It seems like Disney has been deliberately chasing controversy the past couple of years. Leaks of management video conferences have shown the company to be widely engaged in distributing woke propaganda through its entertainment media. They openly opposed Florida's anti-grooming bill which prevented teachers from engaging in sexualized discussions with young children. And, a majority of their box office movies and streaming content has fallen flat in terms of audience numbers and revenues.
Disney's stock has plunged by around 30% in the past six months, and the company is now heavily relying on cash from the theme parks to keep itself afloat. Public sentiment towards Disney is in steep decline according to polls, and this is likely due to far-left ideology being injected into every facet of the conglomerate. That said, there is also an increasing number of incidents of violence at the parks as well as negative encounters with employees.
The latest event involved a big brawl between two families at Disney World, apparently over a woman leaving an attraction line and then returning to her family. This set off the chaos in the video below:
Some of the guests have now been arrested and banned from the park, but only after the fight went unimpeded and security was nowhere to be seen. This is just one among a host of incidents that have ruined the image of a company which once relied entirely on family friendly, non-confrontational and non-political fun. This doesn't look like much fun, but many might find it funny to watch Disney implode.
The heirs are double woke.
Too bad. I vote for releasing into the public domain.
There was one of those rail line terminating amusement parks a few miles from where I grew up. It was a hundred+ years old, and had accumulated a bad neighborhood around it, thanks to the mass transit. White people with cars started driving to amusement pars where the mass transit bound blacks could not, and the demographics started to turn. Very soon, the only people going to the park were the blacks coming out from the city. The place rotted for thirty years, becoming the best place in the area to buy drugs. Bill Cosby even mentions this park in one of his routines. Finally, it was raised and a mall was built in it’s place. The mall has the same mass transit/demographic problem, and no doubt will soon be raised and replaced by a giant Toll Brothers housing monolith.
Any attraction that can be reached and afforded by the blacks/underclass, will eventually become “jungle” as the people who can afford to “get away” do so. Disney is too affordable by the welfare enabled underclass. Unfortunately, welfare is more financially enabling than being a hard working middle class white.
Also trying to figure out just how the heck that common denominator affords all these leisure activities.
To loosely borrow from Chris Rock:
There are two kinds of theme parks: The theme parks the white people go to, and the theme parks the white people used to go to.
Why post a leech sponging off an original article from Zero Hedge when you could have just linked to the source article Zero Hedge?

Reminds me of Chuckie Cheese.

You might not have noticed, but FR for some reason does not allow articles from ZeroHedge. I have never gotten an explanation as to why but the author, Tyler Durden is being referred to in many websites.
LOL! I had not heard that before.
Chris Rock used malls, I substituted it with theme parks.
What was the nearest large town or city?
Regards,
Alan Dean Foster is a Sci-Fi best selling author. But he was not always. He got his start turning scripts into book form. If you were a Trekie or a Star Wars fan you have probably read his stuff. He did the adaptation for the book STAR WARS (ignore the name on the cover, Lucas did not do the book) and the Star Trek Logs (about ten of them). Because of this he is suppose to have a small stream of royalty payments from various studios he did this kind of work for. And he did. Until said studios were bought by Disney. And suddenly the royalties stopped. Because Disney decided they had bought only the rights but had no duty to continue to pay royalties. So they can and do continue to sell his work but need not pay him anything.
They have apparently been doing this for a while and through NDAs and the fact that a number of authors did not have their contracts worded careful have managed to get away with it and conceal it from the general public.
But in ADF they ran into the perfect storm. He is ill and was getting his estate in order so his wife will be take care of, he is a well known author and because he worked in the movie and TV business so long his contracts were written very carefully indeed. And include the line that if someone else were to acquire the rights to this IP he will still be paid.
So it has be come common knowledge in the writing community that Disney will outright refuse to live up to their monetary commitments and dare you to do anything about it.
So if you think their stories are not very good or original anymore... that is because they aren't. People who are good enough to create well crafted stories do not need to work for them. They can, if nothing else, self publish and find an audience. So Disney is left with nothing but ham handed hacks.
And that is as it should be.
Disney had fallen in the 80s.
The tax cutouts that Disney had had that desantis ended will be the end of Disney. Disney had always had their own police n fire dept. In doing so, Disney was about to hide employees in costumes molesting/feeling up young teens n young mothers. Now police n fire will be Orange Cty sheriff n fire dept. So Disney’s ability to hide employee indiscretions will be greatly reduced. Disney will be opened to more legal judgements. These judgements will go viral.
Yet Disney’s management and its institutional shareholders feel so woke and virtuous as they wreck the company.
