So we're ALL on the same page here: Walt Disney himself was, along with many other rich white fucks of the day, an open supporter of the Reich, and just like many of them as well, he continued supporting his team long after it was passé — simply by distracting the starry-eyed masses with more shiny. Ford, Coke, the whole lot.
We are livestock to them. Human Resources is just fresh title for the age-old playbook, How To Serve Man. 🤌🏼
I'm watching Andor S2, since it's finally done and available as one package. I'm pretty sure there's a Walt Disney allegory where they have a marketing/entertainment character advising The Empire. I feel like you don't do this by accident.
It's pretty crazy that what that show has been allowed to do, because Disney is normally shit and tries to protect themselves and hide their history.
You give me much credit, especially considering I was stoned AF when I swiped that one out (though, I still completely agree with past-me) in lieu of proper sleep. To be accurate, the masterful stroke belongs to you for pointing this out, in fact.
I love it as a multi-layered continuance of the brand's ^Empire's^ flagship values — and America's timeless sweetheart: daddy issues!
I'll be honest, I couldn't shake the image of Dr. Venture, Sr. outta my head with one of the ad-men, and the other made me wonder if he was that kid from The Sandlot, all grown up. (NGL, as soon as those two started winding up that reskinned Democracy® pitch, I knew the writers were swinging for the nosebleeds, so I may've wandered a bit.)
Incredible chops in the room, though, and the whole goddamned series!
Thanks for the rabbit hole, btw! 🤘🏼🤓
What do you mean by News Max onboarding - did Disney buy NewsMax?! ..or am I misunderstanding?
Disney is a corporation, therefore it is fascist as long as fascism is profitable.

I was looking for a reason to drop Disney+
everyone is bending the knee now, and y'all should be scared. rich people with loud voices don't normally shut up when there's shit to be said. something else is going on here, and we're not privy to it.
You have more faith in humanity than me. I think it's plenty normal for people to bend the knee to what they think will keep them safe and wealthy and it's not their own sacrifice.
So now we just know who they think is gonna win.
Who they think, only one side is fighting the other is like maybe my peaceful protest on the weekend we'll help this time. It's a war that the left has already conceded defeat. Like project 2025 said the next revolution we'll be bloodless if the left allows it.
you're saying the idea i am knowingly trying to fight. maybe it's the hand i write with, maybe it's my ideas, but i've always been gauche.
and we should fight nihilism and hedonism like our very future depends on it. look at the stats. and i'm the last person you'd want to encourage to reproduce, and yet here we are.
where are we? white people (i'm white, too) don't understand genes.
Threats to family and friends, most likely.
yeah, it's gonna get rough. saw something tonight about how one side always underestimates the scum tactics from the other. fill in the blanks.
tick tock on the clock
grocer blow my prices up
let's fight for the right
to just have some fucking rights

"You women talk about women's issues, but don't mention the cause of the issues" - Asshole conservative.
The View is now irrelevant. If people can't trust that the staff aren't being forced to spew propaganda, or they're being censored - then they won't watch. They need to stand up to the corpos, or the show is already pre-cancelled because of irrelevancy.
He needs to tone it down himself on the Trump mushroom gobbling.
Walt Disney would never have endorsed this except in his 1938 cartoon “Nazi Superheroes are Our Superiors.”

I found a bunch of his propaganda from back then, still have them too
Subscription cancelled
God dammit I subscribe to Disney. Do I have to sail the seas
Yes, the answer is always yes.
yes I well not give Disney any money. Their movie costs are so bloated.
The Jolly Roger is the only way.
But everything Trump does is just so bashable!
They're basically be canning themselves up so the raiders will have a nice setup when they invade. They're doing all the prep work. I know I'll survive.
The main character always survives.
Meh, I'm not the main character, I'm shooting for finally cutting loose. You behave your entire life, the second the rules are gone, it's going to be Fallout baby.
Let's all point our vaginas and manginas towards our great Orange leader. He'll know what to do best.
