the thing to understand is that for Disney it's not always about the money. they control so much power over all media that they can inflict their world view on everyone through their propaganda streams. the performative wokeness that still sits within overall metanarratives about the value of the status quo? that's for the dollar. cutting Jimmy Kimmel loose? that's in alignment with their core values

    No, I'm pretty sure it's about the money. They wanted a merger and didn't want trouble, so they cut Jimmy Kimmel's show to help that progress more smoothly.

    Disney is really easy to understand because it is always about the money with them.
