It was only taboo for a few hours.
Millions and millions of people have seen this famous* photo of the wild celebration of victory–of survival!–in World War II.
Well, some pinhead pencil-pusher, somewhere in the bowels of the bureaucracy, recently issued a memo ordering the photo of the sailor kissing the girl banned because it’s “non-consensual sexual harassment” or something (https://apnews.com/article/times-square-kiss-photo-veterans-affairs-memo-b24d5dba6930be867e9ac1be6dff16e5).
This went viral, millions of views on social media. Government spokeswoman has to say the memo was “unauthorized,” The Lyin’ Biden Administration hasn’t banned the photo, that was just some nimrod overstepping his bounds…
But why was this story so easy to believe, for so many people?
Are you kiddin’? The wokies are always tampering with history! Things that didn’t happen, happened, things that did happen, didn’t, and they make it all up as they go along, depending on the political needs of the moment. We have gotten used to being lied to! We are expected to believe things that most definitely are not so.
So yes, at the drop of the hat they’d ban that photo–which in fact some wokie in the Veterans Administration tried to do.
Truth itself is their prey.
*(Sorry, I don’t use the word “iconic.” For that you have to go everywhere else.)
I heard the Sec of the VA overruled that decision. I have seen that picture all my life and never noticed there was not any POCs in it – so what, it was in 1945.
That’s one of the happiest photos I’ve ever seen. I’ll agree, the young lady involved was probably taken my surprise, but I doubt that she minded.
Wokies are a plague.
They certainly are. I remember this photo so well from back then, and to me it looked like
a happy reunion and I saw similar happenings often in that era. You’d have to work hard
to find fault with this.
