Isn't this what we've heard called "consequence culture" for the past decade or so when people violated taboos erected by the left :lol: ? I largely agree with Yascha Mounk that unless there's some sort of law passed to protect people from being punished by their employers for speech uttered outside of the workplace, this will continually be a problem.

A new wave of karens have gone into overdrive to protect the memory of their free speech champion and civil rights leader (who was against the civil rights act?) charlie kirk... by trying to ruin the livlihood of anyone that talks about who he was.

What kind of losers dedicate their lives to ruining the lives of others over the things they say on the internet?

Keyboard warriors have reacted to this week’s assassination of self-anointed champion of “free speech” Charlie Kirk by launching an online campaign to get anyone who criticizes him fired from their jobs.

A website established three days ago under the somewhat overstated banner of “Expose Charlie’s Murderers” claims to have already collected over 30,000 social media profiles. The team behind the site now promises to create “a searchable database… filterable by general location and job industry.”

“This is a permanent and continuously-updating archive of Radical activists calling for violence,” the site adds. “This is the largest firing operation in history.”

The online effort kicked off after Kirk’s fellow far-right activist Laura Loomer announced on X that in response to his killing at a Turning Point USA event in Utah Wednesday, she would “make everyone I find online who celebrates his death famous.”

Other contributors to the campaign have been posting their efforts directly to X, along with commentary on the emotional toll of their online labors, earning themselves the moniker “Nazi Karens.”

Some people are insane and anyone with even two braincells knows if things were flopped the other direction those some people calling for firings would also be the same saying their free speech is being taken away.

There's always going to be these people.

every company that I've worked for has made me sign a contract.

In that contract it outlines that I won't do or say anything to misrepresent the company, and other legalese language.
This includes on the job, in public and in private.

If any of you actually read your employment contract you'd know this is true...
Or you're a jobless welfare bum who's never had to sign a contract for employment.

Do we want corporations dictating what you're allowed to say outside of the workplace though?
