Nazi sympathizer profiled in New York Times loses job

A lawyer can explain the first sentence to you.
The first sentence is No. I understand each sentence by itself. I also understand they have no relevance whatsoever. Put them together and add in the irrelevance, and you get babble.

Do you understand what is meant by .. it is conduct by the person not generally perception of the person that is incriminating?

It means you are babbling again.

This illustrates further that something understood is not defined as babble.

It can't babble by definition if you said you understood each sentence.
You are wrong.

For example, do you understand the following sentences?
The ball is red. Some people like chocolate ice cream. Astrology is not a science.


Now, imagine a post of

"Nope. Try #121 where you handwaved off the possibility of a Nazi traumatizing either a Holocaust survivor or the family of a holocaust victim and injected one of your favorite bogeymen - communists - to deflect from the actual content.

It is truly fascinating your willingness to minimize Nazis while trying to infect people with your abnormal fear of communists and Antifas. " with the response of

Re 121 I said it is conduct by the person not generally perception of the person that is incriminating?

Without good reason the perceived possibility in itself is not rationally sufficient to take action against anyone. The chocolate ice cream scenario does not relate.

No it doesn't. If the words are without meaning then they might be not understood, but on the other hand if they are irrational, then they can be understood. Likewise, if they are foolish, they can be understood, but if they are incoherent, they might not be.

The etymology is irrelevant. Are you babbling?

Nonsense. It is rational to take precautionary measures against potential dangers or threats.

Quoting from a dictionary cannot be babbling.

Sentence 2 is true, hence better to apply when recruiting staff.

Where you have staff working for an employer there must be a valid reason based not solely the person's politics is repulsive.

That is your opinion. In the USA, your opinion is not law. And it is rational to let go an employee who may potentially reduce earnings or productivity.

Of course it can - if the quotation is completely irrelevant.

I didn't say it applied to US laws. A good manager wouldn't fire someone without cause and does so without political bias.

Irrelevant is not babble. Etymology can give extra depth to the understanding of words.
 
A good manager wouldn't fire someone without cause and does so without political bias.

Reducing risk to your business, workers, and customers in total is not political bias. It is an apolitical, objective decision, like not hiring someone who in an interview says he likes to kill other co-workers or is a serial killer. One objectively ought not hire a Nazi and two Nazi collaborators at a small business to prepare and serve food to a public that includes Jews, blacks, Hispanics, and other minorities. If you also managed a Jewish Community Center, you ought not hire ISIS members either who have said they want to kill all the Jews. If you work at a Muslim center as a hiring manager, you ought not hire an extremist who says he wants to kill all the Muslims. Also, you shouldn't hire someone to work in a restaurant making food for white people who says he wants to kill all white people. If you own a daycare center, you ought not hire a pedophile to work closely with the children unsupervised. If you work in a mortuary as a hiring manager, you ought not hire a necrophiliac. It is not a political bias, but simply rational decisions based on risk of various outcomes and whether you want to eliminate or mitigate those risks.
