I don’t think this is compatible with dismissing the struggle for human dignity in America as “politics”

And exactly what made said struggle so overpoweringly morally correct in every possible way that you can qualify it as a pure struggle for human dignity that can't be subjected to any valid criticism? Or claim that nobody has a morally sound right to stay out of it or claim it's too tinged with politics? Pray tell.

Of course, the only correct definition of human dignity is your definition.

strictly a thought exercise: is it possible to have reasonable discussion when one side considers not having an opinion on a subject or not wanting to discuss a subject with coworkers to immediately be equivalent to "you're equivalent to a white supremacist"?

Note that this is not my own thoughts on the subject, but I'm legitimately curious how you can have discourse in a situation similar to this: https://www.businessinsider.com/facebook-fires-employee-who-... - what would you do when someone asks? What would the expected result be?

A commonly accepted notion of dignity. If the majority didn't agree, we'd still have slavery.
