Intolerant social media hall monitors are trying to enforce groupthink.
=======================================================================
On Star Wars-based TV series The Mandalorian, actress Gina Carano portrays Cara Dune, a former shock trooper.
And it seems that she is very comfortable “playing” a similar role on social media, where she continues to stand her ground against outrage mobs who keep going up against her in a bid to get her fired and “canceled.”
And it’s not just about something Carano posted herself – now her dogged detractors are going through her Twitter likes to prove their point against the actress.
The need not only to have an opinion and freely express it on social networks, but to make sure those holding different views don’t get the same chance, and are moreover run out of there and fired from their jobs is what’s fueling “cancel culture” and its proponents.
In the case of Carano, whose political position is thought to be more conservative than mainstream Hollywood, this manifests in the likes of Syfy FanGrrls Associate Editor Courtney Enlow tweeting that the actress is “the worst” after finding out she was skeptical about the integrity of the US election process, and had liked posts by Turning Point USA’s Charlie Kirk, BlazeTV’s Lauren Chen, and former House of Representatives speaker Newt Gingrich.
Enlow took screenshots of this “forbidden” Twitter activity, but apparently came to her senses and later deleted her own tweet. However, she maintains that Carano should be fired from the show, finding support from a number of Twitter users who were reportedly happy to add insults (calling the actress “human trash,” “trumper nutjob,” “bigot,” “transphobe,” etc.), while backing the idea of Disney sacking her purely for her political views.
Carano’s choice was not to get embroiled in any of this and instead post, among other positive things, “Let your spirit be filled with strength & peace.”
Carano’s past run-ins with social media mobs saw her accused of transphobia for refusing to list pronouns in her Twitter bio, of racism for sharing an anti-Nazi photo, and for her opposition to coronavirus lockdowns that have been devastating the economy and people’s lives for nearly a year.
A lot of these are Dem operatives with computer programs that do the dirty work, Bots, if you will. They are lazy folks....................
“Gina Carano can beat me up any time she wants!”
Hey! That’s my line!
Of course, she could take both of us on...and pummel us mercilessly!
PIF...get your glasses checked!
She’s hot!
“..Too bad those with the time and energy to go through every single tweet someone makes doesn’t have a real job where they could possibly become an actual productive member of society....”
Exactly.
They live in their momma & daddy’s basement for the last 30 years for free doing nothing but this kind of crap on social media all day...they’re totally useless bottom feeders off society.
Twatter should be left to the twits. Normals should migrate to Parler.
I watched her in a movie recently, don’t remember the title (darn dementia). There was lots of kick ass fighting in it. The fight scenes were incredibly real...don’t think she used a double. Plus, she was doing stuff that looked like typical MMA moves. Just impressive.
Haywire?
I personally know Favreau here in Hokywood. Fav wont do squat but may get a nudge from Disme.
Directors don’t like interference from fans.................
Great post!
So now the Enemy raises its’ head.
America take note!
The Democrat/Left has no tolerance for tolerance.
“ Lefties are always whining about the 50’s era blacklist against commies, but have no problem instituting one of their own against anyone who thinks differently than they do.”

It isn’t just that they do this (and they clearly do), but when you point this out to them they either deny it or have some rationalization for it (usually along the lines of, “You Nazis deserve it” - which I find rather ironic and infuriating because my family had somewhere north of 70 people murdered by the Nazis). I always point out that if anyone in the conversation is acting like a Nazi it is them, and that they need to seriously reconsider the path that they’re on.
Of course, now they have the Trump Accountability Project, which is as Nazi-like of an endeavor as we have seen in this country since we forced about 120,000 Japanese and American citizens of Japanese descent into concentration camps (which are very bad, but still quite distinguishable from the death camps run by the Nazis). As a reminder, all interned there has been forced to divest their homes and businesses within a very short time, so they effectively had their property seized because they couldn’t get anything close to full value - I know this because my father went to school with a guy whose father lost a life roof hard work by being forced to sell his house and dental practice for pennies on the dollar - this, just a short time after the Depression ended. The TPA seeks to do essentially the same thing (and, perhaps, quite a bit more - the fact that they aren’t saying to execute Trump supporters for the “crime against humanity “ of backing Trump doesn’t mean that they don’t WANT to do that - they are, after all, totalitarians).
Too much woman for you?
My type of gal...
Wonder if she has a Sister/Cousin that’s a redhead...
Deadpool? She played Angel and had a kick butt fight scene with Colossus.
Looks like a guy - maybe one with “operations” - not at all feminine.
A COMITERN canard put forth by US commies and fellow travelers.
The real fact is that the red agents of influence had effectively infiltrate movie unions, writers, and Screen Actors Guild fully supported by FDRs advisers to promote solidarity with Soviets during WWII.
Read Reagan about how patriotic actors had to meet in secret to formulate overthrow of SAG leadership. IIRC, he and others felt the need for concealed carry to protect against red union goons.
Dalton Trumbo, the much touted martyr to McCarthy's Army Senate Hearings and HUAC was a self admitted card carrying communist thatbpleaded the Fifth. His rehabilitation in Hollywood was a clear sign of the proggie return ofbHollywood control.
Diana West has done great research on this.
Do not like masculine women as they often are ...
Gina Carano is hot as hell.
