Previously: Penguin Random House Decides to Publish Roald Dahl Books After All
In all likelihood, these people are going to back down like the people editing Roald Dahl backed down.
They’re floating this 1984 idea of changing books out there and getting people used to it, then saying “oh okay, if you don’t like that, we won’t do it,” then when they bring it back a little bit later people will not be as bothered, and will be too tired to be outraged a second time.
All of these decisions that are made by these social engineering people are run through computer simulations called “social simulations.” They don’t accurately predict complex things, necessarily – they seemed to have gotten parts of the public response to the coronavirus hoax wrong – but they can predict whether or not people will be mad and complain about something.
And then, they can predict how long they will stay mad and when they will just accept whatever they were mad at as inevitable.
Ian Fleming’s original James Bond novels have been “rewritten” to remove racist remarks ahead of a coming re-release, The Telegraph has reported.
Ahead of a coming re-release to mark the 70th anniversary since the release of Ian Fleming’s Casino Royale novel, the first in the James Bond series, the publication reports that the works have been “rewritten” to appease woke sensibilities.
The revelation comes after a week of controversy surrounding recent reprints of Roald Dahl’s books, with it being revealed that the works of fiction have been edited in order to change or remove language deemed problematic.
According to The Telegraph, this practice of editing problematic content, supposedly to appeal to modern audiences, has now extended to Fleming’s work, with so-called “sensitivity readers” being drafted in to examine the novels.
Based blacks are having none of this
As a consequence, the 70th-anniversary edition reprints due out in April are to sport a number of major changes compared to the original, as well as a trigger warning at the beginning warning readers of each book’s contents.
“This book was written at a time when terms and attitudes which might be considered offensive by modern readers were commonplace,” the disclaimer will read.
References to the race and ethnicity of characters appear to have borne the brunt of the changes, with the use of terms deemed offensive or antiquated said to have been axed in favour of descriptors more befitting of modern progressive tastes.
Some sexual descriptors have also allegedly been reworked, with The Telegraph giving the example of one reference to a group of men ogling a woman doing a strip tease at a nightclub acting “like pigs at the trough” in Live and Let Die being axed.
“A number of updates have been made in this edition, while keeping as close as possible to the original text and the period in which it is set,” the included disclaimer is to explain, with iconic characters such as Oddjob said to have had their descriptors rejigged.
It’s disgusting and dehumanizing to even be having this conversation, and again, that is part of the purpose.
All of this bizarre stuff, such as publishing houses all of a sudden deciding it is time to start doing hardcore 1984 and editing books to change history, is organized.
They’ve always hated Bond
If we lived in a world with thinking humans, any single individual would be able to look at the fact that multiple book publishers have decided simultaneously to announce edits to books that are a part of the pop culture foundation of modern Western civilization, and take note that this is being planned centrally, that private companies are not actually private, and that we are all effectively lab rats in a mass scheme by some group of people who have a plan to shape society into a form that makes them more comfortable.
