Gina Carano and the Rise of the Corporate Fascist Empire

My wife and I are both huge Star Wars fans, and naturally we have passed our passion for Star Wars down to our boys. So, when Disney+ announced that it was launching a new Star Wars television series titled The Mandalorian, we were excited. After all, a series about a bounty hunter that looked like Boba Fett was every Star Wars fanboy’s dream! Every Friday night my family gathered with popcorn and candy to watch the latest episode. The stories are good, the special effects are great, and the characters are well developed.

Gina Carano

One of those characters is a woman named Cara Dune, played by Gina Carano. Cara Dune is not the overly sexualized, overly confident, underdeveloped, boring character that is all too common in popular sci-fi and fantasy today. She’s a war veteran with some serious PTSD. She is beautiful, but not in the fake, Hollywood way. She feels real. She looks real. She is everything the feminists have been demanding for years from sci-fi and fantasy—a realistic, strong female character that is valued for her abilities, not her sexuality.

Cara Dune was an extremely popular character. So popular in fact, that Lucasfilm, the Disney-owned company that makes Star Wars, had plans for giving her a Disney+ spinoff show. But that was before they realized Gina Carano engaged in Wrongthink. Apparently, she made some posts on social media that the company did not like, and they fired her. The Daily Wire quotes a Lucasfilm spokesperson stating that “[Carano’s] social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable.” What in the world did Carano post that would merit not only her firing but such a venomous statement?

According to the Daily Wire, Carano posted a screenshot that stated:

“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?”

Had her post actually denigrated Jews, as Lucasfilm claimed, I would have agreed with their decision to fire Carano. But clearly the post does not denigrate Jews. To the contrary, the post correctly depicts the Nazis as bad guys and the Jews as victims to warn Americans through historical analogy not to go down the slippery road of hate.

So why mischaracterize Carano’s post? According to the Hollywood Reporter, a source at Lucasfilm has claimed that “[The executives at Lucasfilm] have been looking for a reason to fire her for two months.” Why? On the surface it appears that Carano has simply been the latest victim of America’s “cancel culture” as the “woke mob” took to Twitter with the hashtag #FireGinaCarano. But upon deeper examination it becomes clear that the woke mob did not force corporate executives to fire Carano, but rather the corporate executives are the woke mob. Or more accurately, woke executives have taken over corporate America and are turning us into a corporate fascist state. Ironically, they are doing the thing Carano warned about in the post that got her fired.

In the world of woke corporate fascism, making money has become secondary. While Goya Foods, Chick-Fil-A, and My Pillow saw their sales skyrocket when they refused to bend to the woke mob, the NFL and Target lost customers by being too woke. But instead of changing their policies, they doubled down on their wokeness.

The primary goal for woke corporations is power because power is the primary goal of all would-be tyrants. What do these corporations care if they lose a million or even a billion dollars if they can get everyone to bend to their will? Like a bully who enjoys making other kids cry “uncle,” these corporate tyrants love exerting their control over us. Americans must allow men to use the restroom with our little girls; we must stand and cheer for men who refuse to stand and cheer for our country; but most of all, we must never engage in Wrongthink!

Unfortunately, power-hungry corporate executives control many of the largest corporations on the planet. Giant corporations decide what “facts” the public is allowed to see. Giant corporations decide what is acceptable to think and what is not. Giant corporations decide who is allowed to communicate with the public. Twitter even banned the sitting President of the United States! Imagine that, a communication company censoring the President. And before you defend Twitter’s actions to suspend then-President Trump’s account, remember, Twitter has allowed the tyrannical, anti-Semitic, terror-sponsoring, war-mongering Ayatollah Ali Khamenei of Iran to remain on their platform.

The woke elites who run most of the world’s major corporations despise us. They think they are superior to us, that we are not smart enough, or cultured enough, or cosmopolitan enough to think correctly. Those of us who disagree with them must be reeducated or destroyed. They want us to not only be silenced, but to starve. They don’t want us to have jobs or friends or anything. If you dared to vote wrong, you must be reeducated until you grovel properly, or you must be shunned and starve. Because you engage in Wrongthink, you do not deserve to make a living to feed your family.

Am I being hyperbolic? People like Gina Carano are fired from their jobs for not thinking the right way. YouTube has demonetized and banned filmmakers for not thinking the right way. Facebook, Twitter, and other sites have banned users for not thinking the right way. Amazon, the world’s largest book seller, has refused to sell books that don’t present the proper position. Apple and Google have refused to allow the social media platforms Gab and Parler to be on their phones, and Amazon stopped hosting Parler’s website, because those platforms do not force their users to conform to Righthink. Meanwhile, various media personalities are calling for the blacklisting of former Trump administration officials, and the reeducation of Trump supporters. (read more)
