And this is the problems with liberals when it comes to fascism. They try to find a middle ground between “let the fascists trample free speech,” a right on which their entire ideology is founded (or so they say), and “don’t upset the fascists.”
That is a lose-lose. If you refuse to piss off fascists, you support the fascists. Capitalist institutions won’t ever side with us. Because their market relies on fascists to watch, which they clearly say here.
Disney can easily redeem itself if it chooses to:
Reinstate Jimmy Kimmel.
Make ABC news report accurately, regardless of how the president feels about it.
Take down the fascist instead of propping him up, and I might even violate my vow to never travel to the United States again to visit Disneyland (because fuck Florida).
Disneyland is in California. DisneyWorld is in Florida.
Disneyland is in California. DisneyWorld is in Florida.
Yes.
That is why I said Disneyland, and not DisneyWorld.
I even took a swipe at Florida in my comment.
Also, I have been to Disneyland, and assume that it didn't move since I've been there.
But thanks for clearing things up I guess?
Oh I totally misread your comment. That's on me.
I still can't see how to read it differently, so don't feel too bad.
I might even violate my vow to never travel to the United States again to visit Disneyland (
not disneyworldbecause fuck Florida).
Ohhhh, its "I might even violate my vow to (never travel to the United States again) to visit Disneyland"
instead of "I might even violate my vow to (never travel to the United States again to visit Disneyland)"
My bad
They're going to Disneyland (because they're not going to the Florida, Disney World, because fuck Florida)
No, it's on them. The wording is ambiguous and could be read either way.
Your comment was ambiguously worded and easily could read as if you thought Disneyland was in Florida. I don't care about any of this, just elucidating where the confusion between you two happened

You've put a lot of thought into being tangential.
The critical part of the messaging is what Disney must do to right the ship.
Put Kimmel on Disney+, FCC can’t touch him there
Case in point: Fox News
Crisis mode? They bent the knee, what did they expect to happen?
I don’t believe Disney is actually in “crisis mode.” ABC is such a small part of the conglomerate that this sounds like a fantasy world.
Disney+, not ABC, is losing hoards of Subscribers.. That's what is triggering the crisis.
Some kind of fairytale?
Too late, already cancelled that shit and will seed everything I can
I'm willing to support corporations standing up to Trump, because unfortunately we need it.
It's easy: you just cancel your own cancellation. The admin only has that power over you because you immediately rolled over and gave it to them
Seriously what's hard to figure out?
Might be the part where they have to get Jimmy Kimmel to buy the "baby I've changed, please give me another chance" routine.
Fair point!
ABC pulled the show after the two biggest owners of ABC affiliate stations refused to air it. It's Nexstar and Sinclair they need to deal with, unless they're ok with bringing the show back while it still won't actually air in most of the country. What they should probably do is get their legal team on it, since the Supreme Court ruled what Carr is doing illegal last year in NRA vs Vullo.
Maybe pulling ALL from Nexstar and Sinclair could be a good way.
If the Supreme Court cared about precedent that might work.
They could return the show and drive attention to Nextstar and Sinclair
Hmmm. You know it's odd. In my head I thought "you know, if 1 million people cancel their Disney + / Hulu / HBO accounts, that's an immediate $10-25m/month of lost revenue. Annually that's a $120m/$300m a year loss if they never resubscribe."
So I unsubscribed immediately.
If the number is 10m, that's billions lost because of one subsidiary they own stifling free speech.
If I was a large shareholder, I would be able to predict this loss as soon as it happened. And dump/buy puts on Disney.
If Disney IS in crisis mode, then a boycott has happened.
A mass uncoordinated boycott is far more powerful to public companies than anything. I am excited to see what happens now.
Not to mention guilds are considering striking over it, and I don't blame them this is a threat to their livelihood too. Losing customers and on top of that not having people working? They only just got over the last strike
Maybe they shouldn’t have kowtowed to Trump. Twice. That we know of.
I'm curious about the numbers. A lot of people said they would cancel Netflix but their numbers only went up after they killed password sharing.
Thats because people had to actively create more accounts in order to continue with the service they already had, so those would cancel out the canceled subscriptions. This is a different situation entirely.
Netflix numbers went up mostly in “new and emerging markets” where the subscriptions are cheap.
disney should pull the affiliations from nexstar and sinclair stations and give them to local independent stations.
back the fasch get the bash.
raise hell praise dale.
Too late. I'mma be watchin' shit on Jellyfin.
stremio for me, but yes. definitely. I cancelled my disney+ sub yesterday.
FUCK DISNEY!
FIRE THE ENTIRE EXECUTIVE TEAM.
lol too late. bring him back all you want, I ain't paint for your shit anymore.
Shit, All this time I thought they only took money.
