I’m Jewish. I don’t feel “denigrated” by Gina Carano’s recent statement. Shame on Disney/Lucasfilm for firing her!

By Daniel Alman (aka Dan from Squirrel Hill)

February 11, 2021

Gina Carano, actress on the TV series The Mandalorian, recently posted the following on TikTok:

“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?”

Her employer, Disney/Lucasfilm, responded with the following:

“Gina Carano is not currently employed by Lucasfilm and there are no plans for her to be in the future. Nevertheless, her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable.”

I’m Jewish.

I don’t feel “denigrated” by Carano’s statment.

I actually agree with what she said.

And even if I didn’t agree with what she said, I still support free speech for everyone.

I’ve seen every episode of The Mandalorian.

I think it was wrong for Disney/Lucasfilm to fire Carano.

This wonderful TV series can only be harmed by her firing.

Shame on Disney/Lucasfilm for firing her!

I don’t care if 95% of Jews felt denigrated.
She was fired for a true comment while on her own time.
I hope she sues them for a bunch.
She should get a Jewish lawyer to rub it in...

She was making a very basic point about how governments “unperson” people and make it OK to harass them.

She didn’t deny the Shoa. She warned against a new one.

What’s even more ridiculous, is that she was fired for telling the truth. The Nazis did vilify and dehumanize the Jewish people to the point that they were outwardly attacked, exactly what the Demonic Party does to anyone who disagrees or defies their demonic policies or vile “woke” insanity.

I’m not Jewish, and I had not heard of Gina till yesterday, but I looked up her Wikipedia page and I’ll be damned if her dad isn’t quite possibly pound for pound the greatest Dallas Cowboys quarterback of all time.

I’m not Jewish...but I agree. Things could turn nasty pretty quick. First it starts with the people being hateful...then moves to government. Now, we have Silicone Valley in the mix.

Ditto. She wasn’t being anti-Semitic; she was pointing out that cancelling people is what the Nazis did to the Jews to pave the way for much worse.

What she said was the truth, which is a rarity today. In fact this is the age of the anti-truth being pushed as dogma.

The nazis didn’t wake up one day and start shipping Jews off to death camps; they worked their way up to it thru their control of the media and perceptions. Nazis pushed the idea of the enemy within and they chose Jews to single out for their hatred which they then ginned up in the public. Why? Because corrupt regimes singling out an “enemy” is a classic means of focussing the publics hated away from government and toward a scapegoat.

Unless there's something else, she's correct. Shame on Disney, who I assume focused on not by Nazi soldiers without placing it in context.

One tells the truth now at their own peril. One spouts the company line long and loud no matter how absurd it is.

Ironically one of the greatest examples of what Gina Carano is talking about is the Nazi propaganda movie Der ewige Jude.

Hollywood has been hard at work churning out hate propaganda against America and America supporters for many years.

She was right on the money, what is taking place right now in this country is scarily reminiscent what took place in Germany in the thirties. Unfortunately we live in an environment where free speech as well as law and order are under attack. Give it some time and before long the US as we have come to know it ceased to exist.

On a related note...
The Star Wars YouTube channel is getting ripped to shreds over the Carano firing.
It’s a beautiful thing.

I wonder how long before they pull a Biden and disable the comment section.

She did tell the truth. But in the age of Political Correctness, telling the truth is a capital crime.

The Left is using the same tactics today the National Socialists used against the Jews against Whites, gun owners, and now Trump supporters quite success fully. And all three groups are in denial that said tactics are being employed against them.

Here’s how it works. I delivered a roast to a departing female employee. I had it reviewed by two senior employees and delivered it at the offsite going-away luncheon. The entire room room joined in the laughter, including the woman, not the subject of the roast, who later reported me for sexual harassment. The departing employee hugged and kissed me. When asked later by management she said, no, she was not harassment.

Here’s the important part. The opinion of the woman who was allegedly harassed did not matter. What mattered, and this was written into, what was at that time an unpublished policy, was if an uninvolved third party thinks it’s harassment then, by definition, it is harassment.

By using this type of definition on virtually everything, then anyone can be eliminated. I witnessed this technique used to get rid of people that someone simply disliked. Incidentally, if an employee is high enough up in management they could expose themselves to a woman and nothing would be done. (Probably the complaining woman would be fired. Given the Orwellian rules, it’s easy enough to generate a cause.)
