It’s common knowledge the left is all about incrementalism and much of what they want to do to the nation is done, as much as possible, behind closed doors because it’s really annoying when they have to explain themselves. Having to make cogent, logical arguments tend to escape them.

Libs of TikTok is a favorite among terminally online conservatives, who believe the account’s cherry-picked curation of primarily LGBT-oriented content lends credence to right-wing conspiracy theories claiming America’s youth are being coerced and “groomed” into homosexuality and transgenderism.
— Rolling Stone, 4/19/22

Libs of TikTok is basically a Twitter account where the creator uploads TikTok videos, voluntarily posted by liberals, where they are who they are. Many just look and sound weird, and most illuminating of late are videos of those in the teaching profession who brag about how they’re indoctrinating children to be gay, transgender, etc. giddily behind the backs of parents. The timing of these video creation is inconvenient given the recent issues involving Walt Disney and Florida’s “Parental Rights in Education” bill.

It wasn’t enough for Twitter to take the expected action against Libs of TikTok. Activists joined in, including those in the so-called media.

Taylor Lorenz, the Washington Post’s internet culture beat reporter, is being accused of “doxxing” the anonymous woman who operates the popular Twitter account “Libs of TikTok.”
— New York Post, 4/19/22

So, WHO is Taylor Lorenz really…?

“They’ll threaten children?” “Terrifying!” “It’s horrifying!” Spare us the phony outrage. These are the same leftists who strategically and happily send protesters to homes of those they oppose, frightening children inside.

And while she would obviously be the first to deny it, Taylor Lorenz is a snowflake bully. At 37, she’s hardly what would be considered a mature journalist. Back in the day you’d have to have many years of success and traditional following to be given an opinion forum.

Imagine being so insecure (and busted) you have to tell people how they should read what you write even though the punishment inflicted isn’t enough….

Taylor Lorenz is an activist using her position at a national media outlet to target a private citizen SHE personally doesn’t like.

Taylor Lorenz harassed an account yesterday with a similar name. In a desperate attempt to fish for information, she threatened the account that they will be implicated as “starting a hate campaign against LGBTQ people” if they don’t respond to her
— Libs of TikTok Tweet, 4/19/22

While an argument could weakly be made that the creator of Libs of TikTok is a public person because of “anonymous” appearances on other media platforms, we all know Lorenz would be quickly called into a corner office if she doxxed Tom Cruise or Beyoncé because those public people have really good lawyers who can write “cease and desist” in fonts big enough to get the attention of outraged shareholders and nervous insurance companies.

Immature or vindictive types in the media believe any opposing private citizen is fair game. They also assume, because they hide behind the title of “journalist”, they should personally remain unscathed. Not sure when Lorenz last read the First Amendment of the United States Constitution, but the media guaranteed the right to publish whatever they wish. There’s nothing in that Amendment to shields them or their employees from criticism and/or ridicule.

Not surprising, Taylor Lorenz isn’t even a good “journalist”.

The profound pathologies driving all of this were on full display on Saturday night as the result of a reckless and self-humiliating smear campaign by one of The New York Times’ star tech reporters, Taylor Lorenz. She falsely and very publicly accused Silicon Valley entrepreneur and investor Marc Andreessen of having used the “slur” word “retarded” during a discussion about the Reddit/GameStop uprising.

Lorenz lied. Andreessen never used that word. And rather than apologize and retract it, she justified her mistake by claiming it was a “male voice” that sounded like his, then locked her Twitter account as though she — rather than the person she falsely maligned — was the victim.

Looks like we have a pattern.

And sorry, supposed professional journalists don’t cry because readers (as mean as they can be) don’t like them or their work just before they decide to publicly bully and harass others. I’m not sure very much, if any, footage exists of female journalism pioneers crying because of an adverse audience reaction.

So yet again we have another teachable moment.

The problem is liberals seldom learn from them, especially media millennials. They take no responsibility for their misdeeds and consistently make things worse for all involved.

The Walt Disney Company has added themselves to the groups who believe it’s their right to have access to and sexualize children, now as young as kindergarten age, and they’re pissed off there is actual opposition to their desires.

Governor Ron DeSantis signed HB 1557, also known as the controversial ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill, into Florida law during a press conference Monday morning The bill, officially called the Parental Rights in Education bill, was signed into law at Classical Preparatory School in Spring Hill around 12:30 p.m.

