Well in Gina case I would tweak Vader's advice and say keep all your opinions to yourself. Or better yet get rid of social media. Opinions are bad for business.
But for society at large keep speaking up. Be critical of everything and say stupid shit. At the very least I would provide some entertainment
If you believe stupid shit like the virus is a hoax, don't wear masks it's a political reason why they make you, try to tell others how to feel about being transgender, yeah keep it to yourself. Being ignorant doesn't grant you a free pass to say dumb sometimes hurtful shit. As for the firing, Disney is a private company with a huge public image to uphold, you better believe that what you say in public will come back to hurt you if it hurts the Disney image. That's part of business and she should be aware of that.
I can't 😠the hospital called and told me to keep with the new antibiotics. But I took another one and I'm in tears, stomach cramps and vomiting into a bag. Fuck it I'd rather die.

I dunno about that. If that were true, companies like Disney would have an incentive to have PR people vet their employees' social media at the minimum. Gina's antics and Disney's response is, all in all, pretty good publicity for everyone involved (depending on how Gina ends up making use of it).

As they are, so it's all good.
Don't most competent celebrities and sport stars have PR people for these kind of things? It makes shit boring with standard answers engineered to be as safe and non controversial as possible.
And seeing as the press runs on controversies and hit pieces I can't blame them.

But there lies the problem. Ignorant people are unaware of their own ignorance. True wisdom is the realisation that you know nothing. That is why smart people are always doubting themselves, while stupid people are confident.
Saying she should not share her stupid opinions does not make any sense. Because according to her point of view her opinions are logical and our opinions are stupid.
Besides we all might have areas we are ignorant about, so having some humility might be a good idea! Unless you are me, because I am perfect.

Absolutely, but it depends on the industry. In entertainment compared to sports, there's definitely slightly more freedom of expression because controversy is better marketing for art than it is, say, for football*, and you also need publicity between each iteration of IP more than you do between each season of football or what have you.
*One may argue this point, but that's how it seems to be seen in marketing circles.

If only could be as enlightened as you, it would be paradise lol.
I understand the issue with the ignorant or the misinformation. This past year in America has brought out the worst in people and it's nearly impossible that you live here and don't encounter multiple people who believe blatant lies and conspiracy theories. I don't know how to combat that except try to keep showing the science, the evidence and having the internet in general try to stop the spread of those false ideas. Still this is mostly a PR issue and she knew what she was doing. I have no sympathy for her.
The past year has been coming for decades (pre-social media, in fact). And you can't combat false information with facts when you're dealing with a politics of cynicism. The only people who are interested in even paying lip service to long term problems are pantomime characters like Trump, or politically impossible candidates like Sanders (who, essentially, is also a pantomime character).

This is what I'm talking about. No one is willing to take long term issues seriously. The 13.8 billion figure is from 2015, so it's actually 13.8 billion and five years.
To give my 2 cents: opinions are important, but unless you're in a business that can really have an effect on how things turn out (politics for example) it's best to keep them to yourself when in public. With how fractured reality is these days, thanks to the rise of myriads of political parties and how the internet is engineered to echo everyone's own convictions and thus strengthen the idea that one's own idea's are the only truth, you're always going to alienate more people than you'll find agreeing with you.
As for Foolz' bringing in the lack of long term thinking: it's not baked into our nature. Never before in humanity's history did we need to keep the bigger picture in mind like we need to do today. It's too new as a phenomenom for us as a species to be ready for it. Add in to this that the democratic system does not reward planning for the long term, and that as a species we are too self centered and divided for the West to really care if Africa becomes even less hospitable. I'm not surprised we're failing horribly.
