I loved the stories too for the most part. But we grow and there’s some real shit to be reckoned with…
He cheated on his wife, had a years-long affair that would eventually end their marriage with a friend of hers.
He was an admitted anti-Semite. In 1983, he announced in the New Statesman that Hitler had his reasons for exterminating six million men, women and children. “There is a trait in the Jewish character that does provoke animosity,” he said. “I mean, there’s always a reason why anti-anything crops up anywhere; even a stinker like Hitler didn’t just pick on them for no reason.” In the August 1983 edition of the British periodical Literary Review, Dahl wrote, in reference to Jewish people, “Never before in the history of man has a race of people switched so rapidly from being much-pitied victims to barbarous murderers.” He made reference to “those powerful American Jewish bankers” and asserted that the United States government was “utterly dominated by the great Jewish financial institutions over there.” A few months before his death in 1990, Dahl stated outright that he was anti-Semitic in an interview with The Independent.
The British Royal Mint officially decided against issuing a commemorative coin to mark the 100th anniversary of his birth, noting that Dahl was “associated with anti-Semitism and not regarded as an author of the highest reputation”
After his death, the Dahl family issued a public apology for the hurt caused by his anti-Semitic statements. Dahl’s family “apologized unreservedly for the hurt and suffering" caused by Dahl and said, "Those prejudiced statements are in marked contrast to the values of kindness and inclusivity at the heart of Roald Dahl’s stories.”
Dahl’s children’s books aren’t considered notably anti-Semitic. However, his publishers—especially longtime editor Stephen Roxburgh—are credited with cutting racist and misogynistic content from some of his most famous stories, including The Witches, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and The BFG. For example, Dahl’s original portrayal of the Oompa-Loompas depicted them as African pygmies that Willy Wonka shipped to England “in large packing cases with holes in them,” Wonka explains that he found the Oompa-Loompas ‘in the very deepest and darkest part of the African jungle where no white man had ever been before.’ They were near starvation, living on vile caterpillars, so Wonka smuggled them to England for their own good,” The NAACP began protesting this depiction of the Oompa-Loompas, Dahl was apparently reluctant to rewrite the characters. But he did eventually revise the book, reimagining the Oompa-Loompas as “long-haired, rosy-cheeked, and white, hailing from the island of Loompaland.”

Stupid headlines, company is called Arrived, avoid it and encourage others to do the same.
If it’s still in business, apparently OP posted a two year old article?


A school full of little girls was just exploded. They are dead. Capitalism persists.


The way you play your music makes me feel good inside!
Homeschooled kids do things like base their opinions on, “I have heard” instead of citing empirical proof from rigorous sources.


She also took trump’s order to shoot Americans in the face and gave that same order to the masked proud boys on the payroll.
Nuremberg 2 for everyone


Markwayne checked his plumbing and didn’t like the condition of the pipes


Erases your fucking immune system essentially and can leaf to a brain infection that kills. Go read about Roald Dahl’s daughter. Bad guy, but a horrible fate for that innocent girl.


And of course there are many more, but these are pathological liars.


His face says, “I’ve got a RAGING clue right now…”

Agree in principal, but this would also require a justice system that punishes rape like cannibalism - which is essentially just murder with extra steps. So that’s a choice we’d have to make as a society.


She looks like a Guy Fawkes mask?



Left that one wide open for you


Please don’t reference our “collective alley” without the whole group’s consent.


Charliekirk and billionaires aren’t normal, Gavin. Stick to trolling trump and then drop out of the primary.


I’ll maintain it’s a false premise on your part. The trump-epstein files are covered as a whole right now, parties aside, anyone committing crimes documented in there should be investigated and prosecuted. I’ve not seen any on the left who speak against that. Outside of the files, with even the appearance of impropriety, Democrats typically lose their whole careers, even when they are otherwise important to the movement, e.g.Al Franken.
This blind spot doesn’t exist. What you’re responding to is likely the combination of your own social algorithms and the general lack of major perpetrators on the Democratic side RELATIVE to the republicans that Chiron them out like on a factory line - that’s speaking outside of this epstein moment, which again, no decent person has defended anyone in the files and especially not due to political affiliation.
Finally, any lack of clarity of information you feel is also just due to trump/bondi obfuscation of the files in the first place. If they were all released and could be analyzed and lists made, there would be no lack of discussion on all perpetrators. And you better bet that the rest I’d the three million files being withheld are predominately crimes of trump and republicans that they’ll try so hard to continue hiding that they’ll unilaterally start a way in the US’ name without support of its people or Congress.


Haha, the authority figures in this movie are fascists. And that famously goes right over the heads of ding dongs.
Well if, “analyst says” I guess we just pack it up, boys…
