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.
If a bigot loses a job, justice (ie lives of poor/marginalized) is unaffected. If public pressure promotes such actions, justice remains unaffected Given history & nature of US sys racism, if racial justice is seen as partisan, Dem > Rep, social justice is affected, negatively.
Lmao and there it is The reason cancelation is bad is it makes Republicans sad, and making Republicans sad crushes your hopes of a "bipartisan" populist movement
Sorry that ship sailed a long time ago At the very latest, it sailed when LBJ signed the Civil Rights Act
I don't understand the argument that the best way to fight bigotry is to work with the bigots for "bipartisanism's sake". It's very obviously and transparently a self-defeating motive because a bigot isn't going to work against themselves, they'll just work to sabotage you.
A lot of people are really fixated on this narrative that the Democrats have lost the "white working class" by talking too much about racism and that no true leftist movement can prosper unless they get those imaginary blue-collar Archie Bunkers back in the coalition
Archie Bunker was absolutely a fuckin' Republican voter and the Democrats need to get unions back as their point of political contact
The second episode of All In the Family had Archie writing writing a letter of praise to Nixon. Another episode establishes that Archie thinks FDR ruined the country.
There was a joke in one episode where Meathead flips out because Archie trolls him saying he voted for Nixon a third time in 1976 After Meathead storms out he quietly tells his wife he actually voted for Reagan
(At the time, this was understood to be a perfect punchline because Reagan was the Republican fringe candidate even more offensive to liberals than Nixon The show ended in 1979 and none of its writers anticipated 1980)
