The organizational structure of a pro-chud HVAC contractor is different enough from corpo HR nonsense that the enforcement of social norms is way different.
What i mean, if you are working in a labor intensive trade and the team you are working with really doesn't like you, they will try to convince the boss that you suck at the job (if you are new on the team this will be easy). If that doesn't work the most roided guys will threaten to beat your ass while the rats plot against you.
The chuds can make quitting because you don't like eachother a very appealing option on their home turf, in the event that they decide someone really doesn't fit in.
I've heard of this type of thing happening a few times, and surprisingly none of the aspiring electricians and house framers had much of a twitter presence to complain about it to.

i'm talking about converting money into political capital, not about how broad censorship can be. Paying off youtube is probably possible but not cheap, and to cover all your bases it would be very expensive (or require already having political power as we have seen before)
If i had a million bucks to run a fucky political campaign id buy more shills and pay off less censors.

The difference is that hiring reddit moderators to delete wrongthink only works on reddit, hiring actual shills to say positive things about your position can work on any online platform and can theoretically convince people to parrot your talking points IRL, which is way more impactful than reducing your opponents arguments to [message deleted] in one tiny sliver of the internet
Of course it isn't symmetrical, why would it be. Imagining that rednecks don't have their own ways to socially police rhetoric they disapprove of is just as foolish as attempting to be the squeaky wheel in any other workplace where there is a clear politically correct position to have.
And fwiw, if a guy takes naps in his truck he should and will get fired. I'm thinking more along the lines of "yeah that new guys a flaming faggot, i dont want that mf around me all day". I've had jobs where that could be a pretty persuasive argument to the crew in general. I kindof imagine being strongly conservative as a college professor is similar. The old guard can smell that you are different, they don't like it, they concoct some bullshit offense for you to have unknowingly committed.
