I am not a fan of Disney, or Star Wars, and had never seen The Mandalorian or heard the name Gina Carano before yesterday. What I learned about Ms. Carano, from reading mainstream media headlines, and sifting through some of the tweets under the Fire Gina Carano hashtag, is that she is a bigot, a psychopath, a transphobe, an anti-Semite, and a danger to herself and others. I learned that she has now been booted from her role on The Mandalorian and fired by Disney after an Instagram post that amounted to the final straw in a whole series of offenses. The Instagram post has been reported by media outlets like USA Today and the Chicago Sun Times as straightforwardly anti-Semitic. We are not told merely that some people claim it’s anti-Semitic, or that it is seen by some as anti-Semitic, but that it just simply is anti-Semitic.
All in all, this Gina Carano person seems like a pretty unsavory character. Or she would seem that way to anyone stupid enough to still take the popular narrative at face value. The rest of us will want to do a bit more research into the topic in order to form our own judgments. Fortunately, it doesn’t take much research to discover that the narrative is completely, and expectedly, bogus.
LucasFilm sent out a statement declaring that Carano’s “social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable.” Is there any basis for this charge? What did the now-deleted Instagram post, that has been dubbed anti-Semitic by not only the media but her former employer, actually say? The post in question appears to be a screenshot of someone else’s post, which Carano had repulished on her own page. It says:

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?
Really Carano should sue for defamation.
SMH. Where does this lead?
Doncha just love it when the Elites decide to beat up on each other?
I think Nancy Pelosi called AOC a clown, or a bitch, or perhaps i have it the wrong way ‘round, and the bartender accused the other of being a clown, or a bitch. Wait, I remember, they BOTH said it!!!
Violence.
There is a HUGE opportunity for new businesses in every sector. I hope patriot entrepreneurs are listening.
I love me some Gina. Now even more.
Watch “Haywire”. It is great.
This actress isn’t an elitist leftist. She’s one of us.
I grew up listening to stories of Germany from my mother and my aunt (my uncles wife, not my mother’s sister). And I feel like it’s happen8ng again. I keep thinking I’m just projecting the experiences.
We are heading in a very dangerous direction.
It isn’t just you.
I’m afraid you’re correct! Arm up!
I get to be Lord Humungous...
I truly did not know this detail about the Jews being beaten in the streets...by their neighbors and by children, just because they were Jewish, and no other reason.
That puts a new spin on what many calls similarities to right now, where for some folks, just the fact that you are a conservative is enough to strip away all your personal rights to anything. This is where we are already.
Ask any Hollywood actor or so called ‘influencer’
Commies do the same.
Warning to all SJW types: come at me and it will be your last battlefield.
I have ZERO problem canceling you permanently.
These people need to be given clubs and whips.
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?
Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?...
The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!
If...if...if...
We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”
