I'm trying to say that the correct way to think about is either A) all of these firings are bad or B) all of these firings are fine. There are no other options.

Yeah, no.

One thing is a company not wanting to be represented by a controversial statement of a public figure (because it would affect their business negatively), the other is the government suppressing dissent. It would be insane, or moronic, to think these two cases should be assessed equally.
