The Firing Of Actress Gina Carano By Lucasfilm For Posting About Dictatorships Basically Proves Her Right
On Wednesday Lucasfilm decided to fire actress Gina Carano, who played the popular character Cara Dune on the Disney+ Star Wars series The Mandalorian, for what they deemed 'abhorrent' tweets about what they perceived to be "denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities...”
Unfortunately for Lucasfilm they actually misunderstood Carano's message entirely labeling it as anti-Semitic when in actuality it was a statement on how dictatorships turn the populace against each other before they have the ability to arrest people who they believe are a threat to them for either their political affiliation or racial background.
As Carano pointed out, the Nazi Party did this back in the 1930s and 40s, and we need to make sure it never happens here.
We all need to be very afraid when people start referring to people with different ideas about politics as enemies.
To bad the folks a Lucasfilm weren't sharp enough to figure that out before they basically ruined a actress's career. After the firing Carano's agent also also dropped her so it looks like any future acting gigs are off the table for now.
So to punish someone for pointing out that some politicians are starting to talk like Nazis you use Nazi like tactics to ruin them.
Guess Carano was really on to something.
From The Daily Wire:Disney reportedly fired conservative actress Gina Carano on Wednesday because of a series of posts she made on social media that critics claimed were offensive.
The post that generated the most controversy was a screenshot of another person’s post that she then posted onto her own Instagram account. The post compared the current politically divisive culture in the U.S. to Nazi Germany. The screenshot stated:
Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers but by their neighbors…even by children.
“Because history is edited, most people today don’t realize that to get to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up thousands of Jews, the government first made their own neighbors hate them simply for being Jews. How is that any different from hating someone for their political views?”
“As Carano has been an outspoken supporter of former president Donald Trump and has often complained about backlash against her conservative opinions, many critics took the post as her equating Republicans with Jews in Nazi Germany,” The Washington Post reported. “The post has since been deleted, but not before fans captured the moment and shared it widely. Critics called for the actress to be fired for her online rhetoric under the hashtag #FireGinaCarano, which trended on Twitter on Wednesday.”
“Gina Carano is not currently employed by Lucasfilm and there are no plans for her to be in the future,” Lucasfilm, a production company that is owned by Disney, said in a statement. “Nevertheless, her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable.”
Another photo on Carano’s story featured a person with several cloth masks covering their entire face and head. The caption said “Meanwhile in California.”
Both posts were removed from Carano’s Instagram story Wednesday afternoon. Other posts, including a quote saying “Expecting everyone you encounter to agree with every belief or view you hold is f***ing wild” and one saying “Jeff Epstein didn’t kill himself,” remained.
The Daily Mail highlighted other things that Carano did on social media that triggered leftists, including when she put “beep/bop/boop” in her bio on Twitter instead of listing pronounes.
“They’re mad cuz I won’t put pronouns in my bio to show my support for trans lives,” Carano wrote in September. “After months of harassing me in every way, I decided to put 3 VERY controversial words in my bio…beep/bop/boop. I’m not against trans lives at all. They need to find less abusive representation.”
