Reports: Google Fires Another Conservative Employee Who Spoke Out Against Company's Bias
Townhall ^ | Jun 06, 2019 | Guy Benson

Posted on 06/06/2019 2:19:53 PM PDT by detective

John Wacker is a right-leaning Google employee who recently wrote an open letter describing an ideologically insular, intolerant and retaliatory culture within the tech and information behemoth. Writing at Medium, Wacker exposes what he calls "outrage mobs" and "witch hunts," describing concerted and targeted efforts by leftist employees to get the company to freeze out or sever ties with right-leaning events and individuals. He describes the internal and external credibility crises Google faces, concluding that a vocal element of his colleagues are seeking to control who is permitted to work at the company as a means of ultimately controlling the broader public's access to information (emphasis mine):

These outrage mobs and witch hunts don’t just target outsiders like CPAC and [Heritage Foundation president] Kay Coles James. They also target insiders and Google’s own employees. But whether the target is external or internal, the goal of these outrage mobs and witch hunts is the same: to control who belongs at Google. More importantly, if you can control who belongs at Google, then you can also control what content belongs on Google. If the people who work at Google — or who feel psychologically safe expressing their opinions at Google — are only the ones who think that CPAC and Kay Coles Jame are hateful, then don’t be surprised if, one day in the future, hate speech is used as a pretext to censor CPAC or Kay Coles James and remove their content from Google’s platforms.

Leftists at Google weaponize HR complaints in order to shut down opposing viewpoints, chronicling a number of right-leaning statements or comments that were formally reported, prompting action. This included one employee's defense of author Jordan Peterson's opposition to government enforcement of pronoun-related language, and another's criticism of the Women's March over its anti-Semitism problem and lack of inclusivity toward pro-life women. Meanwhile, Wacker writes, left-wing employees routinely engage in hateful, incendiary and bullying language with impunity

Romans 1:28

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind...

What do we know about someone who possesses a reprobate mind? We know from Romans 1:28 that the people under discussion did not like to retain the Lord in their knowledge. They are godless and wicked people who suppress the truth by their wickedness (Romans 1:18). As a result, he gave them over to this reprobate and virtually worthless state of reasoning.

Just thought Y’all might be interested in the Bibles description oj the liberal mind.

Maybe Google employees should unionize and demand to have worker protections. Make all of Silicon Valley unionize. Have them demand closed shops with no H1B visaholders allowed.

So as usual, the Stupid Party is missing a trick here.

Google has enormous government contracts, and currently uses Moffet Federal Airfield as their own private airport by use of a sham ‘science’ contract which supposedly employs their executive jets as research aircraft.

It’s to laugh.

The civil rights laws first and foremost apply to federal contractors; it’s quite obvious that Google is retaliating against white males with conservative viewpoints. This should result in EVERY federal contract being suspended pending an investigation. You can be sure that if the race and political orientations were reversed and the Obama administration was still in power then that is exactly what would have happened.

“Make all of Silicon Valley unionize”

Isn’t it absurd?

The core of the Rat party has always been the unions. But the so called social justice warriors of the silicon slum will fight tooth and nail to prevent ANY union from organizing their businesses.

It’s all for show as they preen themselves on the way to their multi-million dollar mansions in the hills above Cupertino and Woodside.

It is very possible that if the company was unionized, that employee would not have been fired.

This is the same process of political vetting and eliminating opposition that the Left used to gradually gain control of journalism and academia.

It is an fundamental strategy, advocated by Italian Communist strategist Antonio Gramsci - the decades long march through the institutions.

They sold out the working class decades ago. Bill Clinton finished that transition into a Neoliberal Globalist party that gets more money from Wall Street and oligarchs than the GOP because they saw the future was in race baiting and Anti-White identity politics.

That it is. But what he should have said was something like this: “Goggle discriminated against those who hold conservative views. We have less job security than left-wing employees, we are discriminated against when it is time for promotions, raises, and so forth. To protect all workers from managements’ biases we need to form a UNION!

Private company or not, he is covered by federal law if he calls for a union and then is fired.

Google’s workers are not unionized? What?

How can this leftist, Democrat-supporting, SJW-filled company possibly NOT be unionized??
