What she posted is historically accurate. The Nazis (and many many other totalitarian regimes) encourage neighbors to snitch on each other. For children to snitch on parents.

Because they have to divide people, and they use useful idiots to achieve these goals.

So the left cannot tolerate wrongthink because it points out exactly what they are. They project so much totalitarian shite on the other side because deep down that’s what they are.

They can’t wait to open up camps, to take away your children and liquidate you. Some of them are open about it now.

Shouldn’t the correct OT response be “Shut up and act”? Or is that only the response when it’s someone famous espousing liberal views?

"Shut up and dribble" is a response to another person's opinion. It isn't cancelling them or firing them. But you knew that.

Honestly don't give a shite about the OP's topic, but the far-right has been preaching the "if you don't like it, go somewhere else" in favor of the free market for decades.

But now that the shoe is on the other foot, people are commies and Nazis?

Lol.

And if you point out their hypocrisy, they call it “whataboutism” which is supposed to stop any further discussion about said hypocrisy.

Disney finally wrote a good strong female character, only to fire the actress playing her for actually being one in real life

No, the correct OT response is to point out the blatant hypocrisy of Carano getting fired for something she says, yet other Disney actors not having any negative repercussions for what they say. Because they say the Correct. Things.

The fact you can't see this hypocrisy is rather telling.

Yup, because "shut up and dribble" is the equivalent to someone getting fired, when both expressed their opinions in the same manner on a similar platform.

Were they blackballed by the industry or their fans?

Her co-star posted something very similar on his Instagram page a few years ago:



But he thinks the "correct" way according to Disney so he gets to remain employed at the company. I am no attorney, but I believe Gina Carano might have a wrongful termination lawsuit on her hands because of how differently Pascal was treated by Disney for his Nazi comments/comparisons.

You're right, but Disney is blatantly biased firing her and not firing other employees who express liberal views. Pretending you don't see a problem when there is one is what Neville Chamberlin did with the Nazis.

I don’t see them being in a position to complain these days if we’re being honest.

How exactly did she do that? These people are sick.
