Decorum forcing people to only say nice things about a piece of shit person because any criticism or expressing happiness that he is gone being misconstrued as supporting the way in which he died is bullshit though.

    Being forced to say nice things about him would, indeed, mean you have a shitty job. Consequences for saying negative things about him is different. On social media that's identified with me or easily traced back to me I say nothing about Charlie Kirk. Lemmy, on the other hand...

    No one is forcing me to say nice things about him at work. I just can't openly talk trash about him at my job, which means I say nothing. Even without being in a government job, don't most people avoid politics in the work place anyway? I'm here on Lemmy because my comments can't be linked to my actual life and job.

    Right? We have 1 guy at work who wears his politics on his sleeve. Even people who agree with him avoid him in the office because theres no place for that. The only people i talk politics with are people ive worked with for over 10 years and we have an outside of work friendship
