My perception is that this is symmetrical, both sides are treating each other like shit, because we are part of a system where betrayal and selfishness are considered a virtue.
You said "resist the tempation to turn this into a race. I ask you, if we can't expect ministers to resist this temptation for something as terrible as nuclear weapons, how do you expect the simple man to resist the temptation for something as simple as avoiding an annoying phone call?
The charm of 1984 is that the book is so generic and vague that anyone can use it to paint any social development he does not like as "becoming like 1984".
How come when a corporation treats a single person like shit it is "a standard part of free market" and when a single person treats a corporation like this it is "unprofessional"?
I know how tech works, and I know that algorithmically it is possible to design a map gadget that does not tell google where I live. Hell, even google maps works offline.
You always ask us to bother reading everything he wrote, to bother proof everything. Why don't you people do it for a change? Reminds me of religious people who insist that "you should just read enough bible and then you'll see we're right".
Sorry, but you guys are just not worth the effort. I think it's dumb to make such a fuss of what James Damore wrote, I don't think he is the pure evil that SJWs make him out to be. However, I also don't think he's worth reading.
Judgement day and Watchmen I can understand, but who the hell would consider Dark Knight Returns SJW? It's clearly right wing, somewhere between facist (might and right style, not statism style) and libertarianism.
Historically, DC had a few good one shots, take Fables for example. The trick is either to look at their Vertigo label, or to make sure you are following specific writers (although that doesn't always work, due to management).
In manga and in one shots, there's a pretty stable continuity, exactly because they make sure to keep it contained instead of creating infinite sequels. Not all comics is crappy superheroes.
There are actually a few good comics for adults. I would recommend checking stuff like '20th century boys' or 'Über' or Grant Morrison's 'Doom patrol' or Gail Simone's 'Secret Six'.
Most superhero comics are just brand based crap. Superman or Batman change almost completely from writer to writer, their adventures often contradicting each other. The only reason that they are written to begin with is because of the stupid robotic nerds who buy anything with the right brand on it.
When James damore rebels against Google because of his right wing beliefs, you all applaud him. When someone rebels in a way that doesn't align with the right, you cry.
There is some similarity, but instead of a world war between states, it becomes a conflict between humans (some of which are legally enhanced) and mutants.
If by harassment you mean friends of these people telling them "what you are doing is wrong", then I am all for it. Also, I really don't understand what is the problem here. These people put something publicly online in social media, and now they are complaining that somebody remembers what they wrote?

Translation: you are looking for slaves.

Your copyright law and patents are still much worse than Europe's.

It's amazing how you can get people to love slavery.
Most people can't be creators, society needs more fixers than creators.
1. Hire "A" players, because the competence of one's coworkers is a large contributor to employee satisfaction.
By definition, most players will NOT be "A" players.
You sound like vegans. Sorry, but I just don't care about the drama of sex frustrated feminists and mgtows.
Why do people here insist on bringing up the SJW-altright in every article?

You snitch people to the government.
In capitalist America, you snitch people to the corporations.

Given enough time, unrestrained capitalism ends with oligopoly
It amazes how they managed to brainwash young libertarians so that they will enjoy slavery.
People should be responsible and never be sick.

And yet at the same time, we are brainwashed that the "free market picks what is the best for everyone".
