Last week a few sharp-eyed members of the audience for Disney’s live-action remake of Mulan noticed something ugly in the credits. The film’s producers thanked, among others, the publicity department of the "CPC Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region Committee" as well as the "Turpan Municipal Bureau of Public Security." These are the same political and disciplinary institutions that oppress China’s Uighur minority. Disney cooperated with them without batting an eye.
But Disney is more than happy to call attention to human-rights abuses in the United States. Since George Floyd died in police custody earlier this year, the corporation and its subsidiaries, including ABC and ESPN, have issued statements in support of Black Lives Matter. The House of Mouse has reaffirmed its commitment to the ideology and practices of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Nor is Disney the only film studio to ignore repression in the People’s Republic of China while embracing the cause of social justice at home. They all do it. The question is why.
Part of the reason is parochialism. Americans just don’t care very much about what happens in other countries. Another motivation is profit. All companies desire access to the largest possible markets. Angering the Chinese Communist Party, or violating the tenets of political correctness, endangers the bottom line. Meanwhile the legitimacy of political, cultural, and economic institutions, including the corporation, has come into question. To ensure their survival, corporations must conform to the values and regulations of host societies and governments. That means playing nice with China, embracing "stakeholder capitalism," and adopting the teachings of Ibram X. Kendi.

Pretty sickening. We need to reclaim this country.
Disney Editing Blunder: This Uighur Concentration Camp Can Be Clearly Seen In The Background Of ‘Mulan’

Satire, but more real than much of our news.
The American people are beginning to understand the evil side of globalism. Disney, the NBA, Google, BLM, the Deomocrat Party and much of Academia are simply not decent. America will either remain the shining city on the hill and a beacon of freedom or it will be overrun and pass into what will be a forgotten and distorted history. Elections matter greatly.
That’s because the issue is never the issue; the issue is always the revolution. Disney is now a useful idiot for the revolution.
Isn’t it “ironic” how “woke” just so happens to rhyme with “joke”?
What, Mickey Mouse is a shallow, insufferable, blathering, jellyfish? The Wonderful World of Disney is just another liberal institution working for the CCP.
The dialectic of woke is “Where’s the cash, sucker? Don’t treat me like some schoolboy. Yo, I’m an elite... went to Harvard to study communism. Was told America is full of bitches keeping me down. I’m down with that. So, where’s my cash, sucker!”
A dialectic is a two way conversation but in this case only one is speaking and does all the speaking.
The Left has no dialectic except in theory. What Leftism practices in actuality is a monolectic—we speak, you listen; we take, you acquiesce. It is a return of the robber cheiftans of the past, only this time using pseudo-intellectual political jargon to justify their plundering.
Exactly, that is why they can’t stand religion. It gets in the way of their narrative. They can’t stand anything that questions their authority and world view.
