Disney Finds Out: Stock Down Almost $200 Billion as America Rejects Woke Perversion of Walt's Legacy
Red State ^ | 08/29/2023 | Brandon Morse

Posted on 08/29/2023 8:34:06 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

Walt Disney's corpse could provide endless power to an entire region of the United States from all the turning over in his grave that he's currently doing. As a very pro-American man, Disney detested communism openly and strove for excellence in creation and imagination. 

What modernity and those who subscribe to it have done to his company is nothing short of an atrocity, and the House of Mouse that Walt built is suffering from an infestation of squatters that not only trash his company's legacy but move to direct the company in the very political direction Disney fought against. 

But perhaps Disney will get some justice as the company that bears his name is sinking below the waves, as it's better for the company to be destroyed than let it continue to pervert and ruin its own legacy.

Sure enough, the damage being done to Disney by those currently in charge of it is so extensive that markets show a company bleeding out. 

As previously covered by Newsmax, Disney's stock price now sits at a 9-year low of $83.53 with its market cap having fallen a whopping 56 percent since March 22, 2022. That means it fell from $350.09 billion on that date to $196.05. 

This isn't a good look to investors, but that's just an element of Disney's problem. A bad stock price is just the symptom of a disease that Disney has no desire to shake. 

As I last reported, Disney CEO Bob Iger said during a Q3 report that his company would begin toning down both the cost of its creations and the pace at which they're released, but this misses the point. While both of these things are definitely something harming Disney's bottom line, it's not the key issue: 

The real issue on Disney's hands at this time is that it's burned too many bridges with its would-be audience. It's politicized itself so heavily that half the country despises the company, and on top of that, few people want to show up to a Disney flick to get preached at or bear witness to another boring CGI-fest whose stories were written by activists and not storytellers. 

Disney has shown a clear disdain for Americans and their values while embracing a bubble-like mentality surrounding radical leftist social justice values. They don't see their product as an artful creation but as a soapbox from which to finger-wag.

Disney's falling stock is a direct result of the Western world moving on from a propagandistic company that has allowed the personal politics of its executives and workers to infect and dictate what it creates. Disney became so hubristic about its political positions that it openly announced a crusade against Florida's "Parental Rights In Education" bill, falsely calling it the "Don't Say Gay Bill" and condemning Florida Republicans. 

It was a move that the company would regret as Florida Governor Ron DeSantis would proceed to strip Disney of its tax haven in the state for daring to step into the world of politics and with the aim of depowering parents no less. 

The current crop of executives and workers has so ruined Disney that it's unclear what the path is for its recovery other than dissolution and its parts sold off to the highest bidder. It's already happening as Iger has begun selling off Disney's television properties, and rumors are swirling that a sale to Apple could take place.

If Disney falls then it will be a tragic end to a once-great kingdom, but it will also be a damning rebuke of the radical leftism that has infected mainstream media by the American people themselves. It sends the message that nothing is too big to fail if the American people say so and that even great empires can be toppled.

At what point do Disney shareholders sue for management decisions made in pursuit of a political and social agenda instead of maximizing shareholder value?

I’ll hazard while its probably partially due to their woke bs, I would suggest its probably more the economy.

Is the same true for other theme park operators? I see that Universal Studios theme parks are reporting strong profits in 2022 and 2023. How about other major production studios?

I suspect this is more of a Disney problem than an economic probblem.

I remember 1966, in part because of two deaths ... Diane Linkletter (daughter of Art Linkletter, the famous TV host) jumped out of a high rise window during a bad LSD trip.

Wiki: "At 9 a.m. on October 4, 1969 (emphasis added by me), Linkletter jumped out of a window of her sixth-floor apartment at the Shoreham Towers in West Hollywood, California."

Oh Dear. There I go again, mixing up the death dates of people from the 1960’s and early ‘70’s. There were so many.
Well, anyway, people really did talk about Dianne for months after she jumped. Sorry for the inaccuracies.

DeSantis led the way. Picked the right opponent where parents are involved. Beer drinkers didn’t need a leader against Bud Light. Target-there’s Walmart out there. It’s like a wake when a boat moves.

$200 billion isn't enough. They need to crash and burn and the fags in charge physically thrown out the door. (Cf. Ron White and his narrative "Being thrown out of a bar.")

Then the stockholders/trustees need to rebuild Disney as per Walt's professed ideology. The Disney we all remember.

“second cousin informed me she was asexual or non-binary or something”

Some folks are easily brainwashed.

If she was born an Aztec she would be smiling sweetly as she sacrificed little children to the Gods.

Disney Executives Admit: Of Course We’re Grooming Your Children: Multiple Disney employees admitted their own personal missions to deluge 5- to 9-year-olds with as much of their own sexual ideology as possible.

Disney isn’t just grooming children with radical sexual propaganda — now they’re bragging about it.

On the heels of Florida’s new Parental Rights in Education law, which bars educators from instructing kindergarten through third-grade students about sexual ideology, multiple executives and employees from the Walt Disney Company admitted their own personal missions to deluge 5- to 9-year-olds with as much of their own sexual ideology as possible.

One Disney executive boasted about her “not-at-all-secret gay agenda” and efforts at “adding queerness to” children’s programming, in leaked audio published by investigative journalist Chris Rufo on Tuesday.

“Our leadership over there has been so welcoming to my, like, not-at-all-secret gay agenda,” said Latoya Raveneau, an executive producer for Disney Television Animation. “I was just, wherever I could, just basically adding queerness … No one would stop me and no one was trying to stop me.”
