1) Buzzfeed doesn't have to approve of a boss firing someone for them to have the power to do it, and for this to be incredibly common For most of history it's been taboo to fire an employee for not sleeping with you; in the 70s it was made explicitly illegal; still very common

This discourse pisses me off so much because getting fired because people don't like you is a universal, constant, inescapable feature of having a job of any kind under capitalism But NOW it's suddenly a PROBLEM because it's "woke"

Replying to @arthur_affect @nberlat
Were anti-racists in the 60s (MLK, SNCC, BPP) engaging corporations similar to today's blue wave 'anti-racists'? When MLK turned to economics and liberal racism, should he instead have asked how employment contract language could be a post-Jim-Crow weapon?

mlk literally wrote a famous letter about mainstream white america hemming and hawing about how black activists were pushing for too much progress too quickly

And I think now he'd write a letter against liberals fooling themselves into thinking they're helping black people or fighting racism simply by voting for Democrats and cheering on cancellations.

It's not an assumption, it's an inference
