What's that? You don't know what a zweedledab is? Shame on you. You'll find out next year, when it becomes the Woke Flavour of the Month and you can lose your career for being insufficiently supportive. Remember, ‘silence is violence’, and so is saying the wrong thing.

It’s time to bury him

A thread where most of the posts think this is nothing, a handful of posts think it could be something but that he shouldn't be fired, and anyone who actually thinks he should be fired are people who want him fired because he sucks, not because of this...
...and still a few edgelords come out acting like they have some hot take about "the woke mob" or "the culture" or "young people." Honestly, read the room. I know you think your take is on fire and you are standing guard at the gates of common sense, or whatever, but you'll notice most people are there with you, so it comes off a bit silly and a bit tired. Get a personality.
And please, make fun of cancel culture all you want. But if you have to make fun of people using preferred pronouns or mocking the way people identify, you're a bigot. Plain and simple. You can do one without doing the other.
