Why are so many people ok with a world where you have no say in what your employer does, and they can do whatever they want to suit their bottom line?

Though I wonder how much of this is actually corpophilia and how much is people hiding behind it because they don’t want to say “I’m glad these people I disagree with got fired”.

Here are some threads to show what I’m talking about:

r/technology

r/conservative (though this one feels like cheating)

r/news

r/bayarea

r/google

hacker news

washington post comments

etc…

    I hope to God you wouldn’t be gleeful at me getting fired

    I wouldn’t be “gleeful”, but I can definitely see why the company was within their rights to fire you.

    This is like those nutbags who shut down a highway to protest the environment or something, then accuse the police of being un-environmental when they’re invariably arrested.

      Shutting down the highway when the planet is literally burning up seems like a very obvious sign of outrage and great restraint as to not get violent despite that outrage, dont you think?

      Arresting protestors during a largely ignored crisis which they protest seems kind of inhumane, no?
