[QUOTE="joegrizzy, post: 3849002, member: 45524"] LOTS of people with the whole "muh privacy" thing leading to "your personal characteristics are your identity" will just lead to people being more and more open about the "bad" things they do. imo, employers and HR types are going to have to reckon with hiring someone who is openly a furry, openly a weed smoker, openly a kobra kommander antifa type, openly a *gasp* conservative, openly a hot taker, etc etc. we all used online avatars and aliases, but oddly boomers and Z's are absolutely OBSESSED with using their "real" identities online. the problem is, like i said you aren't going to be able to restrict people based on social media posting when EVERYONE posts on social media and it's merely a matter of choosing the least of the radicals. not to mention that MANY companies at this point would be MORE likely to hire someone based on "radical" or "fringe" posting if it fits with the "culture" of said companies. this creates a feedback loop of virtue signaling (which is why people do it in the first place) wherein that sort of posting gets encouraged. ie, if you get a following for posting "F TRUMP", odds are that leads to positive social mobility, not negative. the extremes of this are the people who throw caution to the wind and go all in, creating a make or break political persona. these people can get very wealthy very quickly after amassing a very large following. the problem is: who is following them, for how long, and what happens when they stop? people like Nick Fuentes or even Kyle Rittenhouse are looking good right now, but what about people like Milo Yanananananapolous or stefan molyneux? the left equivalents are guys like that Brooklyn Dad, or those twins who the first to post on every Donald Trump tweet. like that was their *career* just merely posting "NUH UH U SUCK" on the President's twitter feed. so just saying "YOU'D NEVER GET A JOB POSTING SOCIAL MEDIA OPINIONS BETTER CHECK YERSELF" isn't quite the reality of the world we live in. kids see this. ask them what they want to be. they ALL want to be e-celebs or "influencers". what do you think that means? how can you be an e-celeb or an influencer without controversial or edgy opinions? and therein lies the rub. now everyone does it, attached to their real identity, openly, and expects those who agree to help them and those who disagree to deride them. this will extend to the job market. hell this already is; it's what we're talking about. i guess my point, it's going to go from "be careful to what you post on social media" to "make sure you post things that people who agree with your points of view will easily align with". the LAST thing you want to do is piss EVERYONE off like some kinda instigator. they NEVER like those types <_< [/QUOTE]
