"My successes are my own, but my failures are due to extremist leftist liberals" - Party of Personal Responsibility
Prediction for the future
Instead of what's now: embedded company with a virtual monopoly that influences social-economic and policies arround the world because of it's dominant position on the internet, employing "token" spots to fringe demographics (example: half black, half asian transgender midget with a brownie fetish) to up the "progressive" game to an extent it looks more like a circus than a corporate enviroment.
Oh, is that how the alt-right describes a company of upright, fair and inclusive practices with quality products and services now? You guys are weird.
Although in hindsight, I guess the alt-right must be really mad about not given a platform to say whatever alternative anti-social rubbish they wanted, what a travesty and miscarriage of justice there.

When you prevent people from speaking their opinion, no matter how stupid, you prevent yourself from being exposed to it and eventually you won't understand what is stupid and what isn't.
Free speech is important because it gives us something to calibrate against. If you suppressed everyone you think to have "alternative anti-social rubbish" then eventually you would say something that they would agree with, but not realise that it's bad because you've got no dissenting opinions before that to measure against.
Average capitalist Joe enforcing selective Marxist principles in the name of team work and a placid working force, what's new.
In a true Marxist environment of self-determination the following conditions are true...
Cost of living = Free
Cost of stay = Free
Cost of breaking contract= Free, you'll just be moved else-wear
Google isn't Marxist, they are an extortionist dictatorship. Your morals are different? Back in the ocean.
Really simple concept here folks.
Being white, black, asian, middle eastern, gay, straight, bisexual, transgendered, all of those are something people are born with. It's something that cannot change, or to change it go through incredible lengths to do so. There is little "choice" in this. People are what they are, and you can't discriminate against a passive trait that someone inherently has.
However, being an ASSHOLE is a choice. And companies can absolutely choose to fire people for the choices they make in life, especially in the work place.

I guess certain people have a hard time understanding that just because a company is hiring a diverse crew doesn't mean they're not hiring white/straight/males.
Know a guy from WoW long time ago who went on a rant about how some company chose another applicant over him simply because she was a black woman, and believed himself to be superior in every way and he should have gotten it.
I asked him about how his interview went, and it gradually became clear that despite his credentials, he acted like a stuck up prick in his interview. I guess sometimes people forget that your interview is almost always more important than your resume, and entitled assholes with a superiority complex are easy to spot from a mile away.
2014 Gamergate: "If you want games without hyper sexualized female characters and representation, then learn to code!"
2023: "What's with all these massively successful games with ugly (realistic) women? How could this have happened?!"
Considering women in Switzerland only achieved the right to vote in national elections in 1971, I think sexism and gender stereotypes may still be a factor.

And reality is the thing that doesn't go away when you close your eyes, so why is it that you will accept that list of things as unchangeable, yet you still insist that you can change reality if you close your eyes hard enough?
The guy didn't write some insane rant, he made an argument based upon rational thought supported by citations. Here I will link the Jordan Peterson interview again, under the video Peterson posted a whole list of links to the citations backing up the arguments made by Damore. I suggest watching it on youtube and investigating the sources yourself if you don't trust the people on this thread who have said this.
Most people would rather die than think, and most people do. -Bertrand Russell
Before the camps, I regarded the existence of nationality as something that shouldn’t be noticed - nationality did not really exist, only humanity. But in the camps one learns: if you belong to a successful nation you are protected and you survive. If you are part of universal humanity - too bad for you -Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
You can't have nice things because of smart-asses like these...
"Transexual programmer, knows C++, Java, BDSM." - Average bio from some of the more 'liberated' Google programmers.
Why are they listing their sexual preferences next to their technical skills if they don't really want me to fuck them while briefing them of their task? That is one lousy programmer. It's nothing funny, it's a provocative and immature trend from people with terrible social skills who refuse to grow-up just slightly.
