Google Employee Makes a Reasonable Argument and The Left Loses It’s Collective Mind

James Damore, if you know his name he is likely either a political hero or is what is wrong with society. If you don’t know him let me fill you in on why you should. Damore was a software engineer at a little operation you might know, Google. He wrote and distributed an internal memo titled “Google’s Idealogical Echo Chamber”. The memo is a 10 page document condemning some of Google’s forced diversity practices. Damore has since been fired from his position at Google and is considering legal action against his former employer. After reading the document it occurred to me that it is rather moderate. He is a self proclaimed classical liberal and all of his ideas are that of a classical liberal (or a moderate in todays terms). Judging from his writing, I believe it is safe to say he is an evolutionist who believes in global warming but who has the “radical” idea that men and women are different. The backlash he has received from this reasonable memo is astonishing to say the least. These are some actual headlines from mainstream news sources.
- NBC: “Google Employee’s Anti-Diversity Manifesto on Women’s ‘Neuroticism’ Goes Viral”
- CNBC: “Women are neurotic, diversity efforts are ‘bad for business’ and 10 other shocking quotes from the viral Google manifesto”
- Salon: “Google employee’s viral anti-diversity manifesto confirms your worst fears about tech-bro culture”
- New York Post: “Google fires employee who wrote manifesto blasting women in tech”
- Shockingly the most reasonable article comes from a CNN opinion piece: “Randazza: Outrage over Google memo goes too far”
Some sources have even been editing the document and removing diagrams and thumbnails. Basically they are taking the evidence from his arguments so they seem weak and baseless. This is even more evidence that the political left is so far off the reservation they will attack anyone who doesn’t subscribe to their entire belief system. Moderate liberals or classical liberals have no place in the modern Democratic Party and have no place in leftist havens such as Silicon Valley or college campuses.
I encourage you read the memo yourself and judge whether it is reasonable or extreme and comment what you think.
