"Don't call it a grave. It's the future you chose"
Though on top of Arch pointing out how the world the author in question wants is now the one cancelling him for wrongthink, as he elaborates further in the replies:
This could also be seen as GW mowing towards de-politicising themselves by taking a stance away from the far left as well, this is good but i still don't want any one to be cancelled over it, it's wrong when it happens to me and it's wrong when it happens to some one else.
I don't know that I agree, here... when someone is pushing views that alienate the majority of the population and you're a corporation who needs customers...
As Michael Jordan allegedly said, Republicans buy shoes too. Put differently, someone like an author is a public facing brand ambassador. Your conduct will be held to a higher standard in those positions than a warehouse worker, and if you want to use it as a political platform, you may have that boomerang back at you.
If I were running BL, I would have fired this person too. Again, note their role. This is not a random non-public facing employee. The correct political stance for most public corporations to have is none; you are there to maximize profit for your shareholders.
Edit: It's not about being left or right in this case, either. It's that if you are going to be politically bombastic AND a brand ambassador at the same time, you're always going to be risking your job, because the brand matters more to a company than any one person.
