With that said you absolutely can argue "what is a political opinion" since nowadays that's been muddied to hell and back.

 

[Dakstang]

This is exactly what I'm arguing tbf. If you publicly say something that goes directly against the values of a company, they reserve the right to release you from your contract. Political opinions are not protected against termination in the constitution. Whether it's right or wrong is a whole other can of worms.

And I don't have a problem with that. What I have a problem with is them doing it out of fear of backlash from a system of Entertainment and media overlords employing their influence over the masses.

Gina didnt get fired for her political opinion anyway

 

[Barry Poppins]

oh no I’m not fighting you on it

Of course I was just mostly expanding on your point

 

[Spitfire]

she got fired for a very bad comparison

 

[Spitfire]

which Disney didnt want to have to deal with - and lose a massive market

 

[Dakstang]

If Gina Carano said that and it wasn't reported on the news and plastered everywhere it wouldn't have been a thing. Why was it an issue? Media. Who controls the media? See my point?

 

[Barry Poppins]

which Disney didnt want to have to deal with - and lose a massive market

FTR, I do think the reason they were quick to release Gina is particularly because of the urban legend that Walt Disney himself supported the Nazis and was a massive anti-semite.

 

[Dakstang]

They are trying to silence certain opinions. They skew everything a certain way. 'Report this, don't report that though it doesn't fit our agenda'.

 

[Spitfire]

i mean her post was massively offensive to Jews at the time

 

[Spitfire]

irrespective of any other Disney stuff

 

[Spitfire]

its an easy choice

 

[Dakstang]

Anybody wielding that much influence and power in the way they do should be concerning to everyone.

 

[Dakstang]

Our country is in trouble.

 

[Spitfire]

im remembering now people saying - its only the liberal jews complaining
