Teachers, firefighters and military personnel among those who lost jobs after posting their opinion on social media
Reactions on social media to the murder of far-right activist Charlie Kirk have cost multiple people their jobs as authorities in numerous states clamp down on critical commentary.
Among those to have been fired, suspended or censured in recent days for their opinions include teachers, firefighters, journalists, politicians, a secret service employee and a worker for a prominent NFL team.
The dismissals come as the administration of Donald Trump promises to take action against foreign nationals it deems to be “praising, rationalizing or making light of” Kirk’s killing, himself a fervent free speech advocate.
Maybe I just don’t pay enough attention to right wing online culture (it’s too exhausting) but why are they acting like this guy was the second coming of Saint Ronald Reagan? Like was he that important to them? Would they have the same reaction if it was Shapiro or Crowder? Are they just outraged that one of their own caught a bullet?
Because his death gives them an excuse to promote more fascism. That’s it, that’s the whole thing.
Yeah, that’s what pisses me off so much. I get that the Nazis are butthurt that people are mocking this, but how is it that people are not being fired for publicly praising a fucking Nazi?
Instead, orgs and corps are firing those making fun of the dead Nazi?
What. The. Actual. Fuck.
I never even knew this loser existed till he died lol
