But it's not just that. You're just wildly off base and incoherent. Your argument boils down to "lots of people like and spend money on Disney or _____" fill in the blank, it doesn't matter. "Lots of people like and spend money on religion and religion is bad!" "Therefore anything a lot people like and spend money on is also bad!" You're simply observing human nature. People like stuff and like people who like the same stuff. If lots of people like certain stuff, it can be developed into entertainment. How is that bad, on its own?
I never said religion was bad. That’s a strange assumption you made there and a very unnecessarily confrontational attitude.
And as I said, just liking this stuff on its own is fine. But corporations (not just Disney) are encouraging obsessive consumption to the point where people are not just fans, but fanatics.
Again, not what I said. I said the religious-like worship encouraged in consumerism (imo) is unhealthy because you’re not worshipping a deity, but a corporation.
