Wait was he saying this in defense of Li'l Ben? Is he saying Shapiro speaks in "modern parables?"

Also what does that even mean?

It means that when the victorians decided that indoor plumbing should be a thing they went with the lead piping and told the British population that it was safe to drink right out the tap.

If Disney went the other direction and had Goofy open carrying an AR15, and a salute to our troops at the end of a ride, that guy would be furiously writing the article with one hand about how wonderful it is. As usual, it's not about keeping politics out - it's about keeping politics they don't agree with.

Also lol that Disney are in any form 'woke' and don't just run the numbers to know which direction is more profitable.

Can't blame the victorian's for that, really. Why do you think they call it plumbing?

Yeah, it's not even that the ACLU was arguing against the death penalty itself, just that this particular method would be torturous to the defendant.

A friends mother in law smugged about her union being politically neutral.

I just rolled my eyes because loving LOL if you think the employers counterpart organization doesn't spend millions on lobbying to get things their way. Any union that's apolitical will just be swept away by the political tide.


The funny part: It was the union for golf course middle management. Quite possibly one of the single most impotent unions in the country that basically piggybacks on the work of the forest and lumber industry union (which is political as hell thankfully)

I can definitely understand how someone like that can feel ganged up on by the entire world of innocuous entertainment constantly using language that he has come to identify as coded "woke". Once you've reached that point where you've convinced yourself that you're the last bastion of sanity in a world that's gone mad toeing a party line, you're going to see climate-change this and LGBTQ+-that and BLM everywhere you look and it's going to sour your milk and make you madder and madder until you start giving interviews and writing op-eds.

At any point on the way there though, there's the option to say to yourself, "You know what, maybe it's not that I'm the only sane person left in the world and everybody else has become a mindless sheep; maybe it's not that I'm the only one with all the answers and they're all just taking marching orders from Big Tech and Soros; maybe it's not all virtue signalling, maybe they all actually .... dooooo believe these things they say? Maybe I'm the one who's gone off?" And you might start to rearrange priorities such that your own perceived inconvenience around minor changes in the world that you're accustomed to becomes less important than the well-being of millions of people you might not even know.

But pulling that ripcord takes more introspection and willingness to admit to being wrong than more than a handful of them are capable of.

I’m 41 and can remember my boomer mother sitting down with my nan and having the Jim Davidson talk and why using the kind of language he uses for black people is upsetting for all, and do you remember the GI segregation race riots in Yorkshire during the war and how upset you all were when they put “no blacks” outside the pub mum. Anyone using “woke” as an insult in 2021 is full of poo poo, my grandad chased a racist with a gardening fork in 1943 ffs (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Bamber_Bridge)

They knew that sexist/racist/homophobic poo poo was wrong, they just didn’t expect to be called out on it or face any consequences and OH GOD “YOU HAVE NO SENSE OF HUMOUR LOVE” NO LONGER WORKS HELP HELP I AM BEING OPPRESSED.

He was one of the first people (possibly the first) to make the connection between herbicides and pollution. The landowner who’s farm he was managing kicked him and his young family out when he “caused a fuss”, the fuss being helping to found the British Soil association - Happily he had friends within the movement who made sure he was OK. He died 5 years ago and on the day of the funeral my nan was scared catering for 50 was too much. Over 3000 people turned up.

I read the article and this guy's complaints are:

1.Disney cast members are "now permitted to display tattoos, wear inclusive uniforms and display inclusive haircuts"

2. They are getting rid of trader Sam. I didn't know who that is, but it turns out he's a black guy dressed in stereotypical African outfit who asks people to trade two of their heads for one of his

3. They are removing references to song of the south

4. The pirates of the Caribbean ride is not immersive enough anymore, he doesn't say why.

Then he says that with all these changes, the only thing he will think about while at Disney is how political disney is now and he won't have fun.
