As I approached this season, I have heard one particular phrase frequently circulated among much of corporate communication: \u201cBring your authentic self to\u2062 work.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>But more recently\u2062 I have heard \u2063cautions for those of us in uniform to be anything but open as we return to the \u200bsociety \u2063from which we \u200bwere drawn. I find this\u200c deeply concerning. The nation should \u2062beware of prioritizing deception \u200bas <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/walsh-meghan-markle-is-a-self-victimizing-drama-queen\/\" title=\"WALSH: Meghan Markle Is A Self-Victimizing Drama Queen\">social currency<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2-long d-flex justify-content-center\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center; \" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-122269356\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1379703300879-0\" class=\"mb-30\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-94411b4a50b2eb6e775bcb219b3f794c fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-94411b4a50b2eb6e775bcb219b3f794c\"><\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>Embracing Individuality<\/h3>\n<p>Last \u200csummer I\u200b began attending the transition briefings required prior to separation from \u2062the\u200b service. At one\u200b particular event, a retired military \u200cman \u2014 now working for a large national\u200c company \u2014 warned us that it\u2019s very important \u200cto\u200b keep a low\u2063 social media\u2062 profile because\u2064 of perceptual risk from hiring managers. He told of unfriending his sister on Facebook because he didn\u2019t\u2062 want\u200c anyone from his workplace to associate them with each other. That moment got my attention. <\/p>\n<p>If\u200b the sister posts deviant content, I would \u2063probably keep some distance in \u200conline spaces for the sake of my sanity. But what if the sister is merely someone who expresses facts that just happen to be inconvenient \u200dto the\u2062 current sociopolitical moment? We have seen time and again that facts disputed by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/dems-lost-all-credibility-on-social-distancing-after-biden-celebrations\/\" title=\"Dems Lost All Credibility On Social Distancing After Biden Celebrations\">corporate media<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ga-poll-watcher-it-expert-non-trump-supporter-affidavit-sudden-surge-of-20000-mail-in-votes-for-biden-in-early-hours-on-nov\/\" title=\"GA Poll Watcher, IT Expert, Non-Trump Supporter Affidavit: Sudden Surge of 20,000 Mail-In-Votes For Biden In Early Hours On Nov\">social media companies<\/a>, and \u200dgovernment officials frequently turn out to \u2062be true.   <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Last summer I\u2063 began attending the transition briefings required prior to separation from the service.\u200c At \u200cone particular event,\u2062 a retired military man \u2014 now\u200d working\u2064 for \u200ca large national\u2063 company \u200d\u2014 warned us\u2062 that it\u2019s very \u2062important to keep a \u2063low social media profile because of perceptual risk from \u2064hiring managers. He told of unfriending his sister on Facebook\u2062 because he didn\u2019t want anyone from his workplace \u200cto associate them with each other. That moment got my attention. <\/p>\n<p>If the\u200c sister posts\u2063 deviant content, \u200cI would probably keep\u2063 some distance in online spaces for the sake of \u2063my sanity. But what if the \u200dsister is merely someone\u200d who expresses facts that just happen to\u2063 be inconvenient to the current sociopolitical moment? We have seen time \u200band again that facts \u2063disputed by corporate media, social media companies, \u200cand\u2063 government officials \u200dfrequently turn out to be \u200btrue.   <\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>Challenging the Status\u2063 Quo<\/h3>\n<p>The call to sacrificially\u2064 appease the human \u200cresources syndicate renewed itself in another employment seminar I\u2062 attended this year. Again, I encountered the caution \u2062through a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/posts\/chase-spears_in-a-military-transition-class-today-i-cringe-activity-7038881383028588544--lOa?utm_source=share&#038;utm_medium=member_desktop\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LinkedIn discussion<\/a>. I was \u200bwarned that employers fear \u200dthat an employee who expresses a \u200cthought on his or her own time might also express \u2064a thought in the workplace. Such thinking from clearly well-intentioned people seems backward to me, as if we \u200cshould not <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/its-time-to-admit-the-most-uncomfortable-truth-about-our-schools\/\" title=\"It\u2019s Time To Admit The Most Uncomfortable Truth About Our Schools\u00a0\">encounter ideas<\/a> and ways \u200bof thinking that might challenge our own. <\/p>\n<p>People of\u2064 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/id-like-to-call-human-resources-on-hostile-hr-thought-police\/\" title=\"Need to report hostile HR thought police to Human Resources.