Easy to say when the withering gaze isn't on you or your loved ones.
Can you really be sure that you wouldn't bend the knee if your choice is to obey or lose everything to the mob? What if your spouse, children, or extended family disown you if you don't obey? What if your hobby groups exile you if you don't obey? What if your economic income is cut if you don't obey? Are you willing to have your house, car, and so on all openly available for vandalism or destruction until you obey? What about the material goods of your family because of their relation to you? Are you willing to die for your car?
When faced directly by the mob, knowing the government will do nothing to save or compensate you, your neighbors will do nothing to save or compensate you, and there is no counter-mob to keep the current mob at bay, do you really choose the option of egging the mob on knowing that protecting what's yours will end with you in prison or dead? Or do you simply say "I'm sorry," take your beating for ever questioning the mob, and try to pick up the pieces?
Our government needs to do something to halt this madness and make sure it never happens again. So far, they've done nothing, and this conversation hasn't even been had. We've not had any discussion on how to fix this, and I'm concerned this is by design. Therefore, I'm going to give a possible solution that hopefully would fix this without infringing on the freedom of anyone. It's in two steps:
Make ideology a protected class.
Make conspiring to cause material injury to an individual for a protected class a crime.
The former gives those that are fired because their company is spineless and bent the knee to radical left ideology a way to combat the loss. If taken to court, it would be fairly easy to prove that victim said X online, company fired them immediately afterwards.
The latter seeks to halt this current fad of people calling companies to inform them that a worker of theirs is not conforming to their ideology in the hopes of getting that employee fired. This law would make it possible for the company to respond with "thanks, you're being reported to local police with this message as evidence." Wording on it is far from perfect, but I'm still iterating on the idea.
It's similar to race or age being a protected class. Doesn't matter which race or what number.
Yes, it would protect people I strongly disagree with, and it would give just about everyone a way to make their firing a court battle. However, the idea is that the fired individual would need proof that it isn't what the company claims, and it is what they claim.
I believe a person should keep or lose their job based on their merit, their ability to fulfill what is requested of them, and the company's current needs. If a person constantly underperforms or is caught wasting company time while providing average/below-average results, it's reasonable to remove them. If a person is caught breaking rules of various importance (stop harassing Linda, don't steal company property, etc), it's reasonable to remove them. If a company decides to stop selling toasters and start selling televisions, it's reasonable to remove the toaster specialists.
I don't think it's cool if a company fired someone solely because they believe there are 2 genders, 32 genders, no genders, or infinite genders, especially if they're good at their job and follow policies/requests made of them.

Then you get the problem of which ideology. Yes, they will do that.
