One of the most basic things you do when you write a book, especially a children's book is to read what you've written outloud, to see if it flows properly and makes sense. This is like, primary school level writing advice.
With that in mind, how the fuck does one pronounce "Russionia" or read any of these lines.
Though one thing I find very interesting about conservative children's books, is that normally when presenting an issue to young children, you need to simplify it, so they can grasp it more easily and apply it to their lives. But Conservative books don't do this, they just replace their personal bugbears with talking animals or medieval knights and never actually simplify their message, it is always a 1:1 message because their ideas and thought process are so simplistic that they literally cannot simplify it anymore, or examine it and put it in a new context, because it is always just "(specific thing) that I don't like is bad."
I never thought of it that way but it's so true.
Then the Free Market Lion said to the children - "Taxation is theft and abject tyranny supreme if you know what I mean..."
Or PragerU's friendly Columbus being like "Actually I wasn't such a bad guy, and all this is normal for my time!"
It cannot be denied that Kindly Columbus provided the clueless and poor local people with something priceless. Their future progeny would enjoy the accrued benefits that only exist from extraction capitalism. What follows is a short but incomplete list of 87 examples...
The books aren't for children though, they're for them, so they can have all the trappings of modern existence but inside a smooth frictionless sphere of ideology.
Shakespeare literally used to refer to Russians as Muskovites, so I mean it was right there. But this would require Kash to read something that wasn't written in crayon.
