When SJH brigades first began to push the "Code of Conduct" requirement, most people suspected the purpose was to silence dissent and punish heretics. Now Google has very publicly demonstrated those suspicions were correct.
That's because nearly all feminists come from the upper classes, from families with objective financial and social privilege. Therefore it's necessary for them to redefine "privilege". That the oppressors of the working people may claim to be oppressed by their own victims.
Funny thing.... There are quite a few self identified neo-reactionaries writing on the internet today. These people are openly and unashamedly sympathetic to the historical Nazis and big-F Fascists.
Yet if you look at the comments on their blogs, you'll find few or no angry denuciations and accusations of Nazism from the SJH virtue police.
Rather, such foaming at the mouth denuciations are reserved for moderate Trump supporters and classical pro-freedom liberals. Odd, isn't it?
You couldn't possibly pay me enough to work in a hostile, toxic, bigoted environment like Google. Management has made it very clear they would discriminate against me on the basis of race, sex, and creed. Not too mention the company's overtly evil contributions to the surveillance state.
Their recruiters call every few weeks and I just ignore them.
Damn straight - workers have no rights! Especially not the right to freedom of speech and freedom of conscience. Get back to work you filthy serfs! What do you think this is, some sort of "democracy"? This is a business - it's Capitalism, there's no room for you precious "freedom" here.
Free speech means you have the right to say what you want. It doesn't mean anyone has to listen to you. It doesn't mean they can't think you're an asshole for saying it. It doesn't mean there won't be consequences.
Of course we have free speech in Socjustistan! Anyone is free to criticize the Emperor, any way they like. Of course they'll be shot afterwards.
What the fuck do these vile SJHs (Social "Justice" Hypocrites) have to do with communism? Nearly all of them come from inherited wealth - and from what I've seen, nearly all of them strongly oppose seizure of the means of production by the working people. They're the goddamned reactionary vanguard of Financialism.
The pro-war shills are out in force today! One of the alphabet soup agencies must have signed a new contract for domestic disinformation propaganda.
I wonder which information warfare mercenary company is running this sordid operation? I don't doubt it's "lawful", so we can't call them traitors or criminals. But it sure as fuck is unamerican.
A message to the footsoldiers of this 50 Cent Army: blow the whistle! Let the public know how domestic media are being targeted by MIC contractors. Sunlight is a great disinfectant. Americans deserve to know the truth!
It is rather striking how the self-described "left" faction has become openly pro-war, and unashamed apologists for financial capitalism and systemic inequality.
Absolutely. A friend of mine changed jobs from laboratory data manager to stripper/escort, because the pay was about 10x higher. In some ways she was happy with it, in other ways it made her quite depressed. But it was certainly a voluntary choice.
If you were earning $500/mo in the States, you would NOT have a house of your own and plenty of food. You would be living in a cardboard box under a bridge and eating out of dumpsters. Get real, broham.
As real average wages (adjusted for cost of living) continue to drop, and the last of the independent consultants are starved out, maybe we programmers can finally grow up, stop acting like man-children, and show some solidarity.
Or maybe we'll become like immediate post-USSR Russia. A huge pool of highly skilled programmers, with near zero job prospects. Nany of whom will turn to illicit activity.

Workers have no rights! Down with freedom of speech and freedom of conscience! Now get to work, you filthy miserable serf. Fuck you prole, that's why.
Self described "progressives" sure do love the worst aspects of capitalism.
Contemporary "Progressives" sure do love vicious capitalism.

Down with freedom of speech! Workers have no rights! 'Cuz it's DUH LAW!!!!1!!

Of course, the "sunshine law" doesn't apply to members of the juridicial tyranny and their enforcer goons. Surprise, surprise.

Indeed. A better question is, "Do I have any apps that are not phoning home?"

Why be worried? We've had a full-on police state for over a decade. Not like this makes our current tyranny any more tyrannical than it already was.
Baizou sure do love the thought of torturing prisoners with forced sodomy. Tells you a lot about their character.
The silver lining: history suggests that police states often end up devouring their own biggest proponents.
In USSA everything is illegal and everyone is guilty. So of course it's a crime. Duhhh.
I'm way less concerned about the Chicoms watching everything I do, compared to fedgov watching.
Moral of the story: you have no rights, you lose. Fuck you, pleb, that's why.
Because the kangaroo court system has NEVER rendered blatantly unjust verdicts before...
The government is not a monolith. There are still good men, honorable Americans, inside the government - even within the CIA.

Indeed we live in interesting times.
Freedom is obsolete - big brother is always watching. But we've all known this for more than a decade, right?

Your situation is atypical.
