Since Blind-conservatives like posting about the “oppression of white males” in their male dominated industry, and citing the 2 or 3 people with lawsuits claiming this... “Google engineer says he was fired for fighting racism, sexism” https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/news/2018/02/21/google-engineer-says-he-fired-fighting-racism-sexism/361452002/ “Google human resources opened an investigation into his conduct, citing emails, memes and Google-Plus posts, including one in which he criticized Republicans for “affiliating with people carrying torches and yelling, ‘you will not replace us’” at the rally in Charlottesville, Va. Google HR also criticized an email in which he linked to a blog post claiming society teaches "white boys" to expect privilege, saying it could be perceived as a generalization of race and gender.” So maybe Google isn’t an organization designed to push social justice. Maybe it’s a profit driven tech company instead. Maybe it’s one that, along with the rest of the industry, promoted a “bro-culture” early on where it’s macho to work long hours for stretches like a 20-something dude with no children. Maybe now these companies worry that such glaring inequality and a bro-y reputation of kicking kids out of parks makes it hard for these companies to present themselves as local job creators worthy of tax-breaks in cities like SF or Seattle.
It all depends on what he wrote and the words he used. Even people defending social justice can’t insult or “bully” others. Violence (including verbal one) can’t be tolerated, regardless of who you’re attacking and what you’re defending. (And I’m writing this a liberal and sometimes a bit socialist)
I agree. My point was mostly that the people on blind who think Google has a “social justice agenda” have a warped sense of what’s going on.
If they cared that much about money, they wouldn't have planned blatantly illegal discrimination and documented it in writing. The people who sent emails saying don't hire any more wypipo weren't trying to save the company's ass, they just didn't think it'd come back to bite them.
Oh shut the hell up Johmy. You spent so much energy claiming that James Damore was a sexist alt-righter and now you are shocked that he wasn’t? You’re the same type of moron that criticized Steven Pinker when he said that the SJW movement is largely responsible for the alt-right growing in numbers. Pinker was labeled an alt-righter for that. Lol. Pinker is a lifelong progressive and democrat. Or Bret Weinstein, the leftist professor that was assaulted and forced to not come to work because he was white by a mob of angry SJWs. The only one doing any bullying are the SJWs. And everyday, more and more liberals are coming to this realization.
Nah. Just posting this to show the absurdity of. those championing Damore as the victim of some social-Justice crusade on the part of Google. It’s a company and “diversity” from the industry is just superficial attempts to not look like a bunch of entitled bros kicking kids off of playgrounds in the mission.
Why is he sending company emails with a political agenda, and links to “white privilege” blogs and stuff at all, though? Who is he sending it to? It’s possible this guy was just behaving inappropriately at scale, regardless of his views/political orientation.
What bullshit! Most likely Google itself does not know what it is doing. They just have some knee-jerk reactions to the events which media will pounce on.