“We will make sure that parents can send their kids to school to get an education, not an indoctrination,” DeSantis said in the press conference. The Florida Senate previously passed the related SB 1834 22-17 in early March before it reached the governor’s desk. The newly signed legislation restricts what kids could learn about sexual orientation in elementary school. The new legislation limits discussion of LGBTQ issues in kindergarten through third grade.

The bill also allows parents to sue school districts if teachers discuss homosexuality or gender identity.
— NBC 2, 3/28/22

Coupled with the lies pushed by transgender activists and the media (“Don’t Say Gay” is what the left repeats is in the bill), Disney employees are going to openly defy the bill and target any politician who believes woke, gay advocate teachers talking with kindergarteners about their genitals is a bad thing.

The problem is that we’re now talking about families potentially boycotting a two or three dollar chicken sandwich. Disney products are not cheap. Disney+ goes for $8 a month or $80 a year for ad-free streaming, or a Disney+ with Hulu and ESPN+ bundle runs for a starting price of $14 a month or $168 a year. That will amount to a noticeable savings to the monthly family budget, avoiding a company whose abusive employee bullies are giving a middle finger to their customers, that is until they get over the outrage Christopher Rufo’s release of this video has caused.

Disney employees are now claiming to be the victims of “right wing media online harassment” and have organized an astroturf campaign to “mitigate the hate with the hashtag #DisneyPRIDE.” The campaign has been a flop, generating virtually no online support.
— @realchrisrufo Tweet, 3/31/22

But here’s where things can get real dicey for the Mouse.

Not even taking Bidenflation and war into account, a family going to Disneyworld in 2022 costs a serious amount of money and planning.

5 Nights Pop Century — $1228
5 Day Base Tickets — $1988
2 Days Genie+ — $128
MCO-Disney Transportation — $200
Assume flights and dining increase 3% — $2187
Total Base Trip — $5731

This is an easy removal as a family budget option, especially to a venue that has obvious contempt for how parents wish to raise their normal children. We’re talking millions monthly of potential losses to Disney just because a very small percentage of the national population believes they can bully the majority into submission over their desire to indoctrinate children behind the backs and/or over the objections of those who raise them.

A sleeping giant is a lot more powerful than a mouse and millions of Americans will take a pass on an abusive “Happiest Place on Earth”.

Disney employees plan massive walkout over ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill
Disney employees stage ‘huge’ walkout to protest ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill response, as company says it supports LGBTQ community
Disney workers ‘full-scale walkout’ over the company’s response to so-called ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill

It didn’t take long for “massive”, “huge” and “full-scale” to be whittled down….

Some Disney employees organize walkout to protest so-called ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill

Reports from Los Angeles showed “dozens” showing up for a “chill” protest and in Orlando, epicenter of the Disney controversy, there was reportedly only one protester who walked off his job.

It’s like the gay protesters expected Disney to grovel even further so they wouldn’t walk off the job, and when push came to shove, it was a whole lotta nuthin’.

In yet another example of progressive projection, those who claim to be oppressed are just a part of the long-standing oppressors in a workplace all too familiar to conservatives.

Published Monday and provided to The Daily Wire in advance, the authors reveal that they do not feel safe in their jobs and say that Disney has “come to be an increasingly uncomfortable place to work for those of us whose political and religious views are not explicitly progressive.” The staffers say they’ve watched silently as Disney villainizes and condemns political leaders who share their opinions:

As employees of the Walt Disney Company, we believe in the dignity of all people. This is why we do what we do. We write stories. We make costumes. We act in parades. We run cruises. We stream movies. We make magic. We do this because our work contributes to a fountain of wonder that inspires joy, awe, and delight in guests and audiences of all ages. We are proud employees of the Walt Disney Company. We love our jobs because we get to share the wonder of life and human experience with millions of people worldwide.

However, over the last few years, one group of cast members has become invisible within the company. The Walt Disney Company has come to be an increasingly uncomfortable place to work for those of us whose political and religious views are not explicitly progressive. We watch quietly as our beliefs come under attack from our own employer, and we frequently see those who share our opinions condemned as villains by our own leadership.

