.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gina_Carano#Social_media_and_political_viewsThe hashtag #FireGinaCarano resurfaced in February 2021 after Carano shared a post on Instagram comparing American conservatives to Jews in Nazi Germany.[5][7] According to the Washington Post, Carano's post said: "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," and, "How is that any different from hating someone for their political views?".[5]
In response, Lucasfilm stated that Carano was no longer employed by them and would not appear in any future Star Wars projects, citing the social media posts which they said "denigrat[ed] people based on their cultural and religious identities".[6][7] That same day, Carano was dropped by talent agency UTA due to the controversy.[7][73][74] Conservatives on social media responded to the firing with the hashtag #CancelDisneyPlus.[75]
The ironies just pile up. She warns about organized political hatred, describing what happened to the Jews in Nazi Germany as a terrifying thing, that is now being repeated in the U.S., and then... is accused of "hate speech", and her Disney contract torn up because she allegedly posted hateful anti-semitic remarks?!?
Only a Democrat zealot could rationalize this as somehow right.
Interesting that she independently came up with the same comparison I did 6 or 8 years ago, when I said that "Republicans are the scapegoated Jews in Obama's Germany".
Although that persecution has intensiied since then, particularly in the last 30 days.
This simultaneous post by her co-star Pedro Pascal, un-punished by Disney, further underscores Disney's one-sided hypocrisy:

[in a meme by Pascal re-tweeted by] one frustrated critic.
This follow up post after said it quite well:

For those keeping score: Dehumanize millions and you get to keep your job. Attempt to humanize millions and you will lose it. That’s LucasFilm’s standard.
