Yeah, huh. It’s weird how that happened. Disney, ruiner of many small companies and destroyer of the purpose of copyright law on a deeply greedy level, goes against a sociopath nazi white nationalist, probably kkk.
Ten years ago, I liked Disney stuff but hated what they’ve done to the freedom of law and ruining the opportunities of many.
But here we are, post-2016 trump era, the world is way, way worse, and my activist political aunt was right.
She said to me, back then at a family get together after dinner, that electing trump is an extremely scary thing and would be bad.
I asked her what’s the worst that could really happen.
She kinda stared back at me, as if to gauge what to say. Then said that he was the type of person that brings all the awful things out from under their rocks, and told me to keep my eyes open and pay attention, because if he got elected, the next 4 years will be the type of history that only happens once in a lifetime.
She was 100% serious, as if she could see the future. But she was just in her 60s, big gay, from DC, and confident and loud. I can still see the the look of dread and sorrow on her face as she said that to me, and I doubt I’ll ever forget it.
Power typically begets more power, and the only way to fix it is to forcefully bend it to your will over and over again. I can’t believe Disney is where our trust is for civil rights, but, I guess it can always be worse and Disney knows that and is using us for support. It’s not great.
Fuck spez.
It’s like boomer sociopaths grew old enough in their time, and were like “yeah, ruin everything, yeah yeah”. But then millennial sociopaths grew old enough and are now like, “hold my coke…” Can we reign this shit in for the future generations at least? Because it’s awful.

Your aunt was right, but there is a positive force to this happening. It’s like boiling chicken stock. It raises the scum to the top which makes it easier to remove. While it stirred up a mess for us, that mess was always there. Now we can at least easily spot it and collectively work towards removing it.
Honestly, I’ve thought about that, too. Like what if electing trump was just a catalyst for good change? We see all the shitty stuff that we’re not immune to (no pun intended), and then steel our resolve to be better.
Frankly, I’d rather just be done with all the nonsense, but if the last several years have taught me anything, it’s that we are ALL dumb as fuck and need to work on ourselves, myself included. Humans just aren’t quite ready. We may be, someday… But right now, I think it’s best we learn to overcome what our problems are by looking deeply into a mirror and working on that.
I kinda wanted to be able to see that galactic civilization, but I’m now aware that we have never been ready for it, and need to stop pretending we don’t have issues and blind spots.

Sadly trump is not likily to be once he may be back by end of next year
