Star Wars Hypocrisy

Kaepernick used his job as a stage for his political views.
If she expressed her political views during a live performance, you might have a point. There’s a big difference.

This is a good point. Well done.

Not really because no one would be looking at her social media if she wasn't on the Mandalorian right now. At least, as many people. Cucks maybe, but not Mando fans. Roseanne got booted off her own show for tweeting crazy ish whilst on insomnia meds. People every day in every walk of life are getting fired for what they're putting on their social media. It's a well known fact of life right now. If she's that out of touch with her superiors or just doesn't care, it's on her. TBH though, I doubt anyone will really miss her.

Yup, people are getting fired for exercising their right of freedom of speech. But that has nothing to do with using your employer to express your controversial political views.
Kaepernick dressed in an NFL uniform, during live TV broadcasts, in front of thousands of fans who cam to watch a football game. He didn’t simply express his views on social media on his free time, dressed in street clothes. He used the NFL as a propaganda outlet.

Did Gina Carano express her views while dressed as Cara Dunes on a Lucasfilm sound stage? No, she didn’t. So, compared to what Kaepernick did, she isn’t even close.

Well said.

"B-B-But I've been her biggestest fan ever in the world since birth"

Kaepernick ruined entertainment by essentially complaining about the country. She made a point on social media, not on Star Wars, so you have to go out of your way to see what she said. If you don’t want to see it, you don’t have to, whereas Kaepernick was unavoidable if you watch football.
Plus, this ignores the hypocrisy mentioned in this meme.

Blackballed. lol no one wants a talentless QB who won ONE game in a season that's absolute cancer in the locker-room.

You are the type of person Gina was calling out. The Nazis didn’t throw Jews into camps overnight, they built up the hatred against them until the public hated them so much, the Nazis were able to throw them into camps. We are already seeing this again with your side calling Trump supporters cultists who need to be deprogrammed. There’s already discussion of “Truth and Reconciliation” commissions. Gina was calling it out so we can remember to look back on history and turn away from going down that path. And no, she hasn’t publicly supported Trump, so no, she’s not some “evil Trumpie cultist”.

Not so fast. This is exactly like racism in the 70's. Segregation because of color. In this case, carrier destruction because of viewpoint.

50s and 60s actually

Well, all three, I guess. But the 70's were the middle ground.

True

:)

The 1970s? How young are you, kid?

I'm young, but I still know my history

No, you do not.

Let’s start at the beginning of human history, shall we? Before civilizations started, most people lived as nomads, wandering from place to place.This was common for a long time, and it was only until later, when people learned to raise grains, that they could settle down in bigger groups. Civilizations were born. The oldest civilizations were the Egyptian and Sumerian civilizations. Fast forward to Hammurabi, king of Babylon, which, in Hammurabi’s day, was small. Hammurabi created the most complete set of ancient laws that historians know of, the Code of Hammurabi. His picture is actually displayed in the U.S. Capitol, along with the likes of Moses and other lawgivers. Let’s go to Assyria, on of the cruelest empires of all time. Tiglath-Pileser I was a king of Assyria and a lawgiver. His laws were very cruel. For example, the punishment for kissing another man’s wife was having his lower lip hacked off. Laws for women were also cruel. If a man owed money, his wife had to pay, even if she wasn’t with him anymore. Now fast forward to 4 B.C. The birth of a religion and most arguably the most influential person in all of human history, Jesus Christ. This religious figure has shaped human history ever since his birth. Thousands of years, influenced by him. The world would be a much different place today had it not been for him. Believe in him or not, he was influential. His teachings were simple, doable, and weren’t harsh like Tiglath-Pileser’s or any other ancient lawgiver for that matter. Love your enemy as you love your neighbor, forgive others who have wronged you, don’t be hypocritical, don’t judge others. Today there are 2.4B Christians in the world, and by 2060, the number of Christians will reach 3.05B. Now, let’s talk about the Roman Empire. The Roman Empire started back in 753 B.C. Legend has it twins, Romulus and Remus, had a competition to rule Rome. They fought it out, and Romulus won. Rome had just gotten started when it ran into its first problem, no women. Rome would fall if there were no women to have children. So when Rome asked The Sabines for women, they said no. Rome didn’t take no for an answer, and instead kidnapped women. I’m getting tired of typing all this, so I’ll skip to the 20th Century. WWI started with the assassination of Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophie. It ended with the Treaty Of Versailles which left Germany in loads of debt and which partly triggered WWII. Don’t ever underestimate a kid... ;)

tl;dr

1970s were decades ago, not millenia.
To most Americans, it's not so much history as it was part of their lives. You know, that they actually LIVED through.
Segregation? Typified the 70s?

Ok, it's 2021, so wrong decade, wrong century, wrong, millenia. So I reckon we are talking millenia after all. There ya go, kid, you earned your precious gold star.

You said I don’t know my history in general, so i proved you wrong

What the heck are you babbling about? Segregation was a 1970s thing?

No, it was from 1865-1969

The '70s were a pivotal moment in our nation's history for black people.

Moment?

Shaft.

You see this cat Shaft, he's a bad mother. He's a complicated man who no one understand but his woman

That is amazing

:l

No, this is nothing like racism in the 70s or segregation. Political persecution would fall closer to the comparison of McCarthyism. Which would be a fair comparison if Socialism and Communism wasn’t still such a dirty word among those on the right.

Which which? Really, it makes no difference. Communism is ridden with racism and the opposite.

Not really.

Communism and socialism are simply political beliefs. Are they dangerous? Perhaps. But not as dangerous as say fascism or racial supremacy. You can talk a person out of political ideologies. You can’t change the mind of someone who thinks you’re inferior.

Try it some time.

The Chinese under Mao killed 40 million and keepinb North Korea alive

Soviets imprisoned there own troops and killed them after WW2 and starved their people

Vietnam, Butcher of Budapest, Cuba, Commertain, the Cold War, A NUCLEAR WAR ALMOST STARTED A FEW TIMES

The Axis killed roughly 40 million people in aboout 6 years. Mao did that faster for one man

Fascim and Communism are both bad, but Communism is much worst

There's kinda a slight difference a lot between famine and waging war on vast sectors of the planet and direct extermination of people in concentration camps. Timespans too, as years vs decades is a thing because math.

The Chinese with their Muslim Population

Soviets with their political enemys

With their wha? There ain't that many Uighurs in the World.

And Soviet China was but a blink.

China is still a thing ;-;

“China is still a thing ;-;“

Yeah, we shouldn’t be trying to exterminate them either.

Surely they can be thwarted in their world domination without us resorting to that.

How then

Also Trump has been acquainted :)

By actually producing instead of just being a nations of consumers.

I figured he would.

Yep

Have you been in a History class in a decade? Are you joking? Have you studied Hitler's ideology?

Are you saying fascism isn’t more dangerous than socialism?

Answer the question before you ask one.

No, No, I'm eager to hear your opinion of it.

Okay, your turn.

:l

Don't do that. Don't have me make an argument when you just made one, because now...I don't remember what I was talking about.

Nice misrepresentation.

So you support censoring people who have different views to you?

And that’s the reason leftists don’t care. They hate her for supporting Trump.
