They cause massive damage to other people's lives over what's essentially wrongthink.

Organized internet mobs, often from Twitter. Look up Sleeping Giants for an example.

> Is it just fear of losing your job

"Just" losing your job? That's a major life-changing punishment by itself. They can ruin your reputation and essentially blacklist you.

These people essentially run a denial of service on your life and that of your family by denying you income for the crime of offending them with your thoughts. In a way, they're a self-righteous Kiwi Farms.

> who makes that call? HR? Executives?

Whoever's in charge. They will be intimidated into firing you for your offensive conduct or suffer the same consequences for supporting and aligning themselves with such an abominable wrongthinker.
