Leftists Are Angry That LEGO Hasn’t Virtue Signalled Hard Enough
It only pulled ads for LEGO cops, not the actual toys themselves; Woke warriors argue that there are too many cops in LEGO City

Mentally deranged leftists are angry that toy maker LEGO hasn’t acted woke enough after the company clarified that it had only withdrawn advertising for certain products associated with police and not the toys themselves, while others seriously argued that there are too many LEGO police in LEGO City.
Like many other companies, LEGO attempted to glom on to the unrest as a way of virtue signalling. The company asked affiliates to stop all marketing of the LEGO City playsets that included police officers, as well as first responders.
The Toy Book noted that an email from LEGO requested “removal of product listings and features for more than 30 LEGO building sets, Minifigures, and accessories that include representation of police officers, firefighters, criminals, emergency vehicles, and buildings. Sets include the LEGO City Police Station, Fire Station, Police Dog Unit, Patrol Car, Fire Plane, Mobile Command Center, Police Highway Arrest, and many more. Even the LEGO City Donut Shop Opening set — which includes Police Officer “Duke DeTain” and “Crook” Minifigures — roleplay items including a Police Handcuffs & Badge Set, and the adult builder LEGO Creator version of The White House made the removal list.”
LEGO then set about a “blackout” virtue signalling effort, as many other companies have:

But the company soon had to clarify that it wasn’t pulling any actual products from shelves, after confusion arose:
We’ve seen incorrect reports saying we’ve removed some LEGO sets from sale. To be clear, that is not the case and reports otherwise are false. Our intention was to temporarily pause digital advertising in response to events in the US. We hope this clears things up. ♥️

When hyperventilating leftists realised that the huge multinational company wasn’t actually removing any toys all hell broke loose:
Oh, well, never mind all the goodwill you had suddenly. https://t.co/8FsPKle0Uy

Stop selling the cop sets. That would have been the right move.

I hate to think how much we have spent on LEGO for our kids, grandkids and others over the years. NO MORE. NONE

Some rational people who just like LEGO tried to inject some reason into the matter:
1/2 Why? I’m black and my husband is a cop. Our son looks up to his dad everyday and loves building/playingwith his LEGO police sets. We even built a nice police area in our LEGO City as a family to honor my husband who works extremely hard. I joined Twitter to

2/2 connect with the LEGO community, and it’s so sad to see this is what it has turned into.

Get woke. Go broke.

Not good enough, LEGO didn’t virtue signal hard enough:
I tweeted about LEGO possibly pulling their police themed sets and that was incorrect. Sorry about spreading false information. I am deleting that previous tweet. But also, hey @LEGO_Group maybe pull all your police themed sets! https://t.co/TK3AJ1Ob3y

Here's an opportunity to do the right thing and remove police-themed sets from sale.
— Meg – Staying At Home Forever (@geo_megs) June 4, 2020
I came here to congratulate you on removing police Lego, now I am sad again.
— Imperial News (@imperialnewz) June 4, 2020
Others argued that there are too many LEGO cops in LEGO city:
Shame. Lego City sets come with so many police that the Lego City has more police than civilians. Would be nice if Lego focused on other aspects of urban life. They're generally a good, ethical company. It's a shame they can't see an avenue for action here. https://t.co/3VntX72mXR
— Michael Bell 🐝 (@MBellLabCoop) June 4, 2020
How about decreasing the frankly huge number of police themed sets under the City banner in future years, replacing them with more medic based sets? Our doctors, nurses and first responders are heroes, and can promote positive play patterns among your young fans. Change it up. 🙏

Reality check: LEGO City isn’t a real city.
If this is real then God help us:
I’m scheduled to be in LegoLand next week. I can’t get a refund on my accommodations, but don’t expect me to spend my usual 2-3k in your park/dining/shops. Y’all stink for this and I’m gonna make sure every Lego Citizen I see gets to hear about it.

Then, inevitably…
Can you please make more brown LEGOs? When I got married, we had to go to three different LEGO stores and couldn’t find a brown face for our cake topper. I ended up having to use Storm instead. pic.twitter.com/Fg42PUFb75

Maybe this is the way to go:
Police LEGO sets come with criminals so your kid can role-play as the criminal. Problem solved!

When can I purchase the “rioted democratic city” Lego kit? It would be pretty cool building fallout style destroyed cities.

Rock Bottom: Boulder To Be Removed After Students Complained It Is Racist
Let’s get the rock outta here!
Published

19 November, 2020Steve Watson
A large rock in the campus of Wisconsin-Madison University is to be removed after the student’s union there declared that it is racist.
Not content with removing statues of actual people, the woke mob has now seemingly turned its attention to inanimate objects.
It appears that some bright spark unearthed a news clipping from the 1920s that referred to the large rock as a “n***erhead,” and all hell broke loose.
The Wisconsin State Journal reports:
UW-Madison is moving forward on a plan to remove a boulder from Observatory Hill after calls from students of color who see the rock as a painful reminder of the history of racism on campus.
The 70-ton boulder is officially known as Chamberlin Rock in honor of Thomas Crowder Chamberlin, a geologist and former university president. But the rock was referred to at least once after it was dug out of the hill as a “n***erhead,” a commonly used expression in the 1920s to describe any large dark rock.
[…]
The Wisconsin Black Student Union called for the rock’s removal over the summer. President Nalah McWhorter said the rock is a symbol of the daily injustices that students of color face on a predominantly white campus.
[…]
McWhorter also faulted the Wisconsin State Journal for printing the vulgarity in a 1925 news article.
The report notes that the press clipping from 95 years ago was the only time that anyone has ever referred to the rock using the term.
As Def Leppard famously posited in their 1992 number one hit, ‘Let’s get the rock outta here!’
The university’s campus planning committee voted unanimously that the boulder should be removed, but has not worked out what they are going to do with it.
Perhaps they should put it in a museum along with other racist horrors including (but not limited to) The US Constitution, Any term with the word ‘black’ in it, Chess, Vikings, Clowns, SpongeBob Squarepants, and time itself.

