Just discovered r/byebyejob, a subreddit dedicated to celebrating people getting fired for stuff they post on social media

np.reddit.com/r/byebyejob

From the sidebar: "Images of people losing job/school/other opportunities in life, because of their actions online, or in the real world."

The lack of self-awareness of these people is astonishing. Naturally, all the top posts are stuff from undeniable racists getting their comeuppance- posts like ["Nazi saluting hospital worker gets the boot after being found out"](https://np.reddit.com/r/byebyejob/comments/hwg0jn/nazi_saluting_hospital_worker_gets_the_boot_after/) or ["Firefighter loses job after being openly racist"](https://np.reddit.com/r/byebyejob/comments/hrv06p/firefighter_loses_job_after_being_openly_racist/). No one objects to firing Nazis and racists, right?

Literally two seconds of browsing the sub later, and you have tons of examples of this being used against the liberal left:

1. ["Black Officer Who Defended George Floyd Fired From Police Department"](https://np.reddit.com/r/byebyejob/comments/icf9hs/does_this_count/) 2. ["Longtime meteorologist compares tRump’s federal police to nazi soldiers. Bye bye job"](https://np.reddit.com/r/byebyejob/comments/hyw1ms/longtime_meteorologist_compares_trumps_federal/) 3. ["Police detective fired over pro-Black Lives Matter social media post"](https://np.reddit.com/r/byebyejob/comments/hjwh2y/police_detective_fired_over_problack_lives_matter/)

I did a search on the sub for "Palestine," "Gaza," and "BDS," and you will be shocked to learn there were no results. Meanwhile: ["Fieldston teacher says they were fired after controversial tweets"](https://riverdalepress.com/stories/fieldston-teacher-fired-controversial-tweets-israel-palestine-bronx-nyc,70965):

> "I support BDS (boycotts, divestments, sanctions) and Palestinian sovereignty, and I have for my entire life," they continued, citing BDS — boycotts, divestments, sanctions — that some have called for against Israel because of accused past actions against Palestinians."

> "I refuse to reaffirm the value of ethnonationalist settler colonialism."

Apparently this has become a big thing online recently; [this post](https://np.reddit.com/r/byebyejob/comments/hk0o1r/what_if_youre_in_the_process_of_trying_to_get/) asks for help in getting someone fired and gets responses directing them to 'big groups' on Facebook and Twitter.

Anyway, I thought this was funny because I got linked to it from r/ democraticsocialism ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯ Now that's what I call call class consciousness!
