What else can you expect from the Most Converged Place on Earth?

The Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance ride broke down just minutes after opening today as part of Disney’s $1 billion Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge expansion at Walt Disney World’s Hollywood Studios.

“Rise of the resistance broke down after about 18 minutes,” one park guest tweeted.

No corporation, however massive, can escape the consequences of corporate cancer once it contracts the disease.

The Christian church is now almost entirely bereft of leadership:

Calling it “pronoun hospitality,” Southern Baptist Convention President J.D. Greear revealed on an “Ask Me Anything” episode of his podcast that he prefers to call transgender people by their preferred pronouns.

Greear said that while there is room for disagreement and Christians should disagree charitably, he sees it as a hospitable courtesy to refer to transgender people by their chosen pronouns, despite knowing that their sex does not match their descriptors.

Actually, I have no problem with this at all on the personal level. It is simply polite to address people as they prefer to be addressed, especially when they are crazy. But to take this position as a leader is simply wrong and betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of the leader’s duty to put himself and his personal preferences last, after the interests of the organization and his members.

Christianity has been betrayed by the Cult of Nice. And while niceties are an important aspect of civilization and correct etiquette is generally preferable to its absence, manners do not trump math, science, history, or DNA when it comes to speaking the truth about reality. The personal is not the political, which is why sometimes the latter should trump the former.

There is no longer any room for doubt. The cucking on the anti-LBGTPQ front is real and so is the first stage of the convergence of Chick-fil-A:

Chick-fil-A’s announcement that it was dumping the Salvation Army and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, which have come under attack by gay activist groups, caught Christian fans of the fast food chain by surprise. It shouldn’t have if they had been paying attention to CFA’s corporate structure.

The donations were coming out of the Chick-fil-A Foundation. The Executive Director of the CFA Foundation is Rodney D. Bullard, a former White House fellow and Assistant US Attorney. Some may have mistaken him for a conservative because he was a fellow in the Bush Administration, but he was an Obama donor, and, more recently, had donated to Hillary Clinton’s campaign while at Chick-fil-A.

Like many corporations, Chick-fil-A branded its charitable giving as a form of social responsibility. Bullard became its Vice President of Corporate Social Responsibility. Unlike charity, corporate social responsibility is a leftist endeavor to transform corporations into the political arms of radical causes. Like other formerly conservative corporations, Chick-fil-A had made the fundamental error of adopting the language and the infrastructure of its leftist peers. And that made what happened entirely inevitable.

In an interview with Business Insider earlier this year, Bullard emphasized that the Chick-fil-A Foundation had a “higher calling than any political or cultural war.” The foundation boss was preparing the way for the shakeup that was coming in the fall. Even while he claimed that the CFA Foundation had a higher calling than a political or cultural war, he was preparing to accommodate the Left’s cultural war.

Bullard would have been seen as a safe bet. The CFA Foundation and the Christian groups it supported were so entangled that Bullard serves on the Salvation Army’s National Advisory Board and was on the National Board of Trustees of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. But Bullard’s vision was not that of charity, but of corporate social responsibility. And the two things are fundamentally different.

Charity helps people. Corporate social responsibility is virtue signaling by capitalists to anti-capitalists. Unlike charity, corporate social responsibility isn’t about helping people, but ticking off ideological and identity politics boxes like diversity and the environment. If people accidentally get helped in the process of helping a corporation signal its membership in the politically correct creed, that can’t be helped.

The Chick-fil-A Foundation will go on funding leftist groups like Atlanta’s Westside Future Fund. The Westside Future Fund is a project of the Atlanta Committee for Progress together with former Mayor Kasim Reed. It will just opt out of funding Christian groups whose views offend anyone on the Left…. There was also a $10,000 donation to Saris to Suits whose mission is to “advance women’s empowerment, education, gender equality, and social justice.”

There’s money for social justice, but not for the Salvation Army.

There was $25,000 for UNICEF and $75,000 for the Andrew Young Foundation. That last one isn’t a surprise. Carter’s radical UN ambassador sits on the CFA Foundation’s advisory board. $20,000 went to the Latino Leaders Network, another $20,000 to the Harvard Debate Diversity Network, $45,000 to the King Center for Nonviolent Social Change, and $5,000 was allotted to Friends of Refugees.

