Now you can not only lose your job for having the “wrong” opinion but for using the “wrong” platform. Reclaim the Net reports:
Colleen Oefelein, a former agent at The Jennifer De Chiara Literary Agency, was fired after Twitter users complained that she was using anti-big tech platforms Gab and Parler.
Yesterday, the anonymous Twitter account YA Whispers tagged The Jennifer De Chiara Literary Agency and quote tweeted one of Oefelein’s tweet threads from November 2020 where she announced:
“I’m now also posting on Parler. It’s a great platform with no censorship! Giving away a few critiques there next week. Come find me.”
YA Whispers branded Gab and Parler “alt-right” and asked The Jennifer De Chiara Literary Agency whether it knows or cares that one of their agents frequents these platforms.
On the same day, the agency’s president and founder, Jennifer De Chiara responded to the tweet, thanked YA Whispers, and revealed that Oefelein had been fired.
Of course the literacy agency should have just told YA Whisperers that they stick by their agents and told YA Whispers where to go. But that was never going to happen as De Chiara is a SJW herself.
[…]She added: “The Jennifer De Chiara Literary Agency has in the past and will continue to ensure a voice of unity, equality, and one that is on the side of social justice.”
These tweets from De Chiara didn’t point to any issues with Oefelein’s posts on Gab and Parler – just the fact that she had an account on these platforms and the potential that people could be “offended or affected” by the existence of these accounts.
Basically, you can now be cancelled for not only having the wrong opinion but also for merely having an account out on the “wrong platform”. And unless we start fighting back it’s only going to get worse.
The key thing to remember is, whatever tactics the Left and SJWs use can be used against them. If a business fires an agent or employee because that agent or employee says something that business doesn’t agree with then we let the customers of that business know. We tell the customers to stop doing business with that business.
And if a company or organisation pulls advertising simply because someone said something then we go after that company and its customers. Target and boycott. If the Left can do it, then so can we, and there are far more of us than them.
In short, if a business decides to go woke, let’s make sure they go broke.
