God you people live in an authoritarian wasteland of a country.

How the fuck does the government have this much control over the media?

In it, the executives eulogize Kirk, calling him an “advocate for open debate, whose faith was important to him.”

Open debate is good. Now, never bring up and debate any position held by this man.

I don't work for Comcast and I never will, so let me say this for all of the affected workers:

Fuck him. I will not mourn him. He registers as nothing more than a statistic to me. I'd much rather spend my time mourning children getting mowed down at school than him.

Anyway, hope that gives the workers some relief.

America is a farce

they’re terrified people might learn something from this.

Freedom of speech my ass. America is completely and utterly fucked beyond repair at this point.

I think this is just an issue with how monopolised mainstream media is

I hope everyone publicly expresses support for the kids shot in Evergreen on the same day while pointedly ignoring Kirk's death. I think that sends a clear message without having to mention Kirk at all.

I mean, it is fair for the company leadership to decide on what is said through their channels.

I don't really see any issues with them limiting what can be said when representing their company.

However, any coworker should be able to post, comment and like what they want on their own personal social media pages without it affecting their employment.

I remember various attempts by employers to force employees to represent the brand and company at all times, that is just idiotic.

I will only accept that my employer will have me say "no comment" when asked about company opinions or details in my free time.

I was frustrated that Canadian news outlets were downplaying who he really was. They're also saying people who are celebrating his death should be ashamed.

He contributed to death, ignorance, misinfo, and leading youth into the alt right pipeline. People should be able to participate in politics without risk of their life.

People should also participate in good faith and shouldn't be allowed to lie or steal. In a just system, these people would be held accountable by the courts. People also should not be allowed to advocate for things that directly or indirectly cause hatred, racism, discrimination, etc.

I don't feel ashamed for feeling okay with this situation. At most, I feel bad for his kids, but I felt bad for them regardless of this situation.

Idk man. It's dumb

Comcast executives putting themselves on a list

by wrong thing i assume they mean don't point out charlie's history of white supremacy and antisemitism?
