All speech is hate-speech if you hate speech

[-] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 68 points 2 weeks ago

Apparently this is the guy that is too “radical”

[-] grue@lemmy.world 42 points 2 weeks ago

Let this be an object lesson to everyone who thinks they'll be spared because they aren't radical enough.

[-] sudo@lemmy.today 17 points 2 weeks ago

It is a pretty radical take though. Shooting Nazis has been, historically, effective. And celebrated. I'd go as far as to say not enough Nazis had been shot.

[-] Karjalan@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago

Wow... So if you're like this, and still get shit canned for not saying he was literally Jesus, you might as well go full "fuck him I hope he rots on hell"

[-] MangioneDontMiss@feddit.nl 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

This post is so tame and the reality of the matter is that I'm sure many people don't think its monstrous to fight fascism. And by any means necessary when you have limited options. These people are the literal Nazi party of the modern age, and we are fucking tiptoeing around actually fighting back.

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 46 points 2 weeks ago

Imagine if someone was driving around with this but it was Trump.

They'd be pulled over repeatedly. Their vehicle would be vandalized.

THE RIGHT DOES NOT LIKE FREE SPEECH

THE RIGHT DOES NOT RESPECT OUR CONSTITUTION

Want to turn the anger you're feeling into something productive? Make this moment count and pay the price for free speech: cancel Disney, ESPN, Hulu, and ABC. They're betting you'll trade your free speech for entertainment. Tell them what your priorities are.

Timing is critical! Acting now sends the loudest message to these cowards. Make them more afraid of us than the clown.

[-] Zedd_Prophecy@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

I wish I could. Yarrrrr but I've never paid them a dime. Keel haul em lads!

[-] Liberal_Ghost@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 weeks ago

Its a pirates life for me

[-] maximumbird@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

This spoke to me.

Cancelled my Hulu and Disney+ bundle. Thanks for the nudge.

[-] cloudy1999@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 weeks ago

Good for us both, we'll get through this!

[-] Batman@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Cancelled Disney Plus yesterday. Hadn't gotten anything new since andor

[-] Liberal_Ghost@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 weeks ago

For real. Plus you can get all the entertainment you want for free if you sail the high seas 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

[-] deddit@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

I had the Disney+, Hulu, and HBO package. Just canceled it and put Jimmy Kimmel as the reason, just his name nothing else.

[-] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I had hulu live tv until a year ago. They raised the hell out of those prices so much I couldn't keep it. Instead I brought 1 year of just hulu for the same price as 1 month of live. Just ran out and told them nah. The only media subscription I have is peacock with a teacher's discount so my wife can still watch the news and snl live. I am done with all that stuff, and it's almost crazy that I pay less than my parents did on TV. About the only thing that costs less now for me.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

ooo, i didn't think about getting those with our union benefits. that through the PERS portal?

[-] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I did that and I also logged into the Disney parks app and talked with their chat support to tell them I'm not coming back. I was going to take the cruise too... Nope lol

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

HEY Y'ALL IT'S WRITE THE MOST SLANDEROUS SONG ABOUT DISNEY MAGA AND KRASNOV YOU CAN əəə FRIDAY EXCLAMATION MARK WE OUGHTA HAVE A CONTEST OR SOMETHING FULL INTERROSTOP YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER IS APPRECIATED EM DASH HUGS AND SNUGS COMMA I FORGOT WHO I'M TRYING TO PRETEND TO BE

[-] scarabic@lemmy.world 25 points 2 weeks ago

All the hate for Biden was so vicious. The guy was mild af and barely did anything for them to complain about.

[-] shawn1122@sh.itjust.works 15 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

That's a feature of fascism. Demonize the opposition no matter how moderate. Define them clearly and dehumanize them.

[-] chisel@piefed.social 10 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Erm, achooillee, he tried to give debt relief to poor "people", money personally taken by pet-eating illegal caravans from MY minimum wage paycheck that could have gone to my boss's boss's boss's boss's boss's boss's multi-billionare boss's twelfth yacht fund before trickling down to ME. And he was SLEEPY.

