What the fuck is this shit?  At 1:00 he says, "when his message went viral among his fellow workers, workers who lived day after day under the boot of oppression..."

Are you FUCKING GODDAMN KIDDING ME?!  There's no doubt this guy was indeed a conservative snowflake because he's crying about how oppressed he is while working at goddamn Google.  Oh, boo-hoo, you can't anonymously write about how women on the whole aren't as good as men when it comes to engineering and now you're fired for undermining the company...that really sucks, bro. 

FullAutoGal, I thought you were a Libertarian.  Wouldn't the Libertarian view of this be that Google can run its company however it wishes?  Or would you say that Google should be beholden to a higher power when it comes to choosing what employees they want?  It seems quite clear to me the Libertarian view would be that Google can shitcan a low level engineer who made them look bad with a viral shitpost.  Do you think the government should step in and do something?

What a joke.

I thought the same thing when he said "boots of oppression" but technically it's correct. Just overly dramatic.

It's not the employees welfare that's concerning, it's the influence Google has and their authoritarian manner in hammering their leftist ideology that we should all be concerned about. That company is shaping our culture more than any other. Freedome of speech on Youtube is being gutted this year. They've already taken pretty extreme measures & there are more in the works that will effectively shutdown the ability for people who they don't agree with to gain momentum within Youtube. They're rigging the system. An this company controls not only what news most people access but the information highway itself. Alarm bells should be ringing.

exactly. it'd be fine if they were one of many, but they essentially have a complete monopoly and complete control over what video can be seen by who over most of the world.

they're a private company and can do what they like by law, but that doesn't stop their choices from being stupid or worth discussing, they do have an awful lot of users after all and a significant clout extending beyond their direct users.

Literally the first sentence of his memo.

"I value diversity and inclusion, am not denying that sexism exists, and don’t endorse using stereotypes."
 
He writes shortly thereafter.
 
"Psychological safety is built on mutual respect and acceptance, but unfortunately our culture of shaming and misrepresentation is disrespectful and unaccepting of anyone outside its echo chamber."
 
Damn, it sounds like he has you fucking pegged Grothesk.
 
"Despite what the public response seems to have been, I've gotten many†personal messages from fellow Googlers expressing their gratitude for bringing up these very important issues which they agree with but would never have the courage to say or defend because of our shaming culture and the possibility of being fired."
 
It would appear that their fears are well founded.
 
If you look at what he writes on page (7) you'll see that contrary to your ignorant claim, this man was not a "conservative snowflake".
 
He's as liberal as liberal can be, but he wasn't the loony type that denies basic biology.
 
Of course you wouldn't know any of what I just wrote because you get your news and opinions predigested and spoon fed to your ass.

Same thing happened to Bret Weinstein. Who would have thought these leftwing crazies with their fascist ideology would bring conservatives and genuine liberals together?

"Oh, boo-hoo, you can't anonymously write about how women on the whole aren't as good as men when it comes to engineering and now you're fired for undermining the company."

And this here is the evidence I need to PROVE beyond any shadow of a doubt that you never read what he actually wrote.  You simply took at face value the claims of far left nut bags who decided to throw a hissy fit and destroy a man for daring to write something contrary to the prevailing Marxist dogma.

He writes...

"I hope it’s clear that I'm not saying that diversity is bad, that Google or society is 100% fair, that we shouldn't try to correct for existing biases, or that minorities have the same experience of those in the majority. My larger point is that we have an intolerance for ideas and evidence that don’t fit a certain ideology.  ​ I’m also not saying that we should restrict people to certain gender roles; I’m advocating for quite the opposite: treat people as individuals, not as just another member of their group (tribalism)."

You are an ignorant stooge Grothesk.  Calling me Fullauto223GAL isn't going to make you any more intelligent or less ignorant.  Although it does expose you a fucking hypocrite since you are attempting to insult me by suggesting I am a woman, or responding like a woman.  But why should being a woman be insulting, unless that is we assume women are below men.

Congratulations, you just played yourself.

That was biting. You know what I think? I think Groth acts like just another one of these folded-in types shuffling along looking down at the ground one foot ahead but he actually can raise his head and see farther afield. I sometimes wonder if Groth has a close relationship with someone who is very leftwing and feels obligated to fight for their point of view because a man that intelligent cannot possibly believe half the things he writes here.
