    All the hate for Biden was so vicious. The guy was mild af and barely did anything for them to complain about.

      Erm, achooillee, he tried to give debt relief to poor “people”, money personally taken by pet-eating illegal caravans from MY minimum wage paycheck that could have gone to my boss’s boss’s boss’s boss’s boss’s boss’s multi-billionare boss’s twelfth yacht fund before trickling down to ME. And he was SLEEPY.

      That’s a feature of fascism. Demonize the opposition no matter how moderate. Define them clearly and dehumanize them.

        They fired Kimmel to appease Trump and used Kirk as an excuse. And a piss poor excuse at that.

        This was inevitable since Colbert was canceled, assassination or not. They were just waiting for an excuse and jumped at the chance. But, with an excuse like this, appologizing statements that were never made, they may as well have said Kimmel ran away to live on a farm. That might have actually been more believable.

    Imagine if someone was driving around with this but it was Trump.

    They’d be pulled over repeatedly. Their vehicle would be vandalized.

      For all the talk about cancel culture, they sure love cancel culture. (And yes, I’m aware they’ve always been pro-cancel.)

      The right literally makes open threats constantly. Punisher stickers, 2A threats, promises of retaliation, etc. Should I have been calling their employers this whole time?

      Let this be an object lesson to everyone who thinks they’ll be spared because they aren’t radical enough.

        It is a pretty radical take though. Shooting Nazis has been, historically, effective. And celebrated. I’d go as far as to say not enough Nazis had been shot.

      This post is so tame and the reality of the matter is that I’m sure many people don’t think its monstrous to fight fascism. And by any means necessary when you have limited options. These people are the literal Nazi party of the modern age, and we are fucking tiptoeing around actually fighting back.

        Outside of the Leto casting, I liked what I saw in the trailers.

        And then Disney bent the knee.

        The gif of Switch dying in the Matrix would describe my current interest.

        I’ll spend those entertainment dollars on any book Jimmy Kimmel happens to have on sale.

          Granted I didnt see the trailers but I was there for the original. The premise seemed dubious. Get me the logic probe! Mind you now after the Kimmel thing they are dead to me. I won’t even pirate.

    How funny is that republicans will spread bigotry and say it is their free speech, also say “hate speech is free speech” but now they say this is a hate speech and get angry. For the record I did not celebrate his death, I do not feel bad that he is dead but do not celebrate.

      Conservatives only consistent value is basically “no one can tell me what to do. I can tell you what to do”. In-groups to protect, out-groups to bind

    I’m not too proud to admit that I’ve been traumatized by a Disney adult. So, while I haven’t truly been boycotting Disney, knowing the type of people who support them in general, I wanted no part in that. And then they had the audacity to besmirch Star Wars AND super heroes? FUCK THEM.

    But in all seriousness, I was a kid when I realized that Disney stuff gives me really creepy vibes, and I haven’t quite shaken that since. I “cut the cord” years ago, so my network TV exposure is basically the channels I receive over the air, and ABC is one of a limited number of selections that I can receive out here in rural America. It’s super creepy and irksome that all the news reporters have to have that cheery, overly saccharine disposition to the point where they’re practically jovial as they deliver the news that dozens of children were killed in record breaking floods. And then after the next commercial break, they’re talking about the latest Disney movie or TV show like that kind of shit is actual news? No thank you.

    So, I suppose the wall of text I’ve just written serves no purpose other than to recognize that Disney, like all companies in the USA, is basically just another automaton to weaponize by the federal government because the people that run them have no spine and honestly seem to believe that they’ll be spared if they make Empire happy. Good luck with that.
