It's the age of auto-censure. Now everybody should go around the office, the school and life wearing nice people masks, avoiding to express anything that's near controversial.
The punishment? Public embarrassment and shaming, in the present or the possible future for things said in the past.
Who are the winners? Workplace owners. They are tired of dealing with HR issues and project instabilities for the gossip and drama derived from a controversial opinion or act.
Of course, there are serious incidents (like physical violence or other) but now the level was brought so low that simply saying a bad word can give you a life sentence.
Unfortunately, there is no room for radical thinkers.
