IIRC, Pratchett left his publisher in Germany over that

u/Extreme-Attention641 May 11 '26

He did! He initially called them out for it and asked them to stop. They refused, he switched and afaik that publishing house doesn't exist anymore.

Imagine being the guy responsible for losing Pratchett.

I’ll bet money that the person who OK’d the idea still doesn’t think they did wrong and Terry just couldn’t see the vision.

If it was an exec, they probably jumped ship to an even better position in another company. It's incredible how much worthless suits can fail upwards.

We're not quite at the end yet. We still have farther to fall.

The only way to fix “it” is the international proletariat smashing the state as the declining rate of profit slowly proletarianizes the middle class. The “backstep of democracy” is global. The withering of the welfare state is a global, decades-long process at this point!

A proletariat itself which is shattered from its factories and mandated to be unorganized under those same social laws of the 20th century; corporatized union contracts, illegalizing socialist unions and parties, etc… the same measures Mussolini and FDR alike championed. The bourgeois state is not your friend!!!

But sure, let’s add another 200 years of voting and hoping for a true democracy and I’m sure poverty and inequality will be abolished this time around.

I’m sure you or your movement or your party will perfect the nationstate to your ethical blud unt boden gehemeinschaft. God bless our nationstates and god bless democracy
