Disney Star Wars Fires Gina Carano, After Months of Leftwing Extremists Demanding They Do So

Gina Carano is a former pro mixed martial artist fighter who's become an actress. She's lately starred in Disney Lucasfilm's The Mandalorian.

She triggered the trans extremists by refusing to put her pronouns in her Twitter bio. They demanded Disney fire her. Submit or die.

She triggered them further by posting the photo of a sea of Nazis giving the heil salute, and one lone man refusing, to mock the leftwing's creepy Nazi-Stasi conformity policing.

The leftwing extremists demanded Disney fire her for correctly categorizing them as Nazis.

This has gone on for months and months. Periodically the trans extremists and the Twitter leftwing scalphunters restarted cancellation campaigns every other week, for no reason except that they did not like being defied.

Disney subtly encouraged this hate campaign by never offering a statement of support of Carano. The leftwing mobs took this, correctly, as a signal to keep stalking and harassing Carano.

The leftwing media calls this monthslong campaign of genuine harassment and cyberstalking "backlash." Backlash to someone using free speech in an unauthorized way.

The Mandalorian's Gina Carano Faces Backlash for Controversial Social Media Posts

The actress has come under fire after she seemingly compared the treatment of conservatives in the U.S. to that of Jewish people during Nazi-era Germany

Here is the Forbidden Speech this witch used:

Carano, who plays Cara Dune on both seasons of Disney Plus' "The Mandalorian," garnered backlash on social media Wednesday after sharing several controversial posts on her Instagram story.

Carano shared the posts on her story late Tuesday night. One of the posts she shared compared today's divided political climate to Nazi Germany.

"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 How is that any different from hating someone for their political views,” the post, which was originally made on a different Instagram account, read.

Did I say she said that? Or did she "share" that post, written by someone else? If she wrote it, why do they keep saying she "shared" it?

This woman has been hounded by leftwing thought control thugs for a fucking year. Yes, she's going to start to notice some points of comparison between the treatment of disfavored minorities in the US today and in Nazi Germany in the thirties.

Because these comparisons are obvious and will occur to anyone who isn't actively looking to ignore or dismiss them.


Disney had reportedly been looking for a reason to fire her, because Disney is all about transgenders and leftwing messaging and nothing else:


@AaronCouch

According to sources, Lucasfilm planned to unveil Gina Carano as the star of her own show during December's investors day. They scrubbed those plans after erratic tweets in November

"Erratic tweets" means: refusing to do what transgenders demand biological women do.

Aaron Couch
@AaronCouch

"They have been looking for a reason to fire her for two months, and today was the final straw."

Yes, look at all these problematic statements:

This is not the first time Carano, who played former Rebel Alliance soldier Cara Dune on The Mandalorian, has been the focus of social media ire for her political comments. Last November, she issued contentious tweets, one in which she mocked mask-wearing amid the novel coronavirus pandemic and another in which she falsely suggested voter fraud occurred during the 2020 presidential election.

For months, it was rumored that while the very leftwing Disney and even more leftwing Lucasfilm wanted to fire her, she was being protected by suspected Republican Jon Favreau, producer of The Mandalorian.

Well, either that was never true, or Disney just decided to declare that conservatives are not welcome in the Magic Kingdom, because they've now fired her.

And her talent agency, UTA, dropped her.

Well obviously, people who disagree with the merged Corporate Government shouldn't be allowed to work then.

That's nothing at all like Nazi Germany!

Oh no! Well obviously, she's not allowed to work then.

That's nothing at all like Nazi Germany!

Now, you might think, "Well gee, maybe Disney just has a very strict policy about its employees not posting anything inflammatory online."

You might think that. But then, you'd have to overlook the fact that Disney just hired a hardcore-bitter anti-white racist to be the host of the podcast for their Woke PC Bullshit Star Wars franchise, "The High Republic."


Someone who just can't stop telling white people how awful they are and how they are not even to speak to her about her insults.

Read those. I don't want to quote them.

Disney must have taken some action in that case, you might think.

Well, you'd right.

Disney claimed that it was the people pointing out this racist's racism who were The Real Racists, and offered an unequivocal defense of their racist.

Krystina Arielle: Star Wars supports High Republic host after racist abuse

I'm not even going to say it. But if you're keeping Disney just because of your kids... maybe it's time to talk with your kids about the right thing sometimes not being the easy thing.

Or maybe look into the joys and wonders of modern-day piracy.