Looks like I had better update Corporate Cancer sooner than planned. There is no excuse for any of this stuff. If Bullard isn’t promptly fired, then the SJW cancer will rapidly metastasize throughout the corporation.

The chicken restaurant takes its first big step toward corporate convergence:

Chick-Fil-A said on Monday that it has stopped funding two Christian charities after coming under fire in recent weeks from LGBTQ activists. The fast-food chain’s foundation has donated millions of dollars to The Salvation Army and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Both organizations have a history of opposing same-sex marriage.

Chick-fil-A said it no longer funds the organizations.

“We made multi-year commitments to both organisations and we fulfilled those obligations in 2018,” a spokeswoman for Chick-fil-A told the Thomson Reuters Foundation, adding the company would focus its giving on “education, homelessness and hunger.”

When reached by CNBC, the company declined to comment further.

The Atlanta-based company has faced criticism in the past for its charitable donations and CEO Dan Cathy’s public comments opposing gay marriage. As Chick-fil-A expands outside of its stronghold in the southeastern U.S., activists have put pressure on the company.

This echoes the convergence of NASCAR. Forsaking the existing audience in favor of chasing one that they will never find.

Can you imagine how egregious the behavior of the SJW must have been to actually get him fired, when threatening to punch and blacklist coworkers, and burn down the building, did not suffice in the past?

Google said it has fired an employee for leaking staffer names and personal details to the media and placed two others on leave for allegedly violating company policies, evidence of escalating tension between management and personnel engaged in labor-related activism.

A Google spokeswoman said the company is investigating the employees who were placed on leave. One of them had searched for and shared confidential documents outside the scope of their job, while the other tracked the individual calendars of staff working in the community platforms, human resources, and communications teams, she said. The tracking had made the staff in those departments feel unsafe, the spokeswoman said.

Google didn’t identify the employee who was fired, or the staffers placed on leave.

The company’s statement came after Bloomberg News inquired about two employees being placed on leave who had participated in activism at Google. The suspensions have been a hot topic of discussion at the company in the last week, stoking anger among some workers and prompting claims that Google is punishing people who have taken a stand against management, according to three employees familiar with the matter.

If even a fully-converged corporation like Google finds it necessary to disemploy its SJWs, how on Earth can your company afford not to do so?

 A noise like… like a huge pair of scissors opening and shutting?

PayPal is working to end their services for far-right YouTuber Stefan Molyneux, the internet personality behind such viral videos as “The Story of Your Enslavement,” “Take the Red Pill” and “The Flat Earth Conspiracy Debate.” The online payment platform confirmed the termination in a statement shared with Newsweek, writing that “After conducting an extensive review, PayPal has made the decision to discontinue our business relationship with Stefan Molyneux.”

PayPal’s decision to remove Molyneux from their service is an injurious rebuke to the far-right personality, as much of his income has come from fan gifts, including recurring donations through PayPal…. Sleeping Giants co-founder Nandini Jammi first made efforts to bring Molyneux’s content to PayPal’s attention in April, she told Right Wing Watch. On October 14, she retweeted a post displaying screenshots of Molyneux’s Twitter activity promoting anti-Semitic conspiracy theories regarding the media. Jammi encouraged her followers to contact PayPal directly and ask why Molyneux was still allowed to use the platform.

Snicker-snackeroo!

The media’s complaints about China’s social credit score system are growing more and more transparently ridiculous by the day, most notably in light of the announcement by one of Britain’s National Health Service trusts to DENY MEDICAL TREATMENT to patients it deems to have fallen afoul of the current social justice Narrative:

A National Health Service (NHS) trust has announced that it will withdraw treatment from patients it deems to be racist or sexist.

The North Bristol NHS Trust announced that patients will be subject a “sports-style disciplinary yellow card and then final red card in which treatment would be withdrawn as soon as is safe” on its official website.

