If they're and engineer there's lots of things they could be doing where it'd have no bearing on their job at all. Now if they were hired to work on a spacecraft and it'd interfere with their work, maybe yeah. You'd need proof they couldn't do their work to prevent paying out unemployment or getting sued though.

I'm not particularly sure, it's a good question. What does the Constitution say, and what about the Supreme Court? There's an upcoming case on this here, since I take it you're referring to deplatforming and financially destroying us for disagreeing with foundational beliefs about race.

I'm pretty sure the answer you're looking for is "no." The founders set up this country in the 1700's, they would probably have been more explicitly nuanced about this stuff had they known about stuff like private monopolies and social media. Really what we're talking about when we discuss free speech, practically, not denotatively, is whether your hated, unpopular, and "dangerous" ideas have the ability to destroy powerful institutions. Like, whether you're able to speak freely about your unpopular ideas and use them to change minds. When you allow people to get ruined over their ideas, the people whose free speech actually matters is threatened because they will be forced to be quiet in order to preserve their livelihoods. The people who get real hard-up on technicalities and definitions are simply people who want to censor people they don't like or find dangerous. Everyone says they like free speech until they encounter their enemies. THEN it's an exception to the rule.

Furthermore, the fact that racist speech is being negotiated reveals the nonexistence of white supremacy in society. Imagine if Hitler had to "dogwhistle" to his supporters. Imagine if the Armenians tried to pass laws banning anti Armenian speech in Turkey. It's fucking retarded. Brown people aren't oppressed, and being called a low IQ nigger is about as damaging as being called a fragile white person who needs to stop breeding. They are just crybabies who use anecdotes and stories to make psychologically damaged whites advance their racial interests. That's why they flock here and then immediately complain about how white people treat them.
