Welp, just surfaced on my YouTube feed ads: a right wing nutjob children's book series...

... The "Tuttle Twins", "written for freedom-loving parents", touted as an antidote to communist propaganda purveyed by the media and school system (seriously, the kids even even quote what they've been "taught" in Russian accents and wearing Soviet-era furred caps).

More horseshit to deal with, and now they're broadcasting their shit-eating stupidity.

Although, to be honest, they've been doing that for a while, they just haven't advertised kid's books for it before. On YouTube. Probably elsewhere, though.

That cuts out tracking and ads for websites.

Then, add this awesome plug-in for YouTube: Enhancer for YouTube


You can customize many things and it defaults to blocking all ads. You won't even see them.

No one is forcing socialism down kids throats, unlike them cramming proto-fascism into their kids minds.
