It's interesting, because in my "nearest city", which is one of the most left-wing in the country, with an EXTREMELY left wing council, they scrapped the annual Christmas carol event in 2017, which had been going for like, more than 50 years, and which I myself had PERFORMED IN, blaming "costs" and "ticketing issues"...
It was one of the biggest events in the city's calendar. When I was younger they had SO MANY PEOPLE that they moved it to a much bigger (outdoor, it's summer here) venue to fit all the thousands of people in...
Then they fucked it by making it "ticketed" and charging people entry. Then the next year they scrapped it altogether. What's funny though is that now, when you search it up, the council and media doesn't even mention it anymore, except as a "historical" event, that used to happen.
Now, they just provide "grants" to suitably "woke" Christmas "events", such as Latino Christmas songs by the beach, which has NO history here, may or may not contain any carols at all, and is taking place in a city with probably less than 1000 Latinos TOTAL... Absolutely feral...
Back in 2017, I thought it was bullshit, but the council made the argument of "costs" and "providing alternatives". Now, in 2021, this same fucking council is spending almost the same amount of money on "art projects" which cover up a statue which "offends" the Abos (for historical "reasons"), and has fucking BANNED the "alternatives", such as by the Catholic Church, which still offered "traditional carols", all in the name of "Coof prevention"...
War on Christmas? Complete. Solid history of something the public fucking LOVED..? Completely memory-holed, with zero mention of it in the media, and a complete refusal for the council to even respond to public comments about it.
Absolutely insane. DO NOT let this happen in your communities, towns and cities, folks. Because once it is gone, it is NEVER fucking coming back. :'-(
This is all very good local information that helps prove a global pattern, and as you said I'm afraid it's going to get memory-holed by just being on this board and disappearing in the archives. You should start a blog or substack or something.