/s

[-] EtherWhack@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

He was like everyones grandpa.

[-] Una@europe.pub 23 points 2 weeks ago

How funny is that republicans will spread bigotry and say it is their free speech, also say "hate speech is free speech" but now they say this is a hate speech and get angry. For the record I did not celebrate his death, I do not feel bad that he is dead but do not celebrate.

[-] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 22 points 2 weeks ago

Conservatives only consistent value is basically "no one can tell me what to do. I can tell you what to do". In-groups to protect, out-groups to bind

[-] AmbientDread@midwest.social 12 points 2 weeks ago

Done. Subscription bundle cancelled ❌

[-] OwlPaste@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

sorry what did disney did? so much happening its hard to keep up

[-] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 35 points 2 weeks ago

Fired Jimmy Kimmel for refusing to fawn over Charlie Kirk.

[-] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 23 points 2 weeks ago

They fired Kimmel for showing that trump didn't care about kirk dying.

Starts at about 2 minutes.

Video of monologue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-j3YdxNSzTk

[-] chisel@piefed.social 11 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

They fired Kimmel to appease Trump and used Kirk as an excuse. And a piss poor excuse at that.

This was inevitable since Colbert was canceled, assassination or not. They were just waiting for an excuse and jumped at the chance. But, with an excuse like this, appologizing statements that were never made, they may as well have said Kimmel ran away to live on a farm. That might have actually been more believable.

[-] MushuChupacabra@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Would that include not watching Tron: Ares, starring Rape-y Jared Leto?

[-] Zedd_Prophecy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I never planned on watching this. What a bastardation.

[-] MushuChupacabra@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Outside of the Leto casting, I liked what I saw in the trailers.

And then Disney bent the knee.

The gif of Switch dying in the Matrix would describe my current interest.

I'll spend those entertainment dollars on any book Jimmy Kimmel happens to have on sale.

[-] Zedd_Prophecy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Granted I didnt see the trailers but I was there for the original. The premise seemed dubious. Get me the logic probe! Mind you now after the Kimmel thing they are dead to me. I won't even pirate.

[-] InvalidName2@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 weeks ago

I'm not too proud to admit that I've been traumatized by a Disney adult. So, while I haven't truly been boycotting Disney, knowing the type of people who support them in general, I wanted no part in that. And then they had the audacity to besmirch Star Wars AND super heroes? FUCK THEM.

But in all seriousness, I was a kid when I realized that Disney stuff gives me really creepy vibes, and I haven't quite shaken that since. I "cut the cord" years ago, so my network TV exposure is basically the channels I receive over the air, and ABC is one of a limited number of selections that I can receive out here in rural America. It's super creepy and irksome that all the news reporters have to have that cheery, overly saccharine disposition to the point where they're practically jovial as they deliver the news that dozens of children were killed in record breaking floods. And then after the next commercial break, they're talking about the latest Disney movie or TV show like that kind of shit is actual news? No thank you.

So, I suppose the wall of text I've just written serves no purpose other than to recognize that Disney, like all companies in the USA, is basically just another automaton to weaponize by the federal government because the people that run them have no spine and honestly seem to believe that they'll be spared if they make Empire happy. Good luck with that.

[-] Kondeeka@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

For European audience, some companies they partially own that is distributed in Europe are RTL (50%), Epic games(10%) and national geographic (75%), as well as some small channels like 24kitchen. See this Wikipedia page for the full list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_assets_owned_by_the_Walt_Disney_Company?wprov=sfla1 Edit: added Epic games

Thata fucking dark and foreboding.

[-] Almacca@aussie.zone 1 points 2 weeks ago

Chilling, but not surprising.

[-] Taldan@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago
[-] Almacca@aussie.zone 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Thank god. It's so hard to tell sometimes.

Edit: So I watched the video, finally. Hamfisted, but I guess that's where we are right now. I hate this timeline where even satire is exhausting.

[-] MangioneDontMiss@feddit.nl 2 points 2 weeks ago

I don't think I'm actively paying for anything disney is selling, but maybe someone has a list?