The company’s evolving response to the so-called “Don’t Say Gay” legislation in Florida has left many of us wondering what place we have in a company actively promoting a political agenda so far removed from our own. TWDC leadership frequently communicates its commitment to creating an inclusive workplace where cast members feel comfortable sharing their perspectives and being their authentic selves at work. That is not our workplace experience.

Over the last few weeks, we have watched as our leadership has expressed their condemnation for laws and policies we support. We have watched as our colleagues, convinced that no one in the company could possibly disagree with them, grow increasingly aggressive in their demands. They insist that TWDC take a strong stance on not only this issue but other legislation and openly advocate for the punishment of employees who disagree with them.

An internal poll within the company went out a few months ago asking us if we felt accepted in the company. Many of us didn’t complete it because the nature of the questions made us worry that the results of the poll could be used to target us for quietly holding a position that runs against the progressive orthodoxy that Disney seems to promote. TWDC has fostered an environment of fear that any employee who does not toe the line will be exposed and dismissed.

Much has been made of our internal efforts to Reimagine Tomorrow, but as much as diversity and inclusion are promoted, the tomorrow being reimagined doesn’t seem to have much room for religious or political conservatives within the company. Left-leaning cast members are free to promote their agenda and organize on company time using company resources. They call their fellow employees “bigots” and pressure TWDC to use corporate influence to further their left-wing legislative goals.

Meanwhile, those of us who don’t align with this vision keep our heads down and do our work without bringing our personal beliefs into the workplace. We’ve done this without complaint because we don’t want to rock the boat, but the boat is being rocked, and our leadership seems compelled to reward those who are rocking it.

Employees who want TWDC to make left-wing political statements are encouraged, while those of us who want the company to remain neutral can say so only in a whisper out of fear of professional retaliation. The company we love seems to think we don’t exist or don’t belong here. This politicization of our corporate culture is damaging morale and causing many of us to feel our days with TWDC might be numbered.

Furthermore, as this politicization makes its way into our content and public messaging, our more conservative customers will feel similarly unwanted. You can only preach at or vilify your audience for so long before they decide to spend their money elsewhere.

Working for The Walt Disney Company is a dream come true. We love being part of creating the magic that so many people around the world enjoy. Our storytelling is second to none. It resonates with people from all walks of life across the political spectrum. Our parks are the source of joy and inspiration that Walt hoped they would become. Every year, millions of guests escape an increasingly divided world to a place where they can relive fond memories of the past and savor the challenge and promise of the future. They do this alongside thousands of other guests that might not have anything in common with them other than a shared love of Disney.

The unique brand of family entertainment that Disney is known for is an objective good in this dark world. It brings people together and provides cultural touchpoints that even the worst enemies can unite over. At the height of COVID lockdowns in the Summer of 2020 when the country was fiercely divided over a range of issues, Hamilton provided us something to collectively celebrate. At the end of an incredibly contentious election year, The Mandalorian was there to soothe a weary nation with non-political entertainment we could all enjoy no matter who you voted for. When Disney takes sides in political debates, they deprive the world of a shared love we all have in common. TWDC is uniquely situated to provide experiences and entertainment that can bridge our national divide and bring us all together.

CEO, Bob Chapek had the right idea in his original statement that he has since walked back. In Chapek’s own words, “As we have seen time and again, corporate statements do very little to change outcomes or minds. … Instead, they are often weaponized by one side or the other to further divide and inflame.” Disney is far more important and impactful to the world by avoiding politics than it will ever be by embracing a political agenda. By focusing on entertainment that inspires us with stories of universal appeal, we are doing good in the world.

Disney shouldn’t be a vehicle for one demographic’s political activism. It’s so much bigger and more important than that. More than ever, the world needs things that we can unite around. That’s the most valuable role The Walt Disney Company could play in the world at this time. It’s a role we’ve played for nearly a century, and it would be a shame to throw all of that away in the face of left-wing political pressure. Please don’t let Disney become just another thing we divide over.
— Disney Employees’ Open Letter in Favor of a Politically Neutral Disney

While gay activists believe it’s their right to introduce sexuality to kindergarteners on up and suggest any push back is bigotry and oppression, look at the language used by those same activists towards anyone who opposes them. The goal could be to limit their environments to only people who think like them.

After the “massive” walkout at Disney, it’s still appears to be a very small group.
