What I've noticed about far-left activism is that the leadership tends to have money, but most of the grunts do not. Whenever they want to do something in public to get noticed, the trust-fund kids who act as organizers need to rely on a lot of starving artists and other broke young people for the numbers they need and Disneyland is currently too expensive a place to go just to make some sort of point.

We can call it 'far left' or whatever as much as we like but at the end of the day, the main shareholder companies for them are Vanguard & Blackrock, which goes back to the Rockefeller family, a registered Republican family which is the most powerful family in America and controls the banking & politics. There is no such thing as left vs right. A corrupt bird needs two wings to fly.

Went to DisneyWorld in '87-88 as a light technician for a college show choir tour. They had their own house lights and techs, so I got to go and just enjoy the park. They took us backstage (if you can call it that) and we got to see how the sausage was made. A good trip in a better time.

A 'better time' that was nevertheless essential for paving the way for today. Not to be harsh but in order to address and face the problem, we can't just constantly glorify the past and act like it had no role in being the catalyst for today. There are charms and aspects that we should preserve from the past, but always remember one out of many many important aspects: Hollywood was dodgy from the beginning.

@@DVSPress On the whole, I think you’re on point. According to the Disney insiders, their leadership is trying to move Disney upmarket. Prices up across the board, park attendance intentionally limited. The Star Wars hotel was an extreme case of that. Combine that with broke weirdos, some of whom would go. Some of whom will have tantrums in public about rainbows or whatever but were never going. The destruction of videogames has been mostly orchestrated by people who were never interested in gaming. The failure of the weirdos to destroy Harry Potter is the most interesting, since a lot of them LOVE Harry Potter. They even pay to buy versions of the books that have been rebound without JK Rowling’s name on them!

What's sad is that the normies that are showing up at the park are Disney's target audience: generally normal and stable and mostly family-oriented people that aren't on-board with the extremities of woke, but aren't smart enough to see that Disney is poisoning and conditioning their children with propaganda. This is what I think is the reason that Disney won't go so overboard in their parks: can't give up the game. They'll push that trash in all their content but they want the normies to remain content enough to keep coming back. It's a slow poison but still getting faster

Agreed. Disney has been doing anti family stuff at their parks for decades, but "normies" dont know or care. I'm talking about some late night activities that Dave and his family likely wouldn't have seen during the daytime. I hate crowds and I hate long lines. But when you have a kid you have to go to one of these amusement parks at least once during their childhood. We went to Hershey Park many years back when my kid was young. The wait and the lines is no longer than 15 minutes. We must have gone on 20 rides at least. It was a fun experience, but once was fine . The local water park was our preferred option for summer fun. My sister on the other hand takes annual Disney cruises and trips to Disney.

Imo "extremism" is itself largely a media creation that is used to benefit the company brand. The far left "right side of history" LARP is used to explain any anti natalist, anti human globe corpo messaging as "morally good". In the same way the far right "racist sexist bigots" are used as a straw man to get culture warriors to defend companies that profit off corporate imperialism as "the good guys". Both extremes don't have that much actual pull in reality, but they function as useful tools for the company who wields them. When you own an entire wing of the media from sci fi tv shows to 24 hour "news" channels you can control the narrative in this way.

Me and my wife had our honey moon at Disney last year and I see your point. I agree with all your hypothesis. But I would also include two things: 1. That Disneyland is in Orange County, which even though voted blue last election is still a pretty predominant Republican/conservative place. A lot of hard core liberals From L.A. that I have talked to like to stay out of Orange County. 2. Disney parks in general especially Disneyland harken back to the past when America was conservative and upheld traditional values which attract a lot of normies.

I would wager its almost entirely a money thing. I have an anecdote that might help explain. I live on the outskirts of a major US metroplex, and I recently went downtown to sell a bunch of PS2 games to free up some closet space. I found a store that buys and sells games/comics/magic cards, etc. and their buying counter had a line of 10 or so people. I finally got to the counter and had a short conversation with the supervisor in charge of appraising the goods. He said their buying department had never been this busy and they now have a warehouse of funko pops that he doesn't believe they will ever sell. I'm guessing the Disney - kidult population that hordes chinese plastic isn't good with budgeting/financial planning and are not mature enough to plan a trip to Disneyland in times of economic downturn.