The policy would cover not just “Threatening and offensive language” but also “Racist or sexist language, gestures or behaviour” more generally, as well as “malicious allegations” — a rather troubling caveat, given the NHS has in the past been entangled in large-scale malpractice scandals which hospitals and staff have initially denied.

In other words, you can quite reasonably anticipate the medical services across the West to soon be providing free medical treatment to invaders while denying any treatment at all to the native peoples who object to their invasion and replacement.

This is evil of a sort that few of us can even imagine. And you wonder when I tell you that even the rigors of Chung Kuo will be preferable to the Healed World?

In Great Britain, comedy is controlled by the BBC and the city councils. But it’s not any better in the USA, where the control is farmed out to Wikipedia admins, Hollywood agencies, and the converged social media companies for thought policing:

Controversial comedian Roy Chubby Brown will not be performing in Swansea next year, after the city’s Labour council cancelled a planned appearance because it ‘doesn’t reflect its values’.

The entertainer, 74, was due to appear in the Welsh city next April to perform at its Grand Theatre.

But Swansea Council has now scrapped the show after deciding it would not work alongside its new ‘programming aspirations’.

They’ve apologised to 52 advance ticket holders, who will be refunded.

Furious fans have slammed the council following the decision, accusing them of dictating what the public can and cannot watch.

Born Royston Vasey, Roy Chubby Brown’s acts consist of blue humour, a free speaking style and lack of concern for political correctness.

Though controversial, the comic has a legion of fans and performs at the Grand Theatre regularly. 

In a statement released on social media, Swansea Council said: “We have decided not to go ahead with a provisional booking for Roy ‘Chubby’ Brown after considering how it would work alongside our new programming aspirations and partnerships. We want all our communities and staff to feel welcome and we felt this booking was unlikely to reflect our values and commitments to them.

“After fully considering the booking, we are refunding 52 advance sale ticket-holders and we apologise to those who may have been disappointed. We recently decided that a fresh approach is essential if we are to cater for future audience needs. Our aim is to refresh the Grand Theatre programming and offer something new and fresh for all our communities; this will meet Swansea Council’s commitment to culture, regeneration and equal opportunity.”

It’s not an accident that the social justice program of Tolerance, Equality, Progress, Inclusivity, and Diversity can be described as TEPID.

Reality is hard when you’re an SJW. From the comments:

Don’t try to pin him on me. This kind of lede is practically an announcement that — just like Camestros — you pull the name of my blog into your disputes to generate attention. For shame.
– Mike Glyer, File 770

While Mike certainly isn’t to blame for Camestros’s foot-shooting antics, Camestros is part of the File 770 community and that serves as a useful identifier for those who have no idea who he is or why he’s nipping at my ankles. I would think it is readily apparent that I have absolutely zero need to generate attention these days; to the contrary, I methodically refuse every single request for interviews, stories, appearances and “perspective” from the mainstream media, the Internet media, and the YouTubers alike.

Wait, I did answer a few questions from someone connected to the Unz Review the other day, but then, I make exceptions for people with whom I am working….

I don’t blame the SF-SJWs for failing to grasp how much bigger Unauthorized is than their entire community at this point, since it’s outside their area of interest, but sooner or later, they’re going to be confronted with what is almost certainly going to strike them as a very ugly reality. This blog alone is much closer to Tor.com’s traffic than to File 770’s, and that doesn’t include the YouTube viewers or UATV viewers.

This news is hardly surprising:

Yes, today they did it. YouTube deleted our channel without notice. Special thanks goes out to all our members for your incredible support. You ensure that we can continue. No matter how much they limit and stifle our ability to speak, share our perspectives, talk about news, events, history and the future, with your help can we continue to produce content.

It’s great that nationalists are accepting their deplatforming with calm equanimity rather than the shock, horror, and tears of the average conservative, but their responses would be considerably more effective and consequential if the deplatformed would take legal action and make the rubble bounce. As long as no one resists, the deplatformings will continue.

Not being an expert on Swedish law, I can’t analyze their probabilities of success, but as a general rule, European courts are extremely disfavorable to Google and Google-owned companies.
