In the modern world, EVERYONE has a soapbox. For every Twitter or Facebook account with a supposed Mozilla employee feigning disdain for Eich, there are ten others silent on the issue.
I’ve NEVER been a part of this social media psychoses that’s gripping the world. I prefer my quiet little corner of America. If people want to know what I’m thinking, they’ll buy me a beer and ask me.
That said, I know conservatives who are part of the social media zeitgeist, and they spend more time posting pictures of their kids, pets, families, and chocolate cake recipes than they do opining on media red meat.
Notice “iamjessklein” started her Tweet with “Have waited too long to say this.” That tells me if avenues such as Twitter and Facebook didn’t exist, she’d sit and stew in her little cubicle because she has to. There’s a lot of crap in this world with which we have to put up. I’m not going to lose my job just to post my opinion on a site that tracks trends based on what people say in 140 characters.
I may hate my CEO’s politics. I may hate my HR department’s hiring practices. Having a job and caring for my family is paramount. Unless my company is making their money through means with which I morally or ethically disagree (i.e. theft, abortion, etc.), I’m going to sit down and shut up and be a good little worker bee.
not to mention keeping the dirty laundry in your own home... They are all sick pussy weasels :/ and like I said in a previous post.. Mozilla is dead to me now :p
