I'd be ok with him donating a paltry amount. Say... $86.47

Those assholes love their dog whistle numbers, maybe it's time to show them how stupidly transparent it is.

Fun fact: the countries to the north end east of the USA have a king, the countries to the south and west used to have a king and an emperor (respectively).

You'll notice that none of them are overrun with tyrants.

In fact, most of the English speaking world shares a king, and many, many countries have a royal family who have bumbled along happily for centuries.

We think it's deeply weird when one world leader is doing his very best to piss off everyone except Russia, deliberately destabilising the environment, the global media, all the agreements that every other country is working together on, and his citizens are split between those who support him and those who keep saying 'this reminds me of how much I hate kings. No offense to the foundational identities of all our neighbours except Russia, but I can't imagine sinking so low as to tolerate a king'.

Like, dude, watch your own kids before you bitch about everyone else's. How does someone train an entire nation so well that they express displeasure at the flagrant atrocities of their president and say 'fuck other countries and their shitty systems'.

It's honestly like living next to someone who keeps playing their music too loud and throwing rubbish into your garden and every now and again he stands on your garden yelling about how much he hates your begonias. It wouldn't be so bad if it was a sensible criticism, or something political, but it's so random you waste a surprising amount of energy being offended on behalf of your begonias before realising, every time, that neither of you probably specifically care about the begonias. It's the shouting.

I thought Andor had been wrapped up.

I mean, I'm pretty sure that Disney makes at least a little money outside the USA. I'm willing to bet that there are at least 2 other countries whose subscribers won't all cancel their subscriptions because the American political shitshow has touched upon a person they've never heard of (source: I'm in an English speaking country where people have Disney+ and watch Disney films and as far as I know, virtually nobody has heard of this guy and virtually everybody has exhausted their supply of 'wtf is the USA doing, surely they can't get away with that' for the year).

So unless you honestly think that the entire American user base is going to cancel - which seems wildly unlikely, given the political scene - AND that the number of Americans with subscriptions is at least equal to the number of subscribers outside the USA, then sorry bud, you aren't going to defeat fascism by pausing your Disney+ subscription for a few months.

It's a great start, and I personally think it's healthy to ethically curate one's free time where possible, but when October rolls around and Disney is still solvent, don't throw up your hands and say you gave it your best shot but the fight is clearly hopeless. You guys have let your corporations run unchecked for decades, if you want them to suddenly find a moral compass you need to settle in for a long game.

Same, I don't dislike Kimmel but just never really watched him. Still cancelled Disney+ even though I have a kid that will be very angry not having Bluey on demand.

It's us against them for at least the next ~3.5 years (hopefully not longer),

It's worse they also demanded a donation to tpusa.

That's the thing that actively pisses me off the most. The right has been fucking monsters when it comes to their reactions to violence like that. Absolute, psychopathic, proudly hypocritical monsters, willing to joke about an elderly man being assaulted in his home because he happened to be the husband of a Democrat. And silence when asked about whether urging their sick followers to commit violence might be leading their sick followers to commit violence.

And the murders that took place in Minnesota a few months ago? Jokes and silence there, too.

But a late-night comedian says something that isn't even disrespectful or in any way condones violence, just acknowledges the kind of person Kirk was... and they lose their fucking minds.

Always remember this, folks: It's all performative. They don't actually care. They know Kimmel didn't say a goddamn thing that could be interpreted as support for violence. They know.

And it came from the highest level - Orange Jesus cracked some "jokes" about it. So did his son.

I live in a red state. I'm constantly surrounded by pro-slavery confederate flags, open threats of violence in the form of punisher and 2A bumper stickers, and then direct calls for violence against all of "the left".

I've never considered calling their employers just to see which ones are okay with terroristic threats.

As OP said, I doubt Kimmel viewers would let him accept it either.

It's lose on all fronts if he does.

Anything that causes the Walt Disney Company to lose money is a good thing.

You can ask for however much you want in a lawsuit. It's fiction.

I'm struggling to think of a situation that's more deserving of a strike than what is happening right now.

Seriously, people just need to have a backbone.

Kimmel already has "fuck you" money and has proven he can write well enough to sit in any writers room in Hollywood. He can ride off into the sunset and fund some production company and do just fine and say whatever he wants.

People seem to forget that the "Cancel" wave of the '10s mostly gave birth to a bunch of big ticket comedy specials titled "Can't Shut Me Up" and "The Snowflake Melting Tour".

Kimmel's only going to get louder for all of this.

We all know that he would be fine with this message, its one of the few times that I don't mind twisting the words of a dead man.
