PEDRO FUCKING COMPARED IMMIGRANT CHILDREN IN CAGES TO JEWISH CHILDREN KILLED DURING THE HOLOCAUST! Where’s the fucking double standard?! His post was so insensitive and extremely antisemetic.

I don’t agree in general with what Pedro Pascal said (to be fair, I hadn’t heard about this before). At the same time I think these two situations are completely different. Context matters. I don’t like Shoah comparisons, not of any kind, but -- comparing atrocities with each other is bad, but comparing atrocities with being a fucking republican? No. 

Again, I don’t think any atrocities should be compared with each other, and should be allowed to stand on their own, but the comparison of a systematic genocide to being conservative(isn’t she also transphobic wtf???) is disturbing and revolting.

When I see Shoah comparisons to the Uyghur genocide, to the American “detainment” camps where they hold children for months without soap, beds and other basic human needs, or when the Shoah is compared to the situation in Yemen, I get insanely frustrated -- because this insanely disrespectful. Because it disrespects both situations. The Shoah is not a measuring system for atrocities, and other situations of murder and detainment should not just be boiled down to “a {BLANK} H*locaust”, and should be treated with the weight and respect they deserves.

But the message in these comparisons is still very clear: What is happening here is wrong, and must be stopped.

Now lets compare that with what Gina Carano said which was basically: How is being ostracized, beaten, forced out of your gome and murdered for being Jewish (great of her to ignore the Roma people) any different from being hated for your political views?

...

I’m sorry to I need to fucking explain why that is absolutely fucked up? Why this is so abhorrent? She is comparing genocide to not being able to say slurs anymore boohoo I’m not allowed to be bigoted on the internet without being called out :(((

So no. I don’t see a double standard.
