Yes, "going with the flow" or the "herd mentality" is well known and is a legitimate defence for doing stuff you don't really want to do.

No-one dare show any anti-wokeness these days if they want to keep their jobs.

Yes, similarly - what if one or some F1 drivers disagreed with it? Bottas, Hamilton's team mate, for example.

As it is supposedly a political action, maybe they're told how to vote on election day as well.

Don't be silly.

Well they would be wise to keep that secret as we all know how political views means you are ostracised and rejected in work and other settings

 

[Scarlet Pimpernel]

I didn't start it.

If taking the knee is supposedly a political action, and others are suggesting that certain employees are required to associate with this political persuasion, who decides what political actions are required to be complied with, and what happens to those employees who refuse to comply with such political actions?
And is UK still a democracy if employers can insist on their employees complying with political actions?

Is racism a political or a personal/social issue?
I would argue it's a personal/ social issue. But eradicating it in society requires a political approach to legislate against it.

Not when it comes to referendums. Apparently.

 

[Scarlet Pimpernel]

Referendums are not a function of UK democracy. They are merely a feature of it.
If you need explanation I'm happy to oblige.

Is the "Black Power" fist a political or social issue?

It looks awfully like the Sieg Heil to me.

No thanks I like my explanations to be correct and unbiased.

 

[Scarlet Pimpernel]

Is the "Black Power" fist a political or social issue?

You could argue that it is a political movement dealing with a social issue.
You could argue that BLM is also a political movement dealing with a social issue.
But taking a knee is not supporting BLM, it is supporting the eradication of all inequality in society. (See the Millwall article, form the club.)

It looks awfully like the Sieg Heil to me.

Don't be silly.
