Liberals cant take opinion different from their own?
Depends on an opinion. There are opinions that are (or should be) unacceptable by a decent human being, regardless of political views.
James Baldwin. “We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist.”
Why don't these guys form their own Google?
I am a democrat but this is not how we start a healthy discussion. Tech itself does not have a political belief, imo. People are simply interested at Google because of high TC and interesting technical problems to solve. It is unfortunate that he got fired, however, I doubt that Google fired him due to his political belief. He messed up some remote access or some technical failures. My hypothesis is that young left-leaning engineers are more open-minded to more crazy progressive ideas hence more innovative.
These guys aren't interested in a healthy discussion, just identity politics and victimhood complexes. So I treat them with irreverence.
They discriminate against badly posted URL’s
That's on amp
I doubt it. Young people tends to be more open-minded to new ideas. And many left-leaning people are among young population.
I remember when you didnt share your political beliefs with coworkers. You worked with them. It was a simpler time.
What are optical beliefs? Is that like when you can’t believe your eyes?
Auto corrected wrong. I fixed it
Your company should be minding their own business when it comes to your political, religious or social views unless you’re a vocal bigot in public forums (like LinkedIn) and making your company look bad. I don’t want any company trying to silence my God-given opinion, as so long as I’m not breaking the law and that goes for all sides.
This guy posted lots of very extreme stuff in forums open to all employees. As opposed to, I don't know... Doing actual work
Hopefully Google fires all the top posters to the not-work-related forums
The fact is, this dude is outspoken alt right and white nationalist. It's true that Google has too much tolerance for managers who say things like "I have a list of people I won't work with". Those managers should be fired. But this dude is an extremist. We should fire people like that. But we should ALSO fire the disruptive extremists on the Left. Leave your politics at home
“We”? You are part of the problem
Why? Because I don't want politics at work?
Ah, turns out he was a white nationalist who donated to known Nazi Richard Spencer. https://dailycaller.com/2019/08/05/google-engineer-posts-listservs-richard-spencer-golden-state-skinheads/ I have no interest in entertaining the opinions of people who believe other races are subhuman. If that's what conservatism is, fuck 'em. https://i.redd.it/bzv7mbmxty811.jpg
That not what conservatism is. GFY
At the time of writing this, I didn’t know any of the information about him being a total psycho. 😂
