Only if you’re in the media

I had heard from some family about their coworkers getting fired for that sentiment. I don’t know the exact phrasing of their posts.

Anonymous would have known enough to be correct and also not get fired.

There’s three minutes between the posts. It’s just a joke.

This kind of post is so hard to process. Are you trying to make me believe in a just world? How dare you.

He revealed his power level. That’s never a winning move.

Whoever talks seriously about “racial politics” and not at least “cultural politics” is already lost, has never interacted with people deeply outside of their same tribe (because then he’d see how any important differences are not racial and genetic but learned, ideological and sociocultural) and probably gets all his “information” regarding the narratives and metanarratives from propaganda feeds. 🤷

I mean, you’re entirely correct, but there’s also racial politics as in “race relations”. Like “why are we regressing on race based civil liberty protections and seeing an upswing in racial prejudice”.
Racial groups don’t have homogeneous political opinions, but they are often the subject of political opinions.
All that to say: there are many different ways to express a disgustingly inappropriate blend of racial and political opinions in a workplace, and we shouldn’t assume they picked any particular inappropriate way.
