There are limits to that kind of tolerance, though. You shouldn't care what politicians your coworker likes. You shouldn't care what religion your coworker follows.
You should care if your coworker is neo-nazi or if he is supporting Islamic State or Westboro Baptist Church.
The only diagreement is whether Eich was closer to the former or the latter. I can perfectly imagine people whose rights he wanted to take away to think he's the latter.
- gnarbarian 10y agoIf you can't draw an objective and distinct line in plain English between where it is acceptable to discriminate and where it is not you shouldn't draw one at all.
- ZoF 10y agoYou have no evidence he is closer to the former and all this is is justification for cultural Marxism. The only thing that an individual should be judged on at work is actions/comments/etc. made at work. If you'd like to argue otherwise I'd hope you at least have something more formally define-able than 'he was trending towards being a neo-nazi'. I'd also expect you to be able to point to an authority for defining these ideological limits other than the currently loosely defined group-think. Please answer these few scenarios: -Should someone believing and actively promoting pro-life stances(outside of work) be fired? -Should a casual narcotics user on weekends be fired once it's found out he/she uses? -Should someone be fired for having a confederate flag hanging in their living room? What if they're black?
- orf 10y agoNobody black would hang a confederate flag in their living room.
- ZoF 10y agoIronically I asked that the because the black people living in the apartment next to me do have a confederate flag in their living room(among _many_ others). They also scream white power around the campfire when drunk though so perhaps not typical.
- mzw_mzw 10y ago> I can perfectly imagine people whose rights he wanted to take away to think he's the latter. I can perfectly imagine any number of anti-democratic, politically obsessive people who would think that way, yes. They are certainly welcome to hold that view, but if the rest of us want to maintain a cordial and pluralistic society instead of one of constant political warfare and discrimination, we need to oppose those people at every turn.
