fought to keep them enslaved are taken down.

History repeats itself because people are dumb. That’s it.

Whether you agree with it or not, ebay has every right to ban whatever they want on their site.

You have every right not to use their site.

God bless America.

I never thought I'd consider The Soapbox to be a bastion of sanity, or the Payments board to be a safe haven, but here we are . . . today is the day.

I'm marking it down in my diary and affixing a little emoji sticker of some kind. Flames, maybe.

Their lack of response should be your answer right there 😉

[fairdeal*lb]

You are 100% correct.. Don't let this Mob get to you.

Most of these threads and posts have come from brand new accounts--either to eBay or the Community. They have responded to a "call to arms" from somewhere/someone and have been instructed to flood the eBay message boards with comments about this topic. They have posted these threads, and we'll never hear from them again. My guess is it's a secret society of some kind that has one of those soccer-mom calling trees. 😂

"Hey! If you have an eBay account, go post on their discussion boards! Threads/posts must include at least three of the following words or phrases:"

"woke"

"cancel culture"

"Hitler"

"Mein Kampf"

"Nazis"

"book burning"

"book banning"

"First Amendment" (and other vaguely referred to  "rights")

"freedom(s)"

"right wing"

"Communists"

"socialists"

"fascists"

"Orwellian" 

"baby eaters"

"totalitarianism"

"Marx" (or any variation thereof, including "Marxists")

"Orwellian"

"Fahrenheit 451" (but the author's name is never mentioned--can't imagine why not)

"liberals"

And possibly my personal favorite:

"Suess"

     You got that right for sure! Never seen anything like it...even " Payment method" is looking good!
