23. Nevertheless the stain of their lack of values remains.

Mon Sep 22, 2025, 04:28 PM

Yesterday

I actually don't buy Disney products with the exception of Christmas gifts for my niece and her husband.

I have been unaware of what films they control or produce, but will check on this going forward and skip the films, no matter how interesting they might be.

The fact is that they valued undeserved adulation for an idiot racist freak who preached that killing children was OK, that women were inferior beings and so on.

The shtick their corporation used to have was that they embraced American values. Clearly that was a lie.

Like Macbeth, they cannot undo what they've done.
