As it should be. Politics at work makes for untenable working conditions. Large enough companies will tend to have people deeply on both sides of the political spectrum. Encouraging or even allowing discussion on hot political issues is a recipe for disaster. It can ruin what we’re otherwise perfectly good working relationships.

Maybe this was true when it was Carter vs. Reagan or what(when)ever, but we live in very different times now where it has become impossible to ignore what is happening around us politically.
Carter vs. Reagan, 1980. USA: 23,368 nuclear warheads. USSR: 30,062 nuclear warheads. We are talking about peak Cold War, which will see some detente only after 1985 and Gorbachev reforms.

Why? Meta is using the money they make off the women working for them against them.

If you are a woman working for Facebook the fact is the owner Mr Zuckerberg is actively supporting a political movement whose state goal is to reduce you to the status of chattel. Not only are most people on the thread okay with that. They think women pushing back against it is not okay.
