Via The Blue State Conservative
I think the Disney Corporation hasn’t been paying close enough attention to the culture war. That war hasn’t been going very well for the left, yet Disney somehow thinks it can win where others have failed. It has decided to engage in the war for our children.
Last year, schools across the country informed parents that what was taught to children (or how they were groomed) was none of the parent’s business. They would continue to teach critical race theory (CRT) and normalize gender dysphoria – and the parents had better stay out of it, or else.
Loudon County Virginia became the poster child for nationwide radicalism in schools. They were letting boys, pretend to be girls, to facilitate sexual assaults, on school property. They even went so far as to have a father arrested, for attempting to bring to public light that his daughter had been raped in a school bathroom by one such transgender “girl.”
When the National School Boards Association suggested that protesting parents should be treated as criminals – and the FBI decided to give them some help with that – the exposure of the conflict went nationwide and triggered a counter-revolution. The left gravely underestimated the protectiveness of mama and papa bear.
In support of parents, conservative politicians began to run on a parental rights platform. Glenn Youngkin’s gubernatorial win and conservative wins in countless school board and local elections across the country last year are credited to the movement that protesting parents created.
Numerous states passed various forms of anti-CRT legislation. They either banned its teaching outright or defunded schools that promoted it.
The Florida legislature has just passed the “Parental Rights in Education Bill.” It pushes back against the normalization of gender dysphoria in school, by making it illegal for teachers to discuss sexuality with children in kindergarten through the third grade. That legislation was far too radical for the radicals to ignore. It drew a nationwide response, with overwhelming condemnation from the left, and overwhelming support from parents.
Factoid: There are far more parents than leftist nuts in America – Surprise!
The culture war wasn’t going well for the left, so the Disney Corporation decided to see if it could turn the tide. Disney’s management decided to come out against Florida’s anti-sexual grooming law (sorry libs, that’s more accurate than “don’t say gay”). The corporation has announced its full opposition to the law – because it, like the schools, thinks it knows what is better for children than their parents.
But, if you’re going to engage in a war, you might as well go all in – and Disney did. They also announced a commitment to use more gay themes in their children’s programming – because you know … they’d rather subvert kids than make money.
So, the happiest place on earth, that makes mad stacks of cash from parents, to entertain their kids, has made a strategic (strategic but not smart) decision. It will take the side of leftist radical nuts, against the very parents that it makes those mad stacks from – smart.
As an admiral destined for defeat (Isoroku Yamamoto) once said, “I fear we have awakened a sleeping giant and filled him with a terrible resolve.” That pretty much describes what Disney has done. It kicked a sore spot in the American body politic and triggered some consequences it didn’t expect. I won’t call them unanticipated consequences, because they were only unanticipated to a company that was too stupid to see the obvious.
The state of Florida has decided to reconsider the preferential treatment it has given the Disney Corporation since the 1960s. It turns out that Disney has benefitted from a number of legal and financial benefits not given to any other company in Florida. Under Ron DeSantis’ leadership, the state is putting some brainpower into thinking about if that’s really best for the state.
Disney employees are also starting to push back. It turns out that Disney employs more parents than radicals – even though the parents tend to be more restrained that their screaming commie lunatic employee subset. They’re sending anonymous (for now) letters protesting Disney’s new LGBTQ-friendly direction. They’re also (and I didn’t see this coming) leaking stuff. We’re suddenly getting treated to recordings of management discussing plans to incorporate gay themes in children’s cartoons and movies. We’re also starting to hear snippets about the number of Disney employees who have been implicated in child molestation. It turns out that employees who know where all of the skeletons are hidden aren’t necessarily on board with the company’s new direction.
Here’s one consequence that Disney should have anticipated, but apparently didn’t. Parents are beginning to take their business elsewhere. Who could have seen that coming? Disney apparently thought that they could slap their customers in the face, and their customers couldn’t do anything about it. But Disney isn’t the airline industry. It turns out customer satisfaction factors into a parent’s decision to shell out a couple of hundred bucks for mouse-themed gear. What Disney apparently forgot was that it’s in the entertainment business – and spending doesn’t get any more discretionary than spending for entertainment. Their customers are customers by choice and nothing else.
