A children’s bookstore in Montreal features these books at $36CAD a pop:
The best thing is that the books have very little text. Here’s a random page:
This is the perfect embodiment of the boutique leftist philosophy of life. It’s expensive, pompous but completely empty.
Wow! Who’d have thought that people would buy indoctrination manuals straight from a bookshop and that capitalism would co-opt Neo-Marxism just like any other trendy fashion? If someone had told me thirty years ago that it would come to this I would have said they were bonkers.
And still, I have an inkling that my former friends in the Socialist Workers Party (ranging in ages from 60 to 90) are not satisfied yet. I wonder why that is…
What is the abyss like that is being prepared for us? Can it get even more dystopian?
Yep, us western ignerint rednecks always kinda suspected this ;-D

I cannot explain it but I am extremely creeped out by these so-called books, especially when they “identify” as kids’ books. Eerie!

A kids book about sexual abuse? What is the situation under which one would buy something like this? If a child has been sexually abused, isn’t a book a bit of a weird thing to try to repair the damage?

“A kids book about sexual abuse?”
I would bet… a lot, that the sub-text is “you’re nobody till you’ve been sexually abused, so this is how you go about it….”
Some years ago feminists were trying to turn rape into a sacrement that all women should experience (not what they said they were doing, but….. what they were doing).
Same vibes…
That’s very insightful. I didn’t think of it myself but it sounds spot on.

There was a lot of literature directed at teens and twentysomethings when I was young, ‘exploring’ the subject of child abuse more generally. The outcome of that trend, intentional or not, seemed to be a sort of fad for everybody combing through their childhoods looking for the abuse. Because clearly, that was the way to have a dramatic life story. The essential element.
These days it’s some kind of gender confusion or racial discrimination, I suppose.
