For the past 36 hours I've had putative leftists arguing to me about how employers ought to have total dominion over employees' speech.
yeah I saw your tweet & generally agree with underlying point, but key argument needs to be FOR worker protections not AGAINST firing Nazis
Agree. However, insisting that even the most vile workers are due protections strengthens and universalizes the underlying principle.
yes, just saying you invited unnecessary backlash because you allowed your point to be pigeonholed as pro-Nazi
Cynical/opportunistic people are going to respond in bad faith no matter what. It's the nature of Twitter.
Idk man. I did college debate for 5 years & was in involved in HS debate for 10. Framing matters. Even sympathetic people can get turned off
If people want to claim that explicitly declaring non-sympathy with Nazis and calling them repugnant is "pro-Nazi," they're being dishonest
your lede was that firing Nazis is unnerving. It reads as doublespeak
Yeah, unnerving for the reasons I outlined, not unnerving due to "sympathy" for Nazis. Again, if people want to willfully misread, so be it.
you have a thread of sympathetic folks telling you that word choice matters for the marginal reader (ie not just ppl who already hate you)
