Microsoft fires Joe Lopez for disrupting Genocide-profiteer Satya Nadella during Microsoft Build Keynote speech and bans words like “Palestine”, “Gaza” and “Genocide” in all company emails!!! Yet another chapter in a long tale of Microsoft’s intimidation, retaliation, repression, and censorship culture.

    I already answered this question, although I thought you meant something different, but it’s still the same, firing someone for saying something is not right.

    Once more, you have no way of saying they would be fired though. Assumptions have no value here, we can only talk about facts.

    The fact we have is that a company making business with a genocidal fascist regime gets butthurt when being called out. Are you ok with it?

    Also you are focusing on that single employee, while the post is about censorship of emails. Are you still ok with it?

    As I asked earlier, where do you draw the line?

      Wonderful, some actual moral fiber from you.

      Once more, you have no way of saying they would be fired though. Assumptions have no value here, we can only talk about facts.

      Ok, here’s a fact. Being LGBTQ+ in palestine will get you arrested. Do you think that is right? I don’t blame the children of palestine for this, of course. Israel should be severly punished for blocking humanitarian aid that directly hurts children. But to think that palestine is some innocent fair and free society is blatantly wrong. They are a puppet of Hamas at this point.

      Calling Israel a fascist state when they are objectively surrounded on all sides by enemies that would have them killed, is weird.

      Also you are focusing on that single employee, while the post is about censorship of emails. Are you still ok with it?

      The entire post is about that single employee. Not about censorship of emails. It’s company email and they can do whatever they want with it, but I can also elect to not work for them. See how that works?

      I am absolutely against censorship. But I also acknowledge that there is ownership of “things”. In this case, a company has the legal right to do as they want with their stuff.

        Oh fuck, I wasn’t ready for the “Palestine is bad with LGBTQ+ people” and the “Israel has the right to defend itself” rhetoric… it all sounds so dated and meaningless…

        How should that have anything to do with what we are talking about here?

        What does all that have to do with Microsoft and its workers rights?

        Also, are you saying that Nazi-Germany wouldn’t have been a fascist state if it was surrounded by enemies? Or that they would have been justified in their actions?

        Can you think before typing surreal things and maybe limit yourself to discussing the topic?

          You asked for facts, dumbfuck. Those are facts. Actual facts. If you can strawman, then so can I.

          You also got my response of the workers rights, but since you don’t have anything more to add other than even more logical fallacies, then we’re done here.

          Also, are you saying that Nazi-Germany wouldn’t have been a fascist state if it was surrounded by enemies? Or that they would have been justified in their actions?

          Oh good god. You are a fucking idiot aren’t you? They aren’t comparable, at all. That’s the point. It’s a completely different conflict in a different geopolitical position, for different reasons, different people, different politically.

          “Are you saying that…” is never a good start to an argument, my guy. You’ll end up looking like an idiot really fast.

        You either lack reading comprehension or you aren’t willing to comprehend then.

        Oh well…
