This implies top down power structures are moral paragons of judgement. An awful lot of trust put in authority figures and corporate oversight no? Do you feel this way about other political issues that corporate entities engage with?

Can you think of one example of doing/ saying something outside of work that you could be unfairly fired for? Are you fighting ghosts?

Protesting for Palestine

You really are fighting ghosts! I know lists of people (including the Australian prime minister) that have been sighted at pro Palestine protests and not been fired. But I do know of a bunch of people that went to anti-covid lockdown protests turned riots that face repercussions in their personal and professional lives. And I think that's the difference. Expressing an opinion and participating in unnecessary violence.

I googled it and the first few articles were about some employers had (you're right I stand corrected) and now are facing huge backlash for having done so (oh wait this works both ways). I'm not actually sure what point you're arguing for at this stage.

I suppose I'm a fan of due process instead of trial by public opinion or even worse, corporate oversight. Wild stance, I know. I'm a fringe thinker.

I'm a fan of due process in regard to criminal matters. However I don't think I need to hold a trial to decide I don't want to support a band anymore. Again: not cancel culture, just the way the world has always been. If you behave in ways people don't like/agree with the will distance themselves from you.
