"God is dead, and Mickey Mouse has killed him." - Nietzsche, probably

As an ex “cast member”, thank you for making this video and giving me the language to further deconstruct what I saw at the parks. I have so much to say about the “lifers” who work at the park too…

I had a religion, once. It was called Thug Notes and it was enlightening.

Don’t forget that Disney also owns Fox, Hulu, FX, Nat Geo, A&E, History Network, Lifetime, etc. They control a vast majority of the entertainment media we consume.

When Disney tried to trademark Dia de Los Muertos, it really pissed me off. Like who the hell thought that was a good idea?

As someone who was a Disney adult for years I immediately backtracked when I saw how awfully they treated their employees during the pandemic

Thanks for reviving my Cynicism of Disney. Being forced to repeatedly watch Moana, Frozen, Encanto and the Zombies franchise and watching about everything fall under the saccharine Disney umbrella keeps it simmering.

I lowkey love this kind of content, closer to contrapoints/philosophytube than normal wisecrack. Would love to see the long form version of this content in the style of these channels.

Learning about Disney always make me feel better about pirating everything that is Disney.

I have a love- hate relationship with Disney. Like many adults I grew up on Disney and some of the movies have a soft spot for me.... But I hate to see just how gigantic the Disney corporation has become. It really has spread like an infestation of rats in culture!

Reminds me when I was working for an online travel agency. Whenever we were calling the Disneyland hotels, the staff there HAD to finish the conversation with "have a magical day" even though they very clearly could not care less at all.

The whole thing kind of reminds me of "A Brave New World" kind of dystopia... Or am I just a bit too negative?

This reminds me of the Russian movie "Branded" I think it was called. It's were this executive or CEO that suddenly can see all the logos come to life and grow by feeding off of people's consumerism. Weird but totally great movie and I recommend everyone watch. You will come away from it thinking totally different about the things you buy becoming you by consuming you! Genius creator.

Trademarking "Dia de los muertos" would be like if Disney owned the trademark on "Merry Christmas".

The point on training children to connect to individual exploration rather than any sense of community, to identify as a consumer rather than a citizen, is incredibly insightful. Thanks for the video, Wisecrack team.

I find it strange that you point out Disney tried to buy up a cultural tradition and not mention that such moves made Disney. Disney bought and packaged northern European folklore - they're not "tired tropes" they're historical cultural stories that no one from those cultures can use because they're thoroughly "Disney-fied" to the point even a philosophy channel treats nostalgia for the Disney story as separate from it's origin (it'd be a bit weird to claim tales from native Americans lacked diversity wouldn't it?)

I love how capitalism is one of those things that you figure we would be more careful with given how dangerous and corrupting it is but nope. Do nothing unless it makes more money. It’s also “funny” how you don’t need an anti capitalist soap box as you can point out an issue and your probably complaining about Capitolism. The soap box is now just the floor
