Tucker Just Exposed Disney, Netflix Hypocrisy on Georgia Boycott. Look Where You Film!

But, as Tucker Carlson pointed out on his Fox News show this week, there’s a certain hypocrisy when major corporations try to impose their will on a state because of that state’s laws surrounding abortion — and it’s not just because those corporations believe themselves to be in charge of the electorate and not the other way around.

“Voters in Georgia elected lawmakers who represent their values, and that’s exactly how democratic systems are designed to work. That’s the point,” Carlson said Thursday at the start of “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” according to an adapted version of his monologue posted on the Fox News website.

“You’d think the people who claim to be defending our democracy from the Russians would understand that. But of course, they don’t understand it. They don’t care to understand it. They believe democracy is when a tiny group of rich people imposes its values on everyone else by force.” https://www.westernjournal.com/ct/t...-netflix-hypocrisy-georgia-boycott-look-film/ It’s interesting how intolerant movie and entertainment businesses are toward Americans with whom they disagree. They want to boycott red states that act on their voters behalf. Yet. They film in countries whose laws and government go much further than an American state does against those same interests they espouse. That is called hypocrisy.

 

It used to be that citizens would organize boycotts of companies that did something they disagree with. Today companies are boycotting individual citizens and or their town or state for acting on the citizens behalf.

 

A business that is big enough to threaten a state and its people should probably be broken up.
Big Bad Businesses tend to take the free out of free enterprise.

 

You make a very good point.

 

I think Big Business is about to wear out it's welcome here. The American people are becoming very irritated with them.

 

I guess you missed the part where the Republican, who was running for governor, as his position as Secretary of State, for the state of Georgia, purged the polls of likely Democratic voters. Where people showed up to vote and were told their name had been purged. Had the purge not happened, Georgia would have a governor that truly represented most of the people.

 

The voter rolls purge was legitimate and legal and affected people who had not voted in a certain period of time prior to the purge. Judicial Watch got a court order compelling California jurisdictions to do a purge of dead, moved , and non voters over time from our rolls over their objections.

 

they are free to say what they want, freedom of speech - you want the government to restrict their speech?

and they are free to "say it" anywhere they want

don't like, don't watch

just like they don't like, they will boycott the state, people have the right to boycott them

 

Karl Marx would agree with you.

 

And you can bet that we will.

 

It's cute that you believe that tinfoil hat nonsense.

 

Need I remind you that almost 3 Million more American citizens voted for Hillary than voted for Dirty Donald!!!!

 

And? Who won the most state elections for the most electoral votes? That Hillary won California by four million votes means absolutely nothing outside of California. Just like Trump winning Michigan by 10,000 votes meant nothing outside of Michigan.

 

I do NOT want California and New York dictating to me who the president will be...

 

Me either and I live in California. I love reminding others from other parts of the state that they won by four million here while losing the electoral college with about 225 votes.

 

And right there we see the manifest dysfunction of the EC. Not EVERYBODY in the Blue areas voted red and vice versa. How can you possibly say that a system which disenfranchises everyone in an overall area who does not agree with that area's majority is enhancing individuality and critical thinking in the selection of a President?

 

The solution is the Maine and Nebraska method where the winner of a plurality or majority in each congressional district gets the electoral vote for that district in the state while the winner in the state overall gets the two votes for that states senators. This would eliminate winner take all for all of the states that have more than 3 electoral votes. It would reduce the impact of battleground states compared to present and would mean that Republican candidates would appear in California and New York and democrats in Texas and the Deep South after the conventions to win a handful of votes in states they can’t now.

 

It's called liberty. Not something you would appreciate. You would force companies to do business in places they find objectionable on moral grounds.

They can do business anywhere they want. If Georgia wants to be a theocracy, kiss the movie business goodbye. Billions of dollars down the tubes. LOL! Too damn funny.

 

No one said that they couldn’t. The article was simply pointing out the hypocrisy of them shooting film in places Islamic where homosexuality is against the law and often persecuted and like Northern Ireland where abortion isn’t legal. We know how to boycott their product if they boycott our states.

 

Wouldn't one man one vote be a LOT simpler?

 

If that's how your state wants to go, nothing wrong at all.

 

Corporations have 'personhood', to an extent, and as such they have every right to lobby states and the feds.

 

Yes.

I also personally feel that both Republicans and Democrats and all Races too can fill out a postcard. Its simple.

 

Disney tries extremely hard to be as non political as possible.

The reasons for that are obvious I would assume.

 

Boycott Hollywood. It's already started.

MSM and Hollywood will become dinosaurs. TV will survive if it doesn't get any more 'religious' (hollywood style), and independent news is growing like crazy. I'd say the writing is on the wall.

Of course, Hollywood can choose to go back to making art, instead of propaganda. We'll see if that happens.