Below, Gina Carano's appearance on The Federalist's talk show. She asserted that it should be okay in the "Land of the Free" that she appears on The Federalist's talk show.

She was wrong.

America is no longer free.

America is no longer America.

I'm not subscribed to Disney, so I can't cancel. I did think about subscribing this last week.

Well, thanks for saving me money, Disney!

The only thing I can do is to execute my own secondary boycott, here. I listen to a lot of anti-PC nerd culture podcasts.

But if they continue covering Disney's shows and movies, I'm going to unsubscribe and stop listening to them.

Lines have to be drawn. We cannot allow the Nazis to make us internal exiles in our own country just because we want to see Boba Fett on the fucking Mandalorian.

Maybe Disney should check in with Marvel Comics about how its "If you don't like my politics, don't buy my books" initiative:


From Ya Boi Zack: the leftwing are Nazis. Period.


Oh by the way:

How are you enjoying your return to normalcy and civility, as NeverTrump promised you? How are you enjoying your healing now, Suburban Karens?


Weird, it's almost as if the problem wasn't Donald Trump.

It's almost as if the problem was always the increasingly unhinged and Nazi-minded leftwing -- just like we always told our NeverTrump "intellectuals."

But they didn't consider the possibility that we were right. They were too busy being " " " clever " " " on Twitter, showing off for their Twitter " " " friends " " ".


Pedro Pascal is the leftwing SJW star of the Mandalorian. He's allowed to make Holocaust comparisons because he was the first to bow to transgender extremist demands he post "his" pronouns.

If you're bewildered about how those two things are connected, welcome to the club.

Though it has something to do with membership in the Church of Woke:


Matt Walsh
@MattWalshBlog

Put the pronouns in your bio so that the Angel of Cancellation will pass over your household

Disney also pretended to fire James Gunn -- but then rehired him after the heat was down -- despite his history of tweeting jokes about pedophilia.

#3 -- #FireGinaCarano

Fire Gina for making light of the Holocaust, but then LOLLMAO Josh Hawely is "Kid Hitler."

All I'll say on this one is that it's funny that the media that are reporting on the firing (like the Hollywood Reporter), and mentioning that Carano made some problematic tweets, don't give a screenshot of exactly what she posted that got her fired. They only describe it, deceptively.

It's like if they posted what she actually said, people would wonder what the big deal really was about it.

Agreed one hundred percent. So many of these channels are paying their rent off of outrage bait over this shit now. Disney has clearly shown they are willing to lose money and market share if it lets them piss on you. They've wrecked the IPs, they're not going to magically save them because you're pissed, so drop it and leave.

We need to get back to where people took responsibility for what happened to them. Regardless of other circumstances. And they also were quite up to counteracting any of those outside forces.

112 The success of Favreau's Mandalorian directly imperiled the position of Kathleen Kennedy. Kennedy -- whose long campaign to turn Star Wars SJW has made the franchise plummet into red ink -- is looking to take over the Mandalorian.

This is probably a behind the scenes power-play (using cancel culture / SJW culture) to undermine the Mandalorian and undercut Favreau. This is cut-throat corporate politics.

The Mandalorian's success was eye-opening to Disney, after the dismal failures of Kennnedy's Star Wars. Showing Disney that their new golden goose can be strangled in its cradle (by hordes of people cancelling Disney+) might cause them to reverse course.

Favreau should put it on the line for Carano, or else Kennedy gets a scalp and will come looking for more.

122 Look at how the cancel culture worked out for feminists. They got up on their hind legs over every little thing, and accusing all and sundry of inappropriate behavior.

Upshot: senior male executives avoid them like the plague. No mentoring, no socializing, no nothing.

Of course, the feminists then bitched about that (imagine). But you'd have to be crazy not to avoid them.

Same thing with McNeil. Avoiding "woke" (how I hate that ghetto term) students would be very high on my list if I were still in academia.

They will just keep eroding what he's doing until they ruin their one generally well-loved property in the mess that is Disney Star Wars. If Favreau really wanted to make a power play - and I suspect he doesn't, and is looking to ride the wave until he can't anymore - he could out it simply and publicly: end this now, or I walk. If he walks, the Mandalorian dies and a huge reason for Disney+ and the only hope for Disney Star Wars walks with him.

But that is a huge think to ask or expect, and it would be unreasonable to demand it. It is the only thing I can think of, though, that would give Disney execs panicked flop-sweat.