A recent poll conducted by the Convention of State Action and Trafalgar found that 68 percent of voters are less likely to do business with Disney as a result of its pro-grooming strategy. 69% of those voters said they will support family-friendly alternatives to Disney for their entertainment.
Disney apparently thought it could get away with a shift in its core values because parents had nowhere else to go. But in a capitalist economy, “nowhere else to go” translates to “market opportunity” for someone else!
And that’s where The Daily Wire comes in. Disney created a market opportunity for a competitor, and The Daily Wire stepped right into the opening.
The Daily Wire was launched in 2015 by Jeremy Boreing and Ben Shapiro. It has become one of America’s fastest-growing conservative media companies, and it just announced that it’s moving into the family-friendly programming market – at Disney’s unintentional invitation.
The Daily Wire has committed to spending $100 million on family-friendly programming. It’s a small start. But with 7 out of 10 of Disney’s customers vowing to support Disney alternatives, it’s also a smart start. As Boreing has said about his business pursuits:
“If they want to keep sending money our way, we’ll take it.”
Every child learns not to touch a hot stove after getting burned once. But the people who think that socialism will work if we just give it one more try, aren’t that smart. The left tried to push CRT on our children – and got burned. Then the left tried to push transgenderism on our children – and got burned. Now Disney has decided to climb up on a stool and touch the stove to see what happens. We’ll see how that works for them. I only wish I could buy stock in The Daily Wire. But unfortunately, it’s wholly owned by its greedy, and smart, founders.

And that’s just Disney’s customers.
Now tell us about Disney’s shareholders.
The degenerate rat has to go.
DegeneRat. Dude, you were so close.
That vile, ever sneering Rat needs to have its visage placed upon the stovetop and kept down on the burner long enough to render the corrupt imaginary kangdom’s image permanently seared, smoked and branded for the $atanic scum it is.
Not defending Disney, but they may have chosen the path that hurts their bottom line LESS than if they’d stuck with social normalcy. Not saying they did the right thing morally, but they might have done the right thing financially. Hear me out. Disney isn’t just about kids’ movies and theme parks. (I’ve never been to any of their parks, by the way.) Disney is an entertainment mega corporation that has a streaming service, is a film studio that produces a variety of films as well as other “product”. The sad fact is that Hollywood as a whole is a giant pit of degeneracy. If Disney hadn’t protested Florida’s law and pledged fealty to gaydom, their entire workforce of writers, directors, actors, producers, digital editors, promotions people etc. would do a walkout. The one thing that Hollywood reveres above all else is sexual degeneracy. Disney can survive a drop in theme park attendance. It can’t produce its product without the perverts staying on the job.
You are correct, but that’s the problem now, isn’t it? We’re a society without morals, beliefs, & conviction. Money & wealth are the bottom line, no matter what.
To quote GNL…it’s about greed. Last I heard that was a sin. It’s a fallen world.
AA,
I’m so glad you agree. G.R.E.E.D is the most destructive human trait.
I agree with you a lot, even when you get a ton of downvotes. 🙂
Correct. Disney chose money. The premise of this article was that they were going to lose money by irking traditional Americans. I was taking issue with that calculation.
You may be right, many Disney employees complained to the CEO. He folded and attacked the FL law.
Problem for CEO, other employees may not be happy with Gay centic leadership, the stock is one of the worst performers the past 12 months, and now the media is calling for Bob Iger to come back. He will get paid millions to leave. Not bad when one F’s up.
This article attempts to leave the reader feeling like things are going well…or at least getting better. Not true.
“The left tried to push CRT on our children – and got burned. Then the left tried to push transgenderism on our children – and got burned.”
Got burned? Not true.
“The culture war wasn’t going well for the left…”
Not true.
Also, just because your state may have passed anti-CRT legislation doesn’t mean it’s being followed in the schools & by teachers. They WILL do what they want, regardless of law. Don’t be naive.
