Tell me why your examples and Disney can't be dealt with at the same time?

Florida Republicans appear to be dealing with Disney just fine. Since Disney decided to stop giving them money.

Were Disney "groomers" when they were signing the checks?

Twitter is about to get freed and all the bad people are furious about it. Great start to the week.
Listening to some of these "White Supremist" outrage type I honestly don't know if they

a.) have no other card to play but they refuse to leave the table so.
b.) have played the card SO OFTEN that they have literally brainwashed themselves into believing it.
c.) are just waiting for someone else to parrot something more substantial they can weaponize and it hasn't happened yet.

It's almost surreal how they pretend to be concerned for free speech and one second later admit free speech is bad if it isn't THEIR free speech... which must of course mean it's vile and deserving of censorship,... talk about demoralized masses.

I am also amazed at how there is ALWAYS a justification by the masses on the left for the insane talking points/ideologies of the fringe far left. I have rarely encountered anyone on the political left these days (other than self identified Classic Liberals) who will admit to the lunacy, and distance themselves from the crazies.

Take the Elon Musk buyout of Twitter. He gives a clear explanation of Twitter's potential going forward and crucial role in fostering our Constitutional Republics high cultural value on Free Speech. Even this cannot be acknowledged as a good thing. Suddenly he has become a white supremacist or arguments are given that Twitter doesn't "have to" abide by the Free Speech guides of government. There seems to be almost no one on the left who will just acknowledge basic common sense in matters like these, at least not in my circles.

The propaganda machine at CNN+ dies quickly and in hilarious fashion and now Twitter has been freed from the grasp of activist liberals. This is great!!!

After about 70 years, why did Disney decide to become woke?

Well I am confused of the line where Culture begins and Media Matters ends, but the cutlural issus that seems like an 800 pound gorilla is
CELLPHONISM.

Too much cellphone, not enough kids at play
sedentary and insular
dwindling social and interpersonal skills UNLESS parents and grandparents overcompensate

there is more "shouting" and less true interaction
and there is a dwindling amount of interaction in small groups.

These are big changes.
I doubt they are good.
And they affect the gestalt of the culture

So Dave Chapelle was attacked last night mid show,… not a pep about the attacker or his motivations in any story I can find but plenty of stories all but saying Chapelle deserved it.

I’ve said for years now, our media is a huge, huge problem. They don’t report anymore,… everything is a side. Everything is a battle to be won

Wonder if the dude was mentally ill and/or went there with the intent of attacking Dave. The type of people who go to a Dave Chapelle show aren't the types who are gonna get particularly offended.

When the attacker or shooter looks a certain way, it generally doesn't get much media narrative. They like the attacker to fit a certain mold.

Can you imagine what narrative would have been run with between here and the mid-terms if the Washington D.C. livestream snipper was a "MAGA profile"?

Let me say that again. . . The Washington D.C. Livestream Snipper . . .

That's what I like best about Elon. He's not a "conservative" idiot and understands how to attack the left.

In what world do you live? billionaires, including a Swiss billionaire are bankrolling Dems. At least the chicks at CPAC aren’t 5 years removed from a dick saw.