Yeah, I'd be surprised if Favreau is taking this quietly on the inside of Disney. Just because he's not writing impassioned Instagram posts doesn't mean that he's not hopping map. His baby's getting fucked with by eliminating one of the main secondary characters brought on by stuff outside the show. Filoni probably doesn't have his back, though.

ace, I was watching an old Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode on PlutoTV Saturday. And they made a joke about a line from the movie which was something like "Only the devil can break the deal you make with him." And one of the robots said "yes and his name is Bob Iger."

I thought that was kinda prescient for being from the 90s.

I've never watched the show. A few years back, I concluded that Star Wars, Star Trek, MCU, etc. were shambling zombies of the franchises I liked. So I just quit. The quality alone was reason enough to stop watching, without even getting into politics. That people were squeeing about an infant muppet did not convince me I'd made the wrong call.

--

I did not see the Rey trilogy, but that's the whole point. Disney sunk tons of money / resources into Kennedy's vision of Star Wars, and it was an abject failure. Favreau comes along, does a bit of fan service in the Mandalorian, and the dying embers of the franchise start to come back to life.

Assuming the Mouse cares about money (even if only belatedly), stopping the Mandalorian revival of the Star Wars franchise makes no sense whatsoever.

Maybe management cares more about politics than money. At that point, there is nothing to do except pop a beer while watching Disney's revenues crater.

No idea if the timing of this had anything to do with Carano decision by Disney -- however, the twitter fans certainly made it an issue:

In the past week Pedro Pascals' brother sister Lux came out as a transwoman on the cover of a fashion magazine.

"Mi hermana, mi corazón, nuestra Lux," Pascal wrote in Spanish alongside Lux's stunning magazine cover. His message translates to, "my sister, my heart, our Lux."

Lux opened up about her transition for the first time in the magazine, and shared that she started receiving hormone treatment in July. She may soon be following in her brother's famous footsteps, as she's now studying acting at Juilliard in New York City.

304 What I heard on Newmax a little while ago was that he was out on his motorcycle, met some fans, someone (can't say) produced tequila, he took a shot, roared off on his motorcycle, and that's when he got nailed. Apparently some LEO saw the drinking. Hence the low BAC.

Not a fan of Bruce either, but the truth is what it is. At least on our side.
Posted by: Bruce Springstream at February 11, 2021 12:42 PM (N/gDA)


It's not the drinking that's the problem. It's the BAC.

If the cop saw him do a shot, then pulled him over shortly thereafter, his BAC would be STUPID low, if that's all he had to drink and it hadn't even been absorbed into his system yet. Therefore, no DWI.

A key part of their toolkit is that they call those who disagree with them racists, or the more potent term of art of our moment, white supremacists. That kind of charge has a way of sticking.

The dirty secret of the Holocaust and history is that EVERYONE rabidly hated the Jews, and had for 4000 years. Hitler and the Germans just took that hatred to what they saw as a logical extreme.

Every German knew exactly what was going to happen to the Jews years before it did, and knew exactly what was happening while it was going on. In DETAIL.

There is a famous photo of a German Wehrmacht soldier shooting a woman holding a baby in the back on a windy plain in Russia in 1941. That soldier sent the photo back to his fiance with the words "Eastern Action" written on the back.

The Germans were proud of what they did to the Jews, right up to the point where they lost the war.

Posted by: Sharkman at February 11, 2021 12:58 PM (0bGEp)

400 Jews have proven good at keeping a religious/cultural identify as a small part of larger societies in a way that is unusual. Which makes them an easy target for someone trying to demonize a group.
Germany lost WWI because they made a lot of mistakes, mostly before the war itself started. Jews in Germany seem to have not been particularly different from Catholics or Protestants in their behavior in the war. But, if you control the media you can spin a narrative...

There were a number of leftwing Jews, especially socialist ones, that were advocating pacifism...but amusingly not starting WWI would in fact have been the best strategy for Germany in 1914.

That's because Jews typically formed their own tightly knit communities and usually only interacted with their neighbors out of necessity.

It also didn't help their reputation that they were most likely very successful and rich communities compared to their neighbors. That made it extremely easy to "blame" them for everyone's problems.

454 She's attractive, but not a stick-figure anorexic symbol of what passes for beauty in Hollywood these days. She's a (literal) fighter, which women say they want in a man's sport. She's started from the bottom in a new field, and made her way to the top of her new profession. She has opinions, and doesn't back down from them in the face of opposition from the status quo.

