James Damore Suing Google, do you think he has a case?

[Zython]

No, he doesn't have a case. Political ideology isn't a protected class. Furthermore, people are legally allowed to not like you; and the fact that he feels the need to get the government to force people to tolerate his existence is beyond pathetic.

[PC2]

I posted an Online test like everybody else, that says as much, I guess if you put that much stock in online polls determining ideology, I am a communist. I don't consider myself a communist, or a socialist. Socialist on some things, but not on most.

I am a reluctant capitalist, that isn't the same as saying I am for Communism, it isn't an either or thing.


Oh and Communism has been dead for a better part of 30 years or more.

They are mutually exclusive for the given region. The means of production can't simultaneously be all public and private.

[Mormolyce]

It blows my mind that someone can circulate a ten page memo that makes his employer look bad and then expect to keep his job.

I mean, holy fuck.

I really, really doubt he did.

This has smacked of a deliberate political ploy from the beginning.

Well I think socialism works in some instances, like national defence as an example.


I do believe a person should work for better, but I do believe all should be "entitled to live" Clean Water, Food, Clothes, Shelter and Medicine. Everything else you have to contribute.

And those that do work shouldn't be a slave to just trying to enjoy life. However if one wants more then they have to produce more and yes, I am ok with obscene wealth, provided it isn't unchecked and results in resources everyone needs being controlled by a few.


So yes there should be caps on wealth as well, unless it is a business or company, something where a body is at work no a single individual.

If random people that are put in Supervisor or Manager positions cant make a simple decision like hire the best with no regards to race or gender etx.
Then they should have never been made a hiring manager.

yeah, too bad we dont live in a dream world

That's not communism. That's taxing private production in a capitalist system.

[Doctor Amadeus]

That's not communism. That's taxing profits from private production in a capitalist system.

Stealing whatever some want to call it, yes, YES! I am Ok with that, I am totally ok with that, I am also ok with anyone who doesn't want to pay taxes moving to countries where they have to hire armed private security guards for their wives and children. When they have no problem sucking off the misery of countries that will do the same jobs they left the U.S for, only for a cup a bag of rice.

Yeah there should be no soil on earth anyone can get away with that.

The court of law is public. What you are quoting is a lawsuit. However, you still can't enforce an NDA against a court document afaik.

I agree but he leaked other documents to the media that is a violation of the NDA.

[I Push Buttons]

I agree but he leaked other documents to the media that is a violation of the NDA.

Depends on if the court finds in his favor and what is in the documents.

If the court finds that Google does (or did) discriminate and the documents are evidence of that, he would probably be protected.

[helebelemon]

Memo was fine. After getting fired, he acted like a whiny little kid thinking that the world is out to get him. Now, his lawsuit seems to infer that he's bought even more into this waaah, white conservative men can't get a break in life attitude.

Put those big boy pants on and shut the fuck up about politics at work. You're not paid to be a politician.

[Fitheach]

That hateful bigoted trash deserves only jail for defaming Google.

[Krawu]

"white males with conservative leaning political views" can actually mean one of two things:

- it either means "white males with conservative leaning political views"
- or it's a white supremacist/nationalist describing himself to others

I have no idea which one applies here.
It's true that the ice has become thinner and thinner for conservatives online except in some echo chambers, but I highly doubt he has a case for systemic discrimination against conservatives. But having certain political views does not entitle you to sympathy or adoration by those with a different political opinions, not even in the workplace.
If there's a lot of employees with liberal and left-leaning views at Google, it's probably because there are more of them with the required skills on the job market.

By this logic, I would say a lot of people don't think black lives matter. It is almost like the context matters.

Context does matter, and if there were just signs around saying Black Lives Matter, people wouldn't be opposed to it.

[rda]

Put those big boy pants on and shut the fuck up about politics at work.

Frankly, you should tell that to Google, not to the guy who got fired because of it. If you didn't know, that memo was feedback for the "diversity training". It's Google pushing politics into the workplace, not the other way around.

[Moralgy]

I'm glad you understand context does matter regarding BLM, now take a look at your example you previously posted.

Read what I said and think about why those 2 examples don't line up. It's right in your quote.

I mean, I don't see you really seeing context regarding anything but BLM since you posted

We actually have tons of people who have power saying it's racist to post signs saying "It's okay to be white." So doesn't seem all that far-fetched to me.

And have yet to retract this statement. The two are comparable almost entirely. Opposing trolls and actual white supremacists posting those signs does not mean you oppose the message. Just as opposing the BLM movement doesn't mean you oppose the idea that "black lives matter". Context matters, and your previous post seems to be void of understanding that, but when it came to BLM you instantly got that context matters.

One is random people (you don't know who they are) posting pieces of paper saying it's okay to be white. BLM well, I hope you know the shit BLM has done and aren't just arguing in ignorance.

We kinda do know who was posting those given the internet exists. If that sign was in a vacuum it would be fine, but context... matters... As for BLM, you are barking up the wrong tree if you think I support that shit these days.

Idk if you are "feigning ignorance" regarding your little slogan you want to defend or really just that uninformed and eating up talking points.

[Deletedaccount1]

This thread is such a shit show. I'm not a mod but I think qualifies as a race thread.
