Disney, China, & the Ruling Class vs. America

Everything you need to know about the deep rift in American society can be summed up in this way: Disney’s C-suite, who happily pander to the intellectual-property-stealing, Uighur-jailing, Communist Chinese state, had a hard time imagining that they could film in the American state of Georgia because of their law banning abortions after a fetal heartbeat has been detected. Our ruling classes are so estranged from the country’s heartland, so hostile to the way of life practiced in rural America, that they find Chinese Communists easier to do business with than Georgian pro-lifers.

Democrat politicians like Michael Bloomberg and California Senator Dianne Feinstein go out of their way to praise China (it’s “growing into a respectable nation,” says Feinstein) while slandering their fellow Americans as systemic racists. Google will happily collaborate with China on an A.I. lab, but its employees can’t countenance the idea of making contracts with the U.S. government for the same work. This is more than hypocrisy: it’s an increasingly open, ideologically motivated preference for global audiences and cosmopolitan feudalism over the way ordinary Americans work and live. Concern for unborn children, devotion to American interests, and a commitment to equality under the law? Backwards, irrational, not to be tolerated. Tight state control of information, procreation, and religion? Promising, efficient, the future of the world. Got it?

Guess what? The Communist Chinese are the ruling class now.

Disney is evil bump.

To think, Disney made Johnny Tremain in 1957. Of course Walt was still alive, and he was a Patriot.

And God forbid if a state has men's rooms and ladies' rooms.

Are we approaching Huxley's Brave New World? Orwell's? A combination of both?!