Instead, she's shunned and cast aside and unpersoned. Pathetic.

469 Goldhagen - "Hitler's Willing Executioners" - sort of started the contemporary discussion of wider German guilt and related issues. He examined the history, records, diaries/letters etc of "ordinary" Germans involved in the Holocaust, for example the members of reserve police battalions.

These units were used for much of the carnage in the early phase (invasion of Poland, early part of Barbarossa). Shooting Jews and other enemies of the state (much of the Holocaust was through shooting, not gas chambers).

These were guys in their 40s and 50s, not political and not soldiers. "Ordinary". Goldhagen looks at evidence they were quite aware of the moral horror of what was going on - at least at one point, individuals could be excused from the most vile duties, like murdering women and children. And there was much talk of the effect on morale, discipline, etc.

There's been a lot of work on the topic since.

And then they started hiring the dregs and psychopaths who enjoyed doing the jobs but weren't the kind of people you'd put in charge of anything - even mass murder.

And this "problem" plagued them throughout the war.

Sadly, I think its genetic based Darwinian Programming. Something that if we don't ACKNOWLEDGE exists, we won't be able to ever eradicate.

There are behaviors that are hard coded into our DNA (whether by God or Nature, your choice). Things like Gender differences, that transcend culture. Culture can OVER RIDE those behaviors, but can't change the base programming.

And just like a computer, if your higher level programming conflicts with base programming, the system is inefficient at best... and this, IMO, exhibits itself as unhappiness in Humans. You are conflicted, but won't be allowed to say why by the Cultural Programming.

Which is where we are at today.

I have a theory that we are (or were, anyway) genetically different from people back in the Old Country, wherever that is, because our ancestors were the risk takers. Whatever the gene is that predisposes one to take risks, we have it in a greater proportion, and the descendants of the ones who stayed behind have less of it than we do. That's why generally I'm OK with some level of immigration, because we continue to attract people who are willing to leave Bangladesh or Zimbabwe or wherever with their IT or medical or engineering smarts and come to America to make it big. Somehow in the last generation we've allowed the Communists to undermine our innate nature, but I think it will reassert itself. We may have some hard times ahead of us, but I'm optimistic that way.

587 I have a theory that we are (or were, anyway) genetically different from
people back in the Old Country, wherever that is, because our ancestors
were the risk takers.


I don't know if it's nature or nurture - but the biggest divide today is Rural vs Urban. Tell me where somebody lives - and I'll tell you all I need to know about them. Not all there is to know. Just all I need to know. I've received quite the cussing about that - don't care. It's true.

Short story long - we were the last major power to have a frontier. So we kept our balls the longest. I think it helped the Brits when they had a far flung empire, just because it gave their version of rednecks somewhere to go and profit, and encouraged more of the same. Ditto for the French.

Actually, he was acting as an agent of the ChiComs, who basically stole the carrier from him and stiffed him for the purchase price. The ChiComs built the carrier up into their first, the Liaonang Type 001.

The main prop on stage was a mechanical pyramid that was to open up like a lotus blossom and reveal the 2 main characters, man and woman lovers, as they sung their song. They would then walk down the inclined ramp to stage front, while still singing.
About a week in to the show, the pyramid didn't open up. Just sat there making R2D2 noises. Finally some smoke appeared. The duo is still inside, singing their little hearts out. Then the announcement "Ladies and gentlemen, there will be a 15 minute technical intermission"

Besides her party not being offensive at all (unless your Pro-creating mobs to assault your neighbors) the fact that they allowed Pedro Pascal to in fact do exactly what they claimed Gina did, multiple times without repercussion, should be enough for a discrimination lawsuit (she should play thier game and say that men can post such things but women can't?) it may not go to court, but Disney will probably settle, and cases of unlawful termination on other less successful series have netted actors with much smaller roles near 8 figures. So here's hoping Gina can get much more from these soon to be dying companies.

651 The sad thing about the current state of star wars, especially the fan reaction to Luke in the mandalorian, is that all Disney has to do to make a ton of money off the of franchise is essentially dangle keys in front of the audience. Which they will, forever. Sadly it seems like a winning formula.

652 626 Thanks to the legendary efficiency of the US Postal Service, in two days my package moved from Chicago, IL to ... Aurora, IL.