My thoughts: 1) No judgement here for going to Disneyland given the social circumstances. I see it similar to when you watched the Super Bowl with your neighbors. Being a diehard zealot about DGMTPWHY is dumb, imo. 2) Most people I'd consider normie live mostly in a state of bliss. They don't see as deeply into their entertainment as we or anyone in our mutual social circles. They aren't as sensitive to the on the nose jabs made at them when they see the newest skinsuit movie. To them, it's just entertainment and there's no way in their mind that they see it as anything but. 3) Your connection between the pandemic and financial hard times filtering the true wierdos out makes sense to me. That could easily be it.

You have a point about the pandemic breaking some people. I have a regular card group the has met up for years. Post pandemic hysteria the group has shrunk by a third. Some people just don't go out anymore. In my experience those that are most terrified to go out tend to be the ideological odd balls. Also, it does seem that the LGBTQIA+ mania has peaked for the time being. I am seeing less of it this June than I have in previous years, although I have no doubt it will come roaring back even stronger than before soon enough.

I think I can safely say I'm one of those "broken" by the pandemic. I never liked crowds and busy places to begin with but covid scared the hell out me early 2020 because I have a lung condition, and turned what was already a pretty high level of health anxiety up to 11. I started avoiding people completely for a whole year which i've never gotten over. I've improved somewhat, but I still won't go the pub or anything where i have to be around strangers for sustained periods of time - in fact i can usually only tolerate being around 2-3 people max, which is a big improvement from a year ago. I probably am a bit of an ideological oddball to be fair, but maybe not in the way you're talking about. I generally lean more socially libertarian or conservative on most issues (which here in scotland is less common). Despite my own personal anxieties about covid, I was never in favour of lockdowns and was strongly opposed to jab mandates, whereas all my normie, more left leaning friends who were okay with all that stuff seem to have completely gone back to normal. In fact, I'm the only one that i know that's still a bit screwed up post pandemic, everyone else acts like they've never even heard of covid now. Which is good, I guess.

I suspect Disney Corp is being supported by merchandise sales, theme park revenue and their old movies. Very few people are boycotting Disney, most people just avoid the stuff they don't like and they tend not to like the new stuff if they are going to dislike anything at all. It could be the company decided to keep the twisted stuff in Florida and whoever is in charge of Disneyland decided to keep it a little more traditional. There was a time when I thought the company would probably benefit from splitting the theme park side from the merchandising and movie production side, but now I'm not sure that's possible. Who gets to keep ownership of the Micky Mouse image and all the classic Disney characters? They are the ones who are going to benefit from the most dedicated Disney fans who still love the stuff they loved as kids. That's the group of people who keep Disney in the black even during the tough years when everyone is pinching pennies.

Honestly, you’re describing something I’ve observed regularly across the handful of places I’ve visited in America (from Canada). The vast majority of people in America are friendly, open, well adjusted and normal. Receiving a kind word from a stranger is not rare. It happens often. Perhaps it’s that very attitude that made us all vulnerable for a while to the machinations of the screaming demonic weirdo brigades. But everyone is waking up and coming around to the fact that we don’t have to cater to the screamers.

I definitely think it's the raising prices angle in terms of filtering out the weirdoes. Disney Parks position as market leader means they can charge top dollar and they're big enough to be able to play around with pricing to see what generates the most profit. As for the theme park vs. media side, I think the media business is effectively the propaganda wing that leeches off the success of the theme parks. The company is ideologically captured and the theme parks is why woke Disney doesn't go broke -- the media side loses money but pushes an agenda while the theme parks represent a safe and stable income source. Fact is that Disney Parks are a good time and so long as they soft-peddle some of the media stuff, normies will go to have a good time.

I know a lot of ideologues who have money. In my experience, they either have lots of money, or no money. That being said, I don't think Disney and other companies are pushing as hard on the ideologies and policies that are corrosive to society as they used to, which in turn drives the weirdos away. Between several failures of DEI and the awakening that has ensued, as well as some of the awakening post Oct 7 paired with a several potential wars on the near horizon, they have slowly backed off the gas with their societal destruction. Lastly, as some others have pointed out, Disney is conquered territory. Right now 40k, VtM, and other new battlegrounds require more of their attention.