Quite right! Aren’t the teachers’ unions very much IN to the whole ‘grooming’ thing? Maybe if it’s actually against the LAW, there may be some serious repercussions that could rein in the enthusiastic Lefties?
“Folks, our only solutions will have to come from our own people.”
And that starts with talking about it. I visited my parents Friday night. They both have 1 foot in the grave and the other foot on a banana peel.
My sister and her 3 sons (15, 19 and 21) were there also. Every chance I get, I talk about what is being done to straight, white, Christian males. I do not mince words. I was very happy when my 19 yo nephew said, right in front of his mother, that my sister told him not to bring a black girlfriend home. I laughed my ass off. Then he said he’s attracted to white girls anyway. I told him that, in no way surprises me. Interracial couples are mostly white, fat and/or ugly girls with black guys.
One nephew told me I was racist. I told him I simply love white people and stand up for them because society is trying to destroy us.
My father called me the next day and thanked me profusely for my visit.
Btw, I’m taking all 3 of my nephews shooting this upcoming mother’s day. Good times, good times.
SPEAK UP, MY PEOPLE!!!
Until we collectively step off the “Company” knowledge reservation with both feet and stay off there is no hope of an “Our own People”.
Here is a splendid starting point. One of the best in fact because it will kick you in the gut.

Hear Hear! And worth repeating : When Khazarians control both sides, the truth lies elsewhere (to paraphrase).
“Thou shall not kill” . No Prohibition against imprisonment. Fence in some of the most feasible cities, throw ’em in and let them work their magic from the inside. Strictly monitor everything in/out.
d.c. could be a model town. Of course, there may be as many as a dozen ‘innocents’…a few even escaped Sodom, so hope springs eternal.
The rest of them? never return home for any reason, other than diminishing campaign appearances, only leave washington to go on taxpayer funded vacations, bull-crap ‘symposiums’ photo-ops/wall-kissing, or wall construction, IN OTHER COUNTRIES.
“Thou shall not murder.”
Yes indeed. That’s another one of the Edomite oopsis my pen slipped back when they created the just for dumb guilty white boys Masoretic text.
Has anyone noticed the level of outrage for these monsters praying on our children is room temperature at best. What is our line in the sand? when do the torches get lit and the wrath begins? Me thinks if this doesn’t do it, nothing will. There are some very high profile people that should be petrified to show their face in public and should be made public examples of, of what happens when they fuck with the our children…. Crickets. The people need to organize and bring this fight right to their front door, One can only hope. It should start in the halls of government then on ward to the schools and places like Disney. Burn it all to the fucking ground. If not this, then what?
Excuse my passion on this, but it really pisses me off. Feeling pretty inert.
WE won’t rebel. We’re totally Jewholmed. 70+ years of demoralizing propaganda has left the country curled up in the fetal position.
It’s a stealth tax bail out from the whaling wall Gov to the insouciant peasants, they disserve everything they get and then some.
The same filth that ran Hollywood created Disney because there was a Christian backlash against films in the 30’s. They put Disney in the spotlight as having family entertainment. The truth is early Disney animated films made very little money so Disney was making underground porn films to keep the business going. If everyone knew the REAL truth of the company, Disney would be a blip in the rear view mirror.
Hard to believe Arch?
Even back then, Donald Duck wore no pants.
His speech pattern is like nails on the chalkboard to me.
I can listen to him for about fifteen seconds and my mind just shuts it off. Reminds me of those yappy little dogs that deranged women call babies.
I’m glad people are pushing back, but I don’t see a few tallies in the win column as shifting the tide in the culture war. Millennials and Zoomers have fully embraced sexual deviance as normal and acceptable. Until homosexuality and transgenderism are broadly seen as the abominations they are, we still find ourselves in a Romans 1 type of scenario.
The culture rot is fatal at this point. God’s hand of judgment is upon our society.
It must be Monday because I’m more pessimistic than usual.
What these companies do not understand is once you make it on peoples shit list, that decision is usually permanent. I will never spend another dollar for a Disney product along with Coke, Nascar, NFL, etc.etc.
