    So you can’t defend someone being persecuted by the government without it being bootlicking?

          Disney has destroyed copyright law, destroyed creativity, sucked all the monetary value out of their art, has the closest things to slavery in the US, and strong arms the government with their monopoly.

          Republicans are dumb as shit, but even broken clocks are right twice a day. If anyone is defending Disney at this point, they are willfully ignorant or putting their heads in the sand. People who are that dumb are the ones that fall to fascism because they are too distracted by the shiny things their corporate overlords put on TV.

          Fuck Disney and Fuck Disantis.

              Shoot I have to find it, gimme a minute.

              Tldr: in order to work at Disney world they force you to live in their housing, eat their food, and they set all the prices, and they pay as little as they can get away with. They also have their own police force and they regularly silence (By slandering and destroying job opportunities) anyone going to the media about the conditions inside Disney world. This is legal because of their stupid exception they had as a separate government entity (that apparently Florida is revoking now).

              I might take me a while to find as I have some IRL obligations at the moment.

              EDIT: I think it was just for the performers. They promise acting accolades to people who are very passionate for Disney, and are willing to live under bad conditions to have them on their resume. Dang it having trouble finding it right now. If anyone knows what I’m referring too go ahead and link it.

              I promise I’m not making this up, but unfortunately I can’t find it today. In the time I had I could only find fascist rhetoric and some tangentially related posts.

              I’m 99% sure it was either YouTube or a podcast. If I run into it later, I’ll come back and update.

          One’s a multibillion dollar corporation and the other’s a persecuted minority group. It’s just funny that of all the things to take issue with desantis, that community chose a lawsuit with Disney. Like c’mon get some perspective

            Why are you assuming this is the only thing they, or anyone else, takes issue with? You really don’t see the problem with the government singling out and getting revenge, even if it’s a company?

              It’s the thing they put on the sidebar and on the banner so I figured it’s the issue they consider most important, but you’re right it’s not necessarily the only thing they take issue with. I don’t really care what happens to Disney tho

              I hope Disney gets broken up into a dozen different companies. I hope it happens to many other companies as well. Ultimately, I hope we nationalise Disney and all private property without giving their owners a single cent. They’ll be happy to avoid the reeducation camps.

          I assume you don’t have unlimited time, and even if you do, defending one of the worst parts of US media oligopoly from somethng they barely even felt is still a waste of time.
