    You have not earned the right to be heard in this context.

    You have not earned the right to direct the attention of others.

    You have violated the sacred trust placed in you by your employer by exploiting your access to a public-facing employer event.

    If you cannot control your thymotic impulses where you earn your food and shelter, then you cannot be trusted again.

    You must accept the consequences of your moral convictions.

    This is dharmic justice.

    He disrupted his CEOs keynote with political bullshit. Of course he should be fired. Regardless of the topic
