I can get behind the, "corporations should be checked by government" line, but there is a clear moral line here. In this case, government is retaliating against an enemy organization for speaking out against its legislation. That is wrong. I don't care what the speech is or what side its on. Government attacking any entity over speech is unacceptable.
I agree firmly with what you're saying actually. If this situation is truly about Disney speech or activism against the government of Florida, I'm against the implications of that despite my opposition to what Disney is doing overall. If you're against this on that principle, I can agree with that.

but shouldnt this sudden embrace of disney be a fukking embarrassment for the left?

disney is a disgusting, evil, exploitative, low paying, polluting, greedy corporation. up until last month, disney was everything liberals supposedly hated :laff:

and that all changed overnight so that a few mentally ill individuals could keep teaching young kids about the wonderful world of being a tranny? :what:

Nah this is not about freedom of speech at all. The Corporations are lining up against freedom of speech Disney is one of them. Disney pushes U.S. government propaganda and the Republicans are mad about it because it doesn't benefit them. They don't give a damn about the first amendment themselves but they are nominally positioned now to "defend" it". The media now works in lockstep with the federal government and Disney is a powerful part of that media, so this is really Democrat vs Republican by a different name, not any ideological conflict.


What are you referring to when you say, "Disney pushes US government propaganda"?

The company that makes "Captain America" and other similar movies is 100% involved with pushing propaganda. All these movies paint the US military interventions in a positive light. There is extensive research about how Marvel movies along with other Disney movies are key to the manufacturing of consent of US foreign policy.

I can see your point and agree that such movies have an impact on American consent. But we might be using a different definition of propaganda. Do they make pro-military movies because they want to gain American consent or because pro-military movies make money? A movie where Captain America beats the Nazis or Ironman defeats muslim terrorists is going to appeal to the masses more than a movie that doesn't utilize a beloved American narrative.

Look at how Winter Soldier took on the military machine when the Iraq War became generally unpopular, or how Black Panther addressed American racism once that became the wave, and I'd say Disney is more trying to follow trends than create them.

Wouldn't Disney have to vote to give up their special district status in order for this to work?

Are you a black man? If so, you have bigger things to worry about then Disney pushing the Bussy agenda.

The rise of white nationalism racism is your main enemy as a black male.


Nothing is more dangerous.

Makes sense.



White Christian Nationalism is the biggest threat to black people over anything else in this country.

They want to empower vigilante violence against us


They want to empower police violence against us


They want the justice system to be extremely harsh against us

They want us to be economically subservient.


Basically they want the good ole days where we are kept in our places.



We are demonized above all others to galvanize their base .

This gonna be the last time I reply to you, because most of your posts give me a migraine. And I’m mostly posting so cats that are interested in this, and don’t live in central Florida, get the updates


The left has always embraced Disney. Do you have any idea how many employees are gay? Do you have any idea how popular Disney is in the gay community?


Tell me something.. what billion dollar company isn’t disgusting, evil and exploitative and all that other shyt you said? And nothing changed overnight. That bullshyt you’re saying is nothing but lies. Fine me a school.. ANY school in this state that’s teaching k-3rd graders ANYTHING about sex Ed.


Don’t bother. You won’t find one. This shyt is nothing but theatre to rile up the dumbest of dumb Americans, which happen to be part of the Republican Party. What’s next? You gonna call the lefties on here ‘groomers’ now? Because that’s yalls new word on twitter.

They’re either right winged, or they’re deeply.. I mean DEEPLY fukked in the head. Hell, it could be both.

This what you’re goin with? :gucci: I could say hollywoods pushing mercenary life with a movie like American assassin. Or I could say they’re pushing the drug lifestyle with movies like Blow, Scarface etc. Do you not see how ridiculous that sounds? You’re being mad for the sake of being mad. You’re being a karen. Or a fukkin Brent. And I know being miserable for the sake of being miserable. I’m a Jets fan.

Wouldn't Disney have to vote to give up their special district status in order for this to work?


That’s what the word is right now on the local news, so we’re gonna have to see what Disney’s next move is gonna be.

Less than 10% chance they’re black. I’ll just leave it at that.
