Is this post-irony? This is the exact same logic racists use.
It's literally the exact same logic, because racists discuss people's mutable characteristics as well.
>I’m discussing communication styles, which are mutable, and the ideologies that tend to be associated with them, which are also mutable.
You literally just described "SPEAK ENGLISH" and "if only Black people spoke properly and wore their pants up above their waist" (both mutable characteristics).
This has to be post-irony. Good troll.
Not at all. Definitely not in the era of "cancel culture".
>It often turns out that the views in question are something that people have good reason to disapprove of - racism, homophobia, transphobia, etc.
It rarely turns out that the views in question are something that people have good reason to disapprove of - racism, homophobia, transphobia, etc.
A few examples from past and current companies I've worked at:
1. Titling an apolitical presentation "Make Front-ends Great Again" caused several leftist activist employees to explode on Slack about fascist White supremacy culture.
2. "Believing" (this is an objective fact) that trans-women are biological male humans is hate speech and a firable offence.
3. Expressing the opinion that the company openly donating to shady BLM foundations[0], or any political group for that matter is not a good idea was shouted down as supporting the fascist, racist, White supremacist status quo.
The list goes on. These basic examples are more than enough to get a target on your back, and possibly fired.