Posted by: Joe Mannix at February 11, 2021 01:36 PM (UZVEt)

It's always fun watching a package to the wrong direction (towards a main hub) before reaching you. I had mail delivered from on part in Cali to here in San Diego, only to find it left the state first before coming back. By the time it got here, I could have driven up, picked it up, and driven back. At least I saved on gas and time.

Bull. Shit. That implies that there are one set of rules, that will be equally enforced by a court. Honestly - and I didn't pick you out in particular, but so be it - I don't understand how people that think this way still get to function day to day without getting rolled on the street. I assume that's coming soon.

656 Are there any basketball teams in China?
Posted by: Bertram Cabot, Jr.


B-ball is supposedly big in Chi-Nah. Big enough that a Chinese pro basketball player could sorta-plausibly buy a whole former Soviet aircraft carrier from the Ukranians back in '98, in order to build it up as a casino in Macau.

Actually, he was acting as an agent of the ChiComs, who basically stole the carrier from him and stiffed him for the purchase price. The ChiComs built the carrier up into their first, the Liaonang Type 001.

The complete story is pretty wild and crazy shit.

657 "Love your enemies" doesn't mean that they stop being your enemies. It's a warning against dehumanization.
Posted by: Colorado Alex in Exile at February 11, 2021 01:35 PM (jOcSX)


C.S. Lewis wrote about this - 'Love your enemies as you love yourself.' Well, how do I love myself? It's not by saying everything I do is wonderful and I should always get my way in everything. I want what's best for myself, even if it may temporarily not seem like the greatest thing. I may even have to be chastised if I do something wrong, because if I get away with it, I'll become a worse and worse person. So if I love my neighbour the same way, it means wanting what's best for him - that could include punishment if he commits crimes, to prevent him from doing worse things and becoming more of a monster.

Indeed. In capitals around the world, whatever serious people can be found are scrambling frantically to prepare for the post-American global order. Some will play to Russia, some to China, some will play for themselves, but everyone outside of this country has got to be preparing for the contingencies. Americans are the only people who think America matters anymore.

You could borrow a copy from the library or a friend. Be sure use dvd ripping software to immediately back it up just in case you accidentally drop the original into the shredder. Watch the movie and return it to the library/friend. Once you return it, be sure to destroy your backup copy, as keeping it would be copyright infringement.

Or as suggested above, second-hand dvd stores or goodwill.

684 > Christianity's toughest dictate is love thy neighbor as yourself. Because I hate these people beyond words. I leave it up to your imagination as to how I want to love them.

Just because it's difficult doesn't mean it isn't necessary -- this will be on the test.

To the extent it can be difficult to see injustice grow and prosper, remember that, just as in Ninevah when Jonah came to them, there are still people currently trapped in darkness (and yes, I mean that to include militant leftists and SJWs) who are going to repent and be saved. We know God's patience is for them, the rest just happen to receive it briefly as a beneficial side effect. Unfortunately, alcoholism isn't the only spiritual affliction where people sometimes have to hit rock bottom before they can change.

685 People should not put the entire period of the Third Reich as the holocaust. The holocaust is the period of wholesale killings. The holocaust did not begin until the war in the East summer 1941 or perhaps the Wannsee conference January 1942. Before that there was a gradual increase in human rights abuses from the Nurnberg Laws to Kristallnacht to the concentration camps.

Even talking about the early years, cancel culture of Republicans is not comparable to anything done to the Jews because cancel culture is not government sanctioned. We just had our Reichstag Fire incident pretext.

Given what Pedro posted, and the fact he was not fired, it seems like an open and shut case that could be won.

But I bet she would have a hard time finding a lawyer to take the case because the left is making it known they will ruin any lawyer or firm which goes against them. Even Trump, with all of his resources, had trouble finding lawyers to represent him. And lawyers on the right are the NPR sort who do not have a principle to share between the lot of them.

I'd say it took more bravery to defend the frontier between France and Germany than your frontier as you were bravely fighting men with bows and arrows.
Your country is the first white country to become post-white.
Your country is the first "Western" country where explicit hatred of white people is celebrated.
I think your theory needs a little work.
And LOL at the idea that you don't hate Europeans.
I'm a European Rightist and sometimes feel sorry about what is happening to your country and have a look at your blog.Invariably there's some crass ,dishonest remark about 500m Europeans and why we have it coming! I come on this blog now to enjoy your whining as you receive a modicum of the hate you broadcast to the world. Also the idea that you defend Europe is hilarious when you consider how many poorly armed peasants have run you out of their countries.
