It was a passive aggressive move of microaggression by a Leftist to place those tracts in the lounge.
It was a MACRO aggression to accost him, threaten him, give him a chance to recant and save himself, then fire him.
It is so ironic that the same people who get their panties all twisted up over a trivial, minuscule perceived affront aren’t afraid to roll out the big cannon and obliterate their enemies with MACROAGGRESSIONS. Their responses are always like Hitler “annexing” the Sudetenland.
