Oh, waiting for the punishment to start.

Authoritarians love to quash protest, and when they can’t they start bringing out the riot gear and batons. CEOs and corporations are by default dictators and dictatorships.

I wouldn’t be surprised at companies trolling social media and firing anyone that might suggest violence in association with their employer.

(They absolutely check social media. My partner and I work for Fortune 500 companies and long ago scrubbed any association with our employers from our accounts. Nonetheless, my other half works for an employee group to help co-workers with job issues, and it never ceases to amaze me how many stories I hear secondhand about people posting stupid stuff online that gets them fired. The company actively looks for this stuff. Probably preaching to the choir here on lemmy, but just in case anyone needs a reminder.)

Not an employee, but I guess close enough.
