          The difference is: Walt is the guy that want‘s to install Leopards because he thinks it will make him richer and more powerful. DeSantis is the first if the Leopards trying to eat Walt‘s face.

          Now, because Walt is as powerful as he is, he can put that Leopard in it‘s place. But others will come and eat him alive later.

          That‘s the thing with fascism - it‘s like a forest fire, it will burn down everything. People like Walt think that setting fire will benefit him (because people are busy fighting the fire that they can‘t focus an what he‘s up to). In the end, ge will burn as well.

      Man, I can’t belive I’m rooting for the giant corporation here. Crazy world.

      Sometimes the boot of capitalism treads on fascists, and that my friends is an interesting time.

        You are looking at it differently than I am.

        I have zero problems with regulating corporations. I just want those regulations to be for the public good. Yes you will pay your workers properly, no you can’t dump toxic sludge in our water. What Meatball did was attempt to regulate them for his good, not the public. He wanted to enforce his vision. I would be just as upset if he had tried to force them to say include more diversity in their movies. Yes I personally would like Disney to do this, but my personal whims should not have the power of law.

        You aren’t really siding with Disney, you are siding against agenda driven regulations. And if that doesn’t make you feel better just remember the ACLU defended Nazis right to freedom of speech.

        Well when you basically have your ass saved in the 80’s by the Lavenderest of musical writers who make the new foundation of your brand narratives of acceptance and love for the outsider with your flagship renaissance peice being a retelling of a Gay man’s obvious pining for acceptance of a forbidden romance and then use that formula for practically every hit princess movie to follow… You are just a tad beholden?

    Wouldn’t it be nice if you could just “Move on” and stop dealing with the problems from your past? Just like this guy Kyle who “Moved on” from owing me $2,000 and thinks that’s the end of it.

    Seems they’re both wrong.

      You can sing this comment to the Beach Boys “Wouldn’t it be nice” song.

    Of course he’d like them to drop a lawsuit that he’s going to lose and they had pre-typed and filed within minutes of his bonehead actions.

    And that’s exactly what Disney’s army of lawyers are known for - holding hands and singing Kumbaya when the other side asks nicely.

    By “moved on” he means “had my ass handed to me, repeatedly.”
