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

Carano's posts were somewhat misinformed about what happened to the Jews under the Nazis in Germany, but there was nothing "abhorrent" about them. Meanwhile, Disney is still employing James Gunn, a director who tweeted numerous times about sex with boys.

I’m still trying to figure out which people Disney think that Carano denigrated. Was it the Nazis, was it the people who turned in their Jewish neighbors? It doesn’t even make sense.

Agree. The round up of Jews in Germany and Western Europe was either done through voluntarily complying with orders to report for “transport” or by arrest (usually by local police) and local imprisonment until shipped East. A lot of informing did go on but very little violence if I am recalling sources correctly.

From the histories I have read and videos of historical events posted on-line, the savaging of Jews (and others) was mostly a conquered territories of Eastern Europe phenomena. Although there were plenty of malefactors everywhere, I recall Ukraine and the Baltic states as being the most enthusiastic abusers - at least on film. They certainly supplied their share of recruits for the Einsatzgruppen and death camp staffs.

The key factor in triggering this behavior was that the “authorities” now gave permission, condoned, and actively encouraged the abuse and murder of the anathematized populations.

This is the point Gina Carano was making: permission is now being given.

A one way river of abuse is now being directed toward the “other” by the liberal/left. I may have missed it, but I have yet to hear prominent Democrats strongly and repeatedly condemn the very violent rhetoric and actions being directed at Trump supporters, conservatives, and traditional values Americans generally. This violent rhetoric is especially pernicious among supposed left/liberal Democrat political leaders, media personalities, and social media “influencers.”

On those occasions when such leaders do feel the need to issue statements condemning the violent language being used, their pronouncements are always conditional and have the feel of being issued mostly as a CYA measure just in case things start to go sideways later on.

What part of her posts were misinformed. It is my understanding that their neighbors did indeed turn on the Jews.
