EVERYTHING is getting called cancel culture. I already agreed some situations are dissatisfying. The ones that are bothering you? I already spoke about those...but Now I'm explaining the other points that are important...uh...we capitalist....and you're free to have actions and beliefs but you can't force someone to keep employing you if you have them. I'm not saying it's good we don't have guaranteed work or income. I'm pointing out that if we don't have guaranteed income like UBI that's the issue and forcing someone to employ someone even if it might affect the business...that's just not capitalist, afaict
Look, I talked about civil rights and protected classes, so lets use that as an example. Race is a protected class. You cannot be fired for being black, asian, white etc. That cannot be the reason you are fired. But, a black or asian or white person can be fired for being a bad employee, for treating customers badly, for showing up late, for stealing from the company, etc. What they DO matters. So, what if we consider adding political ideology to the protected classes? They can still be fired for being an ass. If they're a loudmouth who shouts their views at the customers they can be fired for that. If they start passing out political pamphlets they can be fired for that, just like someone who goes around proselytizing on company time can be fired even though religion is a protected class. We have civil rights laws in place already and they don't mean that a person can never be fired.
