    This is some kayfabe bullshit you suckers keep falling for over and over.

    The illusion of conflict, the dog wagging the tail, manufactured outrage and consent.

    Please people, we didn’t score any kind of victory here, this entire experiment was a success, it drove up media engagement, lit up the ratings, got people to start saying brand-names all day and got both political sides to feel smug and rewarded for that engagement. Disney calculates their projections in terms of decades, whatever short-term dips they get are more than made up for by the public engagement.

    YOU ARE BEING MILKED AND NOT IN A FUN WAY
