It's really odd how you NEVER find a whole lot of offence in being called a Nazi 
And yet actual decent people the whole world over would be sick at the thought of being compared to one.
Interesting, that...

Ha, hey T - It's actually laughable, innit? I kept hearing Bill Murray's line from GhostBusters, "cats and dogs living together..."
The less I post here the more ridiculous the "conversations" here seem. Funny and sad.

It's because you've invalidated the entire meaning of the word and insulted the legacy of Jews who died in WWII, the survivors, and the families that lost their own.
I told you years ago that you and Marcos were doing that, and to this day you've never stopped.
What? Do you think that you can just win every argument by calling somebody you don't agree with a Nazi? Sorry Princess, life doesn't work that way. We just laugh at you now when you use the word.
You're a fucking joke, and your opinion holds no currency.

Yup. I agree. It is sad how gross you people are.
Gina should get her job back.

I stand with Gina

Until it’s not. Earlier this week, actress Gina Carano lost her job playing Cara Dune on The Mandalorian. The former MMA fighter had been facing criticism for months for her anti-science views on mask-wearing, mocking transgender-sensitive pronouns, and tweets about voter fraud . Then, on Wednesday, after she shared an Instagram story that suggested having differing political views was akin to being Jewish during the Holocaust, the hashtag #FireGinaCarano began to trend on Twitter. That night, Lucasfilm issued the following statement: “Gina Carano is not currently employed by Lucasfilm and there are no plans for her to be in the future. Nevertheless, her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable.”
She did absolutely nothing wrong. Daring to not bend the knee to the Twittratti mob and the woke jokes who demand you obey their commands. Screw that, screw all who are on board with that garbage.

Carano’s comments are harmful for a lot of reasons, but they seem to carry an additional weight for fans. Cara Dune was a hero, someone who fought for people, a tough, competent female hero in a genre often dominated by men. Fans looked up to Cara, and by extension Carano, but the actor’s comments on social media left one of those things harder to do. “The pain was felt acutely by those who admired her character the most,” Anthony Breznican wrote for Vanity Fair, “including some who cosplayed as Cara Dune and hoped the spirit of the hero matched the feelings of the person performing her.” Others, meanwhile, backed Carano’s statements and started a competing hashtag, #CancelDisneyPlus, as this week’s news began to spread.
Gina correctly states that others are lying about her to keep themselves from being cancelled for her telling the truth.
And she's spot on.
