HOW A CIVIL RIGHTS ISSUE CAN LEAD TO A CIVIL WAR ISSUE

A Christian worker was fired on the spot for wearing a a necklace.

Sounds to me like it's a H&S issue.

Would he be allowed in to the factory wearing Rangers FC stripes? Or Azov chevrons?
This comes back to my human rights and freedom of expression, at the risk of offending someone not sharing my beliefs or values.

It's a typical problem of advanced liberal democracies with over-extended diversity.  When things go wrong economically, there are social and political consequences that the Rule of Law and equity cannot always resolve to everyone's satisfaction.

And you get low-level civil war.
