Meet the Double Standard in Cancel Culture
Gina Carano has been fired by Disney from its Mandalorian show, part of Lucasfilm.
Carano starred as Cara Dune in a supporting role, but used a comparison between conservatives in America and the Holocaust.
Carano was the subject of much criticism recently when, in a now-deleted Instagram post, she compared being a modern-day Republican to being Jewish during the Holocaust.
Now, follow along with me here. Carano was fired for her now deleted Instagram post. Meanwhile, the star of the show, Pedro Pascal, tweeted this:
(Hat tip to Dan Andros)
Pascal kept his job. He also compared Trump supporters to Nazis.
Gina Carano is fired. He keeps his job. Yes, there is a double standard and if you point it out, the left accuses you of whataboutism or supporting your own version of cancel culture.
Those of you in the media should note these double standards will further radicalize people on the right.
If it weren't for double standards, the Left would have no standards at all.
Back about 20 years ago, Americans were told (mostly by the left) that any criticism of Islam due to 9/11 would "radicalize" young American Muslims and make it easier for ISIS to recruit "home grown" terrorists. That actually made sense...if you feel that you are hated, through no fault of your own, for your religion, your race, your ethnicity, whatever...by the majority of your countrymen, then people telling you that you've been treated unjustly and promising you that "they" don't feel that way about you, are people you're going to be more likely to listen to, to want to associate with.
For the last twelve years, at least, American Christians, particularly white males, have been hit with a barrage of hate from the left. They've been called every vile name in the book, accused of crimes they've never even thought of, many of which happened prior to the birth of their grandparents, blamed for all the ills of the world since the beginning of time.
Their achievements have been discounted as "you didn't build that" and "white privilege", black Conservatives have been called "Uncle Toms", they've been dismissed as bigots believing in sky fairies, racists, "bitter clingers", "deplorables", and told non-stop that they have no place in the future of the country unless they "conform" and "apologize"...and even that is often not enough to placate the leftist mobs.
So...is it any wonder that some of them have become radicalized? I'm not in the least excusing what happened at the Capitol, but whether you believe Donald Trump incited them or not, he isn't responsible for their radicalization, the left is.
