Academic freedom? Freedom of speech? In the current atmosphere, these have become dangerous. This is evil, by American values.

Government still can't censor people but your employer can censor you, or worse. It is a climate of fear, as if we lived in some foreign country. "Shut up or we will destroy you" is not an argument.

At Quillette, The Threat to Academic Freedom: From Anecdotes to Data

I have had a number of contentious discussions on Instagram with supporters of the Black Lives Matter movement. Several of them tried to use the information on my profile to find out where I worked, so that they could get me fired. And they weren't ashamed to say it, either. Discussion with blacks is impossible because they always try to do something underhanded. Either they accuse you of a hundred crimes, or they try to destroy your life. Or both. Blacks are completely hopeless. And the funny thing is that they don't want to discuss the truth. They only want to talk about their "feelings". The truth is that blacks in America have been middle-class for over fifty years. The whole story about "exclusion" is a lie. American blacks have historically been as rich as British white people!

I was fired. Antifa/BLM don’t play around. White traditional men are 3rd class citizens

I was also 'fired' (laid off), back in 2000 - primarily because of my second amendment views... I really loved that job, but disliked the political foolishness rife within their walls.

I had a high ranking 'protector' for a couple of years, but when he lost power the new powers got rid of me - and a few other people with inconvenient ideas. The place fell apart and became a sewer to work for, so I was well shed of it. I was also ready to retire. I was a lucky one.

I was fired from a political appointment by a weak-kneed Republican after the PC crowd attacked me in a multi-pronged effort over humorous posts I had made over the years in defense of conservative values. Unable to find another position in my chosen field since... Had to be creative and start my own business. My weakness is that I still hold a serious grudge...
