You can have whatever opinion you want to have... in private. Even I 
know now to make it too obvious that I'm a conservative at the 
workplace, if only because I know I'm surrounded by rabid leftists who 
would suddenly claim that I sexually assaulted them if they knew.

Or maybe just don't publicly accuse the company you work for of crimes. These
idiots deserved to be fired. 

No, this is not a "freedom of speech" issue.  First, no one stopped them from
saying what they wanted to say. 

Second, freedoom of speech does not even apply here. Feel free to look up what
"freedom of speech" actually means. And more importantly, where it applies. 
Hint: Microsoft is not a government, and where these fools opened their yaps
was not public property.

OK, but still, they had a valid point, and I'm saying fuck M$ for
helping the Kikeland regime.

It is not a "valid point".   It is an opinion. 

But even if it WAS a valid point, a company meeting that is also being watched
live over the net is not the place to scream at company executives.  Again,
these idiots deserved to be shouted down, pushed out the door and fired.

And BTW.  If the company you work for is a "war profiteer", then so are you. 
 

That's how stupid these people were. All they had to do is resign quietly. 
They could have maintained their dignity.  But no, they had to prove to the
world that they are dumbasses AND troublemakers.  Good luck getting another
job now.

Tell it to the Arab women and children who've had genocide done to
them by the Israeli regime.

.... and the topic under discussion (protesting during a Business 
Meeting) has exactly WHAT to do with 'Arab women and children who've had 
genocide done to them' ... as disgusting as that is??

And what do either topic have to do with Windows-10, -11 or Linux OSes??

The point is that M$ is cowering just like the politicians before the
almighty pro-Israel propagandizing machine - so fuck using Winblows.

The bigoted ethnic slur is uncalled-for.

Furthermore, the horrific actions of Israel as a country are against
the desires of many Jewish people.  Lumping them in together is a common
mistake, one I wouldn't have expected you to make.

It's rhetorical - as soon as the "Palis" or "sand N-words" or whatever
the Jews call them are human beings, to the Jews, I'll stop calling
Israel Kikeland.

I'm aware there are many good Jews.
