- rendall 4y agoDo you want to live in a society where enough public pressure on your employer through social media can get you fired for essentially arbitrary reasons? Don't be distracted by the fact that this woman is conservative and follows annoying accounts. Focus on the mechanics of that happening. Now that this is normalised, anyone can be fired any time anyone kicks up a fuss about anything, even about things with which you agree. Follow that drag queen who reads to children down at the library, and the mob hassles your employer because of it? Wouldn't it be better for all employers then to say "What our employees do or believe outside of work hours is between them and their conscience, and we have no other official opinion on it". Rather, instead, your former employer could write an obnoxious, mortifying statement about you "although freedom of expression is valued, children must be protected". This timeline stinks.

- Dudelander 4y agoI already live in this society. Back in '02 I was fired for opposing the Iraq war. Before that people were fired for being communists. The only way to prevent this is to allow employees to sue their employers if they get fired for no good reason, and the right calls that socialism.

- figleop 4y agoQuite odd for the mob to be claiming that she's transphobic (per https://archive.is/hcodb https://archive.is/hcodb), when one of the accounts she followed and retweeted is Blaire White, a transwoman.
- Dudelander 4y agoThe Blaire White tweet she retweeted was pretty transphobic.
- figleop 4y agoNot really though, just heterodox by trans activist standards.
- a_shovel 4y agoAre you unironically doing the "I'm not racist, I have a black friend" bit on her behalf?
- figleop 4y agoThat, and the fact that she didn't say anything transphobic anyway. This 'Purple Tinker' guy was just shit-stirring.
