Disney, ESPN, And Allstate Prove Two Wrongs Don’t Make A Right
Becoming woke is an actual illness that destroys everything it comes in contact with. Among the things that are destroyed by its poison are morality and patriotism.
The attack on innocent American citizens in New Orleans was an obvious terrorist attack, yet initially, the FBI tried to deny what everyone knew. They sent an unprepared agent out to profoundly declare that it was not terrorism, at the time directly contradicting local authorities. Of course, they changed their tune later, out of self-preservation, to minimize the damage of their arrogant stupidity.
The FBI has become amazingly ineffective about things that matter. Instead of focusing on preventing attacks like the one that took place in New Orleans, they have become weaponized against opponents of the Biden administration. Bullying Catholics and grandmothers for praying outside of abortion clinics should not be on their docket. Neither should persecuting Trump supporters and concerned parents at school board meetings.
In addition to becoming weaponized against decency, rational thought and common sense have been replaced inside the FBI with the pursuit of DEI, a quota system that deteriorates the organization’s functionality. An empowered, politically motivated government agency seeking its own agenda while hiring and promoting unqualified people is a perfect storm for disastrous consequences.
While the FBI was making up stories and then tripping over them, the woke agenda showed up in a variety of other forms. Because of the tragedy, the Sugar Bowl Game between Georgia and Notre Dame was postponed until yesterday. Woke ESPN, whose parent company is Disney, a firm that has also fallen into the woke abyss, was chosen to televise the game.
Instead of anticipating what was sure to be a somber and patriotic beginning to the game and ensuring it was covered entirely, ESPN and Disney chose to have the announcers blather on and ignore what was taking place.
The lack of compassion and patriotism was astounding. After a moment of silence in tribute to the dead and injured, the Caesars Superdome crowd chanted “USA! USA! USA!” in a patriotic display of unity. Sadly, anyone tuning in never got to see it. Patriotism is not part of the woke agenda, and like misinformation, the radical left thinks they get to decide what the rest of us can be compassionate about.
Still, the insensitivity didn’t stop there. Instead of compassion and patriotism, the television audience was treated to a lecture from Tom Wilson, the President and CEO of Allstate. Instead of taking a stand against terrorism, Wilson thought it better to chastise Americans about inclusivity.
“Our prayers went to victims and their families. We also need to be stronger together by overcoming an addiction to divisiveness and negativity. Join Allstate working in local communities all across America to amplify the positive, increase trust, and accept people’s imperfections and differences. Together, we win.”
Wokeness is a disease that distorts priorities in the wrong direction. Disney and ESPN dropped the ball by deliberately not airing the moment of silence and the unity being shared inside the stadium of a shaken city.
Then, they allowed the CEO of an insurance company, a representative of one of the most corrupt industries in the world, to lecture Americans on right and wrong.
It’s a sad commentary on how dysfunctional and blind a person or organization can become when the woke agenda of the left poisons them.
There is an old proverb that is attributed to many, it says:
“There are none so blind as those who will not see.”
No matter who initially said it, it perfectly sums up the woke left.
