Google Lead Designer Attacks GOP, Conservatives, Christians Over Kavanaugh Vote
Western Journalism ^ | 10/09/2018 | Benjamin Arie

Does big tech have a political bias problem? Companies like Facebook and Google have sworn up and down that they’re apolitical … but a growing amount of evidence is raising hard questions about the corporate culture within these brands.

On Saturday, one of Google’s top people single-handedly brought those questions to the surface again. After Brett Kavanaugh was confirmed as the next Supreme Court justice, the tech company’s design lead went on a hateful rant on Twitter.

“You are finished, @GOP,” posted Dave Hogue, whose bio states that he holds a design lead position at Google. “You polished the final nail for your own coffins.”

“F–K. YOU. ALL. TO. HELL,” the unhinged Google leader continued, according to screenshots of his angry tweets captured by Jim Hoft.

He didn’t stop there. Hogue went even darker, calling Republicans “evil” and wishing conservatives to be burned.

“I hope the last images burned into your slimy, evil, treasonous retinas are millions of women laughing and clapping and celebrating as your souls descend into the flames,” he posted.

Honestly, I have a hard time wrapping my head around why this guy would be so worked up over Kavanaugh. Our new Supreme Court Justice seems to push a button with Hogue, but I don’t see the reason. I guess Hogue is just insane.

And shareholders are OK with this hate, violent rhetoric, and discrimination?

Dave Hogue looks like a pajama boy snowflake. He sure talks tough but I bet he is scared of his own shadow. Come on Dave, I’d like to see you talk this tough face to face with any Trump supporter, even a woman.

“I hope the last images burned into your slimy, evil, treasonous retinas are millions of women laughing and clapping and celebrating as your souls descend into the flames,” he posted.

It’s shocking to read - by their own admission - that a leftist believes there’s a hell with flames and all.

To borrow the unclever language of the Left, this fellow has demonstrated a lack of temperament necessary to be a lead designer. Impeach him.

“...but I don’t see the reason.”

It’s a simp mating signal.

I get the impression that many of these irrational idiots probably don’t actually care that much about the issue du jour. They have anger/frustration/unhappiness issues in their personal lives are going somewhere to vent them, i.e., at Trump, Kavanaugh, et al.

SO, which of our lovely FR ladies did Mr Hogue assault 30 years ago?

I don’t approve of character assassination, but since it is quite all right with some of these people, I almost wish it would start happening to them.

In contrast, just look at what happened to the other Google Engineer, James Damore, who was fired by Google after penning a memo criticizing the company’s diversity policy.

He published an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal explaining “Why I was fired by Google.”

EXCERPT:

My 10-page document set out what I considered a reasoned, well-researched, good-faith argument, but as I wrote, the viewpoint I was putting forward is generally suppressed at Google because of the company’s “ideological echo chamber.” My firing neatly confirms that point. How did Google, the company that hires the smartest people in the world, become so ideologically driven and intolerant of scientific debate and reasoned argument?

We all have moral preferences and beliefs about how the world is and should be. Having these views challenged can be painful, so we tend to avoid people with differing values and to associate with those who share our values. This self-segregation has become much more potent in recent decades. We are more mobile and can sort ourselves into different communities; we wait longer to find and choose just the right mate; and we spend much of our time in a digital world personalized to fit our views.

Google is a particularly intense echo chamber because it is in the middle of Silicon Valley and is so life-encompassing as a place to work. With free food, internal meme boards and weekly companywide meetings, Google becomes a huge part of its employees’ lives. Some even live on campus. For many, including myself, working at Google is a major part of their identity, almost like a cult with its own leaders and saints, all believed to righteously uphold the sacred motto of “Don’t be evil.”

Echo chambers maintain themselves by creating a shared spirit and keeping discussion confined within certain limits. As Noam Chomsky once observed, “The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum.”

But echo chambers also have to guard against dissent and opposition. Whether it’s in our homes, online or in our workplaces, a consensus is maintained by shaming people into conformity or excommunicating them if they persist in violating taboos. Public shaming serves not only to display the virtue of those doing the shaming but also warns others that the same punishment awaits them if they don’t conform.

___________________________________________________________

Read the whole thing for an intelligent assessment of the entire affair.

This is a case that should be studied by social scientists. The gap in understanding between what Damore wrote and how the left chose to interpret it is astonishing. I don’t think there’s any doubt that few on the left bothered to read the entire ten-page Damore memo. And if they did, they saw what they wanted to see, picking and choosing the parts that transgressed against the overpowering groupthink present in Google corporate culture.
