Freedom of speech =/= freedom from consequences. In your opinion, what then would be a sufficient punishment for such an idiotic statement? A quick google search shows me that even after being fired, she continued to find work with conservative media outlets as a developer/producer. Then she was a guest on Running Wild with Bear Grylls and then was an actor on a Hunter Biden biopic. You're telling me that you're more afraid of a they/them blue haired barista who makes minimum wage who thinks its okay to "cancel" republicans who continue to find work in conservative media outlets even after being "canceled" than a AK47 carrying white supremacist who lives in a sundown town? The point is she's not allowed to be and express herself in certain enviroments. That's no different than non gender conforming teacher being fired from a more conservative school. My point is both are bad. 1

I'm sorry but she was… and her employer took notice and took action.
dumbsparce Posted October 5 Posted October 5 It is generally agreed upon what the far right looks like since it's one and the same in all corners of the world. The far left is a little more diverse depending on the region and the local political landscape. That alone should tell you which side is worse.

Okay? and Im not allowed to be a popper sniffing communist who thinks black people should get reparations and that straight people are boring AF in the corporate workplace. Its called etiquette, its called decorum, its called let's not get our asses in trouble with HR. Like I would ALSO be fired if I expressed those views at work and rightfully so. Dafuq? The difference between me and that lady you posted is that I don't think women who are raped should be forced to carry their rapist's child. The difference between me and that woman is that I don't think civilians don't need and should not assault weapons and literally weapons of war. The difference between me and that woman is that I think gender affirming medical care should be between an individual and their doctor and between and individual and the government. Like, if the only thing you can use to argue that "both sides are bad" is some dumbass got fired for something stupid in the workplace, get a effing grip. 1
St. Charles Posted October 5 Posted October 5 Sure, but I think the right is undoubtedly worse. Both in ideology and in practice. 1

VelvetCrush Posted October 9 Posted October 9 Yeah but in my country right wingers label anything center-a-lil-towards-left far left
If U Seek Amy Posted October 9 Posted October 9 At face value they seem similar but are not. Right wing extremism is about a self-serving goal of how they want the world to be. Left wing extremism is about a goal they truly believe is beneficial to humanity and the ends justify the means. The intent is important even if the belief of the extremist may or may not be true
