Leaked Messages Show Google Employees Freaking Out Over Heritage Foundation Link
Breitbart ^ | 4-4-2019 | Allum Bokhari

Posted on 04/04/2019 7:51:29 PM PDT by blam

Internal discussion threads exclusively obtained by Breitbart News shows Google employees in meltdown over the tech giant’s decision to include the president of the conservative Heritage Foundation, Kay Coles James, on an artificial intelligence advisory council.

Multiple Google employees in the thread also engaged in outright smears against the Heritage Foundation. Google employees accused the think-tank of transphobia, homophobia, and “extremism,” of viewing LGBT people as “sub-human,” questioning their “humanity,” and supporting “exterminationist” views.

“Would we even consider having a virulent anti­-semite on the advisory board? How about an avowed racist or white supremacist?” asked one Google employee. “This seems like a double standard where anti­-LGTBQ positions are tolerated more than other extreme discriminatory views.”

“You don’t need racists, white supremacists, exterminationists on the board to know their stances. you can just talk to their targets” insisted another.

“It’s so upsetting that some of our leaders overlooked such hateful positions as Kay Cole James and the Heritage foundation have articulated and regularly advocate for,” complained another Google employee.

Another employee suggested that the “rhetorical violence” of the Heritage Foundation “translate[s] to real, material violence against trans people, particularly trans women of color.”

“There’s no need to have these people in positions of any kind of authority in order to get their views” wrote another.

Another Google employee was so incensed by the Heritage Foundation that he suggested another employee who defended the inclusion of Coles James on pragmatic grounds should lose his job.

“It’s not snobbery to object to associating with and legitimizing an organization dedicated to eliminating LGBTQ+ people from public life, driving them back into the closet, denying them healthcare, and so on,” raged the employee. “It’s basic human decency, treating it like a difference of opinion is simply monstrous and I don’t think it belongs...

It was mired in controversy from the start, with thousands of Google employees up in arms about the inclusion of Kay Coles James, president of right-wing think tank Heritage Foundation

The more tolerant they profess to be- the less tolerant they really are

Evil thinking its good. And looking at the good, and calling them evil.

Woe to them. I delight in the destruction of evil, not because it hurts the people, but because I desire God’s righteous judgment on those encouraging, advocating and promoting evil things as good and calling good things, evil.

So she is the racist, white supremist who caused all this uproar?

Cue the Schadenfreude.

And BTW, these jerks would never call Moslems “exterminationists”, would they?

It’s absolutely impossible to imagine how far off course America’s moral compass has become. Freedom without responsibility is chaos.

Google seriously needs to have a culture shakedown. The inmates are running the asylum over there and they need a serious injection of reality and sanity. This world is not ruled by whether someone bows to the all-superior lbgtxyzidgits. A world run by 22-34yo’ds IS NOT WORKING so Get rid of the mental freaks and get a whole lot of grandpas and grandmas in there.

Marxism and Leftism seems to only propagate in a Petri dish of mental illness. That mental illness seems to favor projection as a choice behavior. They talk of hate and extermination when the threat of those reside in themselves only. What is this incredible paranoia and hate for other human being acting in accordance with nature and striving for fulfillment?

They are full of fear. They fear suffering, which is inevitable. They fear judgement, which is also inevitable. They fear failure; inevitable. They hate those that have courage and overcome the suffering and challenges of life because it makes them feel small and helpless.

Marxism seizes on that insecurity and hatred of the successful. Marxism tells them they are not the cause of their suffering. No, it’s the successful that causes their suffering. Marxism is all too ready to appeal to a Leftist’s confirmation bias.

The big tech companies have grown so large, and control so much of the flow of information on this planet, they’re now defacto public utilities.

For the good of the people, they must be broken up via the antitrust laws.

The Googalistas probably were unaware she is African American. They live in a bubble and just assumed she was a whitey

Google is a racist company and must be pulled from the stock exchange.
