And I am sure some people in Nazi Germany the morning after Kristallnacht said “hey, it’s just some broken Windows, we aren’t talking genocide or anything. Every atrocity starts with a wink and a nod to “well at least we didn’t....” I read Ms Carano’s message as “hey, this is getting out of hand. Do you think we should maybe stop BEFORE it becomes 1930s Germany?” I study history as my main hobby. I have seen where this CAN lead. Not saying it unavoidably will lead there but we are on a dangerous road. And both sides are guilty. Time out folks
But how many times have cultural/political changes not resulted in genocide? Probably far more often than the opposite.
The reason she was fired is because it's insensitive to compare where the latest political movement could possibly lead with what actually happened to Jews in the Holocaust, based only on loose connections between the two. Her political views were known prior to her latest comments so it's not even like Disney is seeking out conservatives in their ranks and firing them. I'm absolutely not for firing people for saying things like this but Disney is undoubtedly worried about the woke backlash impacting their bottom line.