Study Warns That New Work From Home Trend is Making People More “Racist”
People who live in more diverse communities were “more likely to be negative towards ethnic diversity.”

A new study being promoted by the mass media claims that working from home makes people more “racist” because they are less exposed to ‘diversity’ in the workplace.
The survey, conducted by polling company Survation for the Woolf Institute, “warns that without alternative settings to offices being set up, opportunities for social mixing between different religious and ethnic groups will be greatly reduced,” according to the BBC.
76 percent of those who work in shared offices in the UK are exposed to ethnic diversity, meaning those who work from home are isolated from such a setting and as a result more likely to be “prejudiced,” according to the study.
37 percent of unemployed people are also more likely to only have friends from their own ethnic group.
With huge numbers of people now working from home due to coronavirus restrictions, 44 percent of the workforce in the UK, this presents a conundrum for technocrats overseeing a “Great Reset” that seeks to restructure capitalism.
“Academia, long removed from scientific breakthrough and existential exploration, has seemingly become an industry dedicated to the relentless pursuit of racism, wherever it may dwell,” writes Graham Dockery.
“The Woolf Institute studies relations between faiths and ethnicities in the UK, and wouldn’t exist if it couldn’t root out ever more bizarre instances of prejudice to publicize.”
Interestingly enough, the study also concedes that people who live in more diverse communities were “more likely to be negative towards ethnic diversity.”
In other words, people who are actually exposed to ‘diversity’ don’t find it to be a “strength” and don’t like it.
This correlates with a 2019 peer reviewed study by Danish academics which found that ethnic diversity has a negative impact on communities because it erodes trust.
Seeking to answer whether “continued immigration and corresponding growing ethnic diversity” was having a positive impact on community cohesion, the study found the opposite to be the case.
So diversity really isn’t a strength after all, but our new technocratic overlords are going to force you to embrace it anyway.

Hypocrite: CNN’s Jake ‘McCarthy’ Tapper Wrote Book About Election Being ‘Stolen’ In 2000
Clearly his own future employment wasn’t affected by contesting an election

CNN anchor Jake Tapper, who suggested Monday that anyone contesting the election due to voter fraud should be ostracised, himself penned an entire book about the ‘plot’ to steal the election in the year 2000.
As noted by Ben Domenech of The Federalist, Tapper’s book presented evidence that both George W. Bush and his Democrat rival at the time Al Gore both engaged in efforts to fraudulently secure victory.
2020 Jake Tapper: I, as CNN's precious flower and conscience of media, order you to drop any allegations of election fraud as it is anti-American and worthy of losing your job just for retweeting
2000 Jake Tapper: I write book for moneys BUSH STOLE IT ALL pic.twitter.com/cmTEwCRpQG
— Ben Domenech (@bdomenech) November 10, 2020
The sheer hypocrisy is palpable.
When he wrote the book, Tapper was working for leftist outlet Salon, before he was tapped up as a White House correspondent by ABC News and eventually a host of his own show by CNN.
So clearly his own future employment wasn’t affected by contesting an election.
Tapper suggested in a tweet Monday that Trump supporters who won’t accept defeat should experience problems with “future employers.”
2/ I mean, I don’t expect the ride-or-die crew to listen to me, but …
“So, it says here on your resume that you drove a sex offender to testify at Four Seasons Total Landscaping, north of the Tacony-Palmyra bridge…”
— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) November 9, 2020
Tapper’s assertions led to charges from conservatives that “Joe McCarthy would be proud”:
"You need to stop legally contesting the election… I mean, that's a nice career you got there. Be a shame if anything happened to it."
Joe McCarthy would be proud. https://t.co/B7IQVeDjkd

Others noted that judgement of character is very much based on whether a person stands up to potential wrong-doing or not:
A person’s character can also be revealed in how they stand firm on their principles. How they remain vigilant in the face of potential wrong-doing and shine a might on illegal activity. How they remain loyal to those who were loyal to them, even though they are put on lists. https://t.co/7F0SFn4U4I
— Chris Loesch (@ChrisLoesch) November 9, 2020
Author and comedian Tim Young enquired whether Tapper is also adding conservatives to a shit-list like socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez:
Jake, are you making a list like AOC to make sure people who disagree with you politically lose their jobs?
Seems like you're pushing a veiled fascist threat here.
— Tim Young (@TimRunsHisMouth) November 9, 2020
Is anyone archiving these Trump sycophants for when they try to downplay or deny their complicity in the future? I foresee decent probability of many deleted Tweets, writings, photos in the future
