I’m extremely leftist - have organized for unions for 5 years. I didn’t see what he said that needed denouncement from the boss or something. Maybe a better phrased “thank you for your point of view” than “thank you” if you really wanna be political.

Like I don’t agree with him. And I do see how a funny names list is a form of “violence” in a way. I also think Singer is a tad misleading.

But he’s just like, wrong. You can have a discussion or a disagreement on this topic. The way this has all been escalated and framed as “you’re not taking a stand against white supremacy” makes my head spin.

Again, I’m a staunch leftist. I agree with a lot of the arguments made, but the way they are being made and the expectations on the employer are very confusing to me.

A lot of comments have said childish and I agree. Everyone looks like a horribly communicative child in this story, and it’s really uncomfortable to watch.

I in no way see how his comments were “very questionable”. I disagree with them? But I just like think they’re wrong.

“Very questionable” is going off on a tangent about (((globalists))) and a worldwide conspiracy network. This is a very uncomfortable shift of the Overton window for me.
