Hello fellow teens! This is your father, Jorban Dieterson, here to protect you from the wokeism virus, buster!! It's very cool over here. We've got Ian Miles Cheong, Baked Alaska, David Praguer and a variety of super normal gamers here to end cultural bolshev-- err, Marxism, uh, feminism. Listen, just give your Dad's credit card number to Ben Shapiro.

Do you want to live in a society where enough public pressure on your employer through social media can get you fired for essentially arbitrary reasons? Don't be distracted by the fact that this woman is conservative and follows annoying accounts. Focus on the mechanics of that happening. Now that this is normalised, anyone can be fired any time anyone kicks up a fuss about anything, even about things with which you agree.
Follow that drag queen who reads to children down at the library, and the mob hassles your employer because of it? Wouldn't it be better for all employers then to say "What our employees do or believe outside of work hours is between them and their conscience, and we have no other official opinion on it". Rather, instead, your former employer could write an obnoxious, mortifying statement about you "although freedom of expression is valued, children must be protected".

I already live in this society. Back in '02 I was fired for opposing the Iraq war. Before that people were fired for being communists. The only way to prevent this is to allow employees to sue their employers if they get fired for no good reason, and the right calls that socialism.

Ohhh, divorced dad energy. Yeah, you probably shoulda got a lawyer? IDK shrug Why are you running defence for Ian Miles Cheong, known snitcher and swatter? Are you just ignorant to the agitprop you're supporting here or playing mask-on?

Also if all you can do is alt-right trolls and anime avatars I'm gonna guess you are either a child or a bot. And that's all that's where. More really cool blogs about how the gays are the REAL criminals. It's so bad faith and pathetic it still trends here because of code incels.

Quite odd for the mob to be claiming that she's transphobic (per https://archive.is/hcodb), when one of the accounts she followed and retweeted is Blaire White, a transwoman.

This timeline stinks.
You are correct. If gay and trans people were inciting violence against checks notes rich conservative bloggers we would definitely be put in jail.
This timeline is only beginning to suck, for you.
