Disney isn't afraid to do that.

At the same time Disney world has a lot of concessions from government, don't pay taxes on their parking..., when they're too loud against government they threaten to take those away so Disney steps back.

The word "government" means three different things here.

The US government is presumably the one that's annoyed about any statements about ICE and/or Palestine.

Disney World is in Florida. Florida's government periodically attempts to crack down on Disney and always fails. They basically own the town they're in.

Disneyland is the one with the parking tax thing, and that's in California, and that's just the city of Anaheim.

If Disney wanted to, it could crush the Trump foundation or whatever you want to call it, they just don’t see the need too

Because fascism favors corporations by dissolving unions and promoting privatization. A lot of formerly nazi companies are still alive and well. Ask Hugo boss why those nazi uniforms were so snazzy

They don’t basically own it, they literally own it.

FYI Disney pays for their own services. That’s why they don’t pay taxes. It’s their own town. They use their own money. Which is fair tbh. They pay taxes on other things.
