      "capitalism is bad, so it's bad when corporations fire fascists" is not a smart take.

      How about capitalism is bad, so it's bad to lobby/empower corporations to fire people for offenses that were previously not fireable? Especially if that impulse to call the manager substitutes for a policy agenda that would better address root causes in the area of offense.

      We live in an at-will employment economy, there's no such thing as "offenses that were not previously fireable"

      There may be some truth there strictly legally, but I mean in the sense of contemporary cancel cultures. The threhold and stakes for causing offense have changed, and those offended now increasingly respond by involving (and empowering) employers.

      This is exactly what people were saying about "lawyer brain" Outside of an actual courtroom, the idea of "precedent" and "case law" is mostly bullshit Trying to label everything as a "trend" or a "slippery slope" or a "culture" is concern trolling

      It has ALWAYS been the case that most employers can fire most employees for any fucking reason, or no reason It has always been ESPECIALLY the case that famous people have "morals clauses" in their contracts saying they can be fired for making their employer "look bad"

      There has been no time in all of history where this was not true and it's impossible to imagine this not being true, barring some actual draconian law against firing people for "moral" reasons that would probably keep companies from ever hiring them in the first place

      It wasn't that long ago that it was routine to see actors get dropped from TV shows for cursing in public, or being accused of cheating on their partners, or just "coming off as an arrogant jerk" in one too many interviews It's how the business works

      None of this is actually empowering bosses to do anything they didn't already have the power to do, and that they didn't already constantly do If the needle moves towards firing people for coming off as racist because racism is now unpopular, that's 100% a positive shift

      Is this not literally an attempt to empower bosses to do something they didn't already have the power to do (in the name of anti-racism)?pic.twitter.com/9m8NqaoQbA

      No, it isn't You've bizarrely misinterpreted a discussion of "What is a good reason to fire people" as a discussion of "Should bosses have the POWER to fire people" That power is and always has been near-absolute

          And even more weirdly, mistaken a case of a system that is usually unjust for once responding to public pressure towards justice, for an instance of new injustice.
