It takes a lot of courage to speak out against fascists in power. Not enough Germans did it and look what happened.

If you're a good person, you probably don't want to work for a corporation that enables fascists. Hope this person finds a better employer.

Dear News Media. Your job is speaking truth to power, which means you're going to make a lot of enemies. So unlike other big companies, the point of your legal department is to get you OUT of trouble, not to keep you from ever getting into it. Having principles in the business world isn't cheap or easy. Nothing worthwhile ever is.

Your news media is just a propaganda organisation owned by the ruling class

They are less tolerant of their employee cursing than a billionaire spreading nazi salutes.

So why is CBS affiliate WDJT-TV in Milwaukee Wisconsin defending the speech of an apartheid-loving fascist who did a full-on nazi salute on national TV? And if that's not what they're doing, then why did they fire that reporter?

That's the question that every real news outlet should be asking.

This is honestly really scary. Why should someone's livelihood be ruined for calling something what it is?

Fascism.

He's also on a list for when their squads start knocking down doors and murdering their enemies, I guarantee it.

He's probably got at least another year before that frog is boiled enough though. Hope he enjoys it.

Where are all the far right freezy peachers to protest this firing? Did they suddenly turn woke?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

They're too busy arguing that Elon didn't actually perform either Nazi salute he very clearly performed on video.

And I'm not joking.

Boy it's great we don't have a social credit system like they do in communist China!
