As a leftist I guess I might have the most ridiculous getting fired story for politics.
We had a social uprising some years ago, and had a coup attempt some fewer years ago. After that attempt they tried to get rid of some people to "calm things down".
They were trying to get rid of me because of my "left leanings" and this was the perfect smoke screen. First they accused me of being a coup sympathizer, that didn't stick. Then they said I was a proponent of that social uprising (which was true) but they couldn't find any proof. So they went with the second best thing, which is:
A photograph of my wife, when she was a student (at that time, we didn't even know each other), drinking sourcherry juice out of a wine glass (which they thought was wine).
You might be saying "how the fuck is that even remotely related to anything?", to which I say "you are 100% right" but I guess drinking wine means being leftist and consequently possible social upriser (is that a word?).
What??? Why even bother coming up with a justification at that point? You'd think that would sound weirder to people then just firing you for being a leftist.
Thats so many levels of fucked up that it just loops around to being hilarious
And also fucked up of course
to be fair,
