well yeah thats because its an amoral position. was that not clear? is that clear now?
I do this in a variety of countries, towards people of multiple parties in those countries sometimes, I was born in the US and subject to its indoctrination but its not possible for me personally to subscribe to an idea of treating the US differently: do the thing that gets influence without consequence. figure out what that thing is. some countries enshrine their corruption in the rule of law. cool.
I'm trying to say that, observing someone (whether human or corporation) fall afoul of that in such a very blatant way, and effectively saying, "Welp, you should've known not to criticize your overlords" helps to both normalize and perpetuate that kind of corruption and self-serving behavior.
And you think this is...what, normal? The way things should be? That by daring to even try (very ineptly) to be "neutral", Disney deserves retaliation from the vindictive petty autocrat in the Governor's mansion?
I mean, I don't at all think Disney comes up smelling like roses in this, but to shrug your shoulders and say, "eh, if you wanted to be treated fairly, you shouldn't have let anyone know you don't unquestioningly support everything the current administration wants" seems to be...the world's most supine moral position. (After all, if there's nothing to be done about how bad things are, you don't have to feel guilty for not doing anything, right?)
