his neutrality is why we like him and you know it 😝
There was an entire organization behind him.
This is not a mistake on their part. It's not a case of them being stupid or ignorant or misinformed. They know that James Damore is basically no one on youtube. They don't care. It's a scary name to lefties and they can draw lines from other names to him. That's all that matters.
And that next organization is probably going to be Data and Society.
It's also a scary name to Google.
It's just about power. Not truth, not genuinely caring about extremism.
Just power.
Who is who they really want to pressure.
everyone really. people fell for the damore = misogynist bigot meme
It's not science, it's not journalism, it's not public service. It's simply a power play and you're on their hit list for a reason.
Along with a whole number of other people.
And distancing yourself is only delaying the inevitable.
They don't care about your denials or disavowals.
There are people to distance from, but at some level, you should atleast be talking with Rogan and Rubin.
And seriously looking into options.

They've played this game at the Universities for deacades.
It works. Don't underestimate it.
You should be looking at that list and asking yourself who you're willing to work with and how you can collaborate MORE not less.
And don't play into their hands.
But looking into legal options (a la Prager), and trying to push people to start really fighting back would be a good step.
Hang together or surely you will hang separately.
Collectivism versus individualism be damned. Sometimes you have to fight a common threat.
Individuals banding together isn't collectivism. Where did this meme come from?
Some of the discussions I get here make me wonder.
But I'll leave it there.
But the idea of "common threat" can easily be tossed out by someone just to get you to help them defeat their enemy.
Here we go again...
I think the threat is pretty obvious in this case. Let's not go fighting over abstract nonsense that just distracts from the core issue.
Hold to individualist principles, fight as a group. Not complicated
Easiest thing to rally around is free speech.
Well I think there's something to be said for false targets
People make shit up on the 'net
False targets are for the birds.
I'm just saying that we saw how that "common threat" worked out during WWII.
What have they ever done for us?
And here's where it begins "where did this meme come from"
I'm out.
Fuck you, false targets. Go back where you came from.
Scrib I have a hard time differentiating your thought process from that of the average angry Marxist sometimes
