Companies already fire people for ideological differences. Brendan Eich is the obvious example. The reason you don't get "purges" (ie, mass firings) is because people know just how likely they are. You shut your mouth during the "diversity" struggle sessions and similar rubbish. You keep your campaign contributions to 200 dollars or less. You sure as hell don't associate political speech to your PID. You are mindful of cross pollination between databases.

This is how we live now.




This is true, and it breaks my heart. I have so much love for this country and those in it. The fact the certain people’s views are being censored with the full power of the state + private companies is just sad.
