Instances? The only thing that comes to my mind is Brendon Eich at Mozilla. And even then, it wasn’t so much as being fired as being squeezed out of the CEO slot.
Sorry i have a job and can not sit on HN news all day...
As to examples, it is clear by your comments you do not want actual examples but rather just want to move the goal posts
Cancel Culture is very real, people are terminated from jobs all the time based on their personal posts on twitter, Facebook, Instagram etc, or other comments online that "offend" a certain segment of the population that is perpetually offended at everything and then pressure employers to fire those people.
Kevin was fired for promoting alt-right views on internal message boards at Google, and not for supporting a protest. He made several of his co-workers uncomfortable enough to report him to their managers, who gave him several warnings before rightfully terminating him as an employee.
Here's a more detailed write-up about Kevin Cernekee, what he stands for, and why no one wants to work with him (link below).
Well yes. Supporting political organisation is the form of political activity.
He was bullied and fired for these actions only, I don't see any mentions that he was annoying people any way other than expressing his views.
How is that different from penalising people for supporting violent protests?
If it's okay for you to punish for one stance and not to punish for another then you are pro-censorship. So don't be surprised when companies start to censor people you like - you allowed them to do that.
Sure, but it's still part of political process that is complicated and in some cases eliminating other views. But cannot compare it to the communist China and thank goodness there are no special camps in US to educate people until the regime thinks they are eligible to be free.
Yes... If you support Libertarian or Conservative things