\">faith-directed moral principles routinely encounter rhetoric<\/a> that\u200c is \u2062contrary to\u2064 their own beliefs \u2063and sometimes condescending. The reality is \u200cthat many companies, corporations, \u200cand government institutions tolerate \u201cpolitically correct\u201d expressions in the workplace while shaming voices aligned with a traditional worldview. My time in the U.S. Army contains such \u200binstances, and I\u2019m not alone. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This is in spite of protections offered by the U.S. Constitution, civil law, and military\u2064 regulation.\u200b Culture and political \u200dsway always trump the rules. When you look \u200dat where people are being pressured, disciplined, \u2062or fired for sharing their beliefs at \u200bwork, it is usually\u2062 an incident of\u2064 discrimination against speaking the truth by military\u2062 commanders or civilian managers who have adopted a form of\u2064 leftist social\u200d orthodoxy.  <\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>Fostering Intellectual Discourse<\/h3>\n<p>Part of the argument for why we should \u2062present \u2064as neutral in online spaces revolves around a belief that people \u2062cannot be taught how \u200cto engage productively\u2062 on tough \u200cissues. Society has lost the ability \u200dto think, reason, and respectfully debate. Shall we then remove anything related\u2063 to thinking skills from educational curriculum? The point of identifying \u200ca deficiency is so \u2064that it can be addressed. We should not accept\u2062 a lack of skills in dialogue and thought as normal and then strike them from the list of disciplines to be pursued. Because\u2063 one generation has not been taught something important does not mean people\u200b should \u2064abandon it entirely.  <\/p>\n<p>Rather\u200d than calling for an end to societal discourse, we should\u200b work to recapture the skill. \u200cI\u2063 am not advocating that \u2063we \u200cbring cable news-style fights to the \u2064job site \u2064or that everyone abandons all expressive caution, manner, and restraint. But \u2064we must end the \u2063fear and spirals of silence that have become too \u2063frequent across workplaces, especially for workers who hold to a morality that\u2064 was understood to be normal until 15 minutes ago. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Deliberately \u2062or unwittingly, those who argue in\u2062 favor of self-neutrality demonstrate a worldview \u200cthat places \u2062all power and personal allegiance in the hands of \u2062employers. Of course, \u2064there is wisdom in avoiding individuals who demonstrate a lack of restraint or courtesy in their manner of expression. But telling people that their employment is\u2062 purchased \u2062with a\u2062 lifestyle of silence is an elevation of employer to\u2063 magistrate \u2064and priest. It turns employees into \u200dquieted servants \u200cand enables \u2064a soft \u2062social credit system that reduces human beings to machines.\u200b Such thinking is \u2064among the reasons my transition is focused on finding a mission rather \u200cthan a corporate role.<\/p>\n<p>The Greek general and politician Pericles\u200c is quoted as saying, \u201cWe do not\u200b say that a man \u200cwho takes\u2064 no interest in politics is a man \u200bwho minds his\u2064 own affairs; we say that he \u200bhas no business here at all.\u201d The problem is not so much that managers have\u200d an aversion to politics.\u200d It is that secularists generally have an aversion to ideas that contradict the prevailing\u200d winds of culture. They live convinced that policy\u2062 advocacy \u200con matters in\u2063 alignment with their belief is not a matter of politics\u200b but of \u200dprinciple. \u2064The two, however, are inseparable. When one tells you to keep your principles to yourself, \u200bthat itself is an ideological competitor\u2019s political act of\u2063 silencing\u200d you.<\/p>\n<p>Beliefs turn into\u200b expressed ideas, which beget social \u200ddoctrines.\u200d The First \u2063Amendment is of little meaning \u200bif we make it inferior to social demands of the moment. As \u200da\u2063 nation, we should beware of allowing\u2063 momentary fears to become anchored going forward, \u2062and we should refuse to cede moral principles to satisfy the increasingly leftist human resources syndicate.  <\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-e42e9733d2b1a3135ab39c4328ba6ad0 fdrlst__b89e9-after-post-content\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-e42e9733d2b1a3135ab39c4328ba6ad0\"><\/div>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The past year focused on my transition from military to civilian life.
