More likely, you're from a rich family, did go to the right kind of schools, but lives in a carboard box a half block from Starbucks, and rides their wifi while waiting for a chance to use their bathroom to "shower".
I love reading guys like you, who make weak attempts at hiding behind a blade of grass and acting like no one can see you...
Ohhh, please instruct us about who is propaganda and who isn't, because, you're the font of wisdom in such matters.
Wow, your sig has "vetting" in it... Damn, I should be like, wow, super impressed by that.
You know what, why don't you write a book, do a book signing tour, and start a self help and "I can tell you what propaganda is and what isn't" program on over the air digital tv channels that comes on at 10 am every Tuesday.
Weak attempt at defending your hero Trump. Oh, but you used the word "socioeconomic", so were supposed to give you some kind of respect, like you're an editor for Breitbart.
Or would you like to live in an area where everyone chose to be childless and now that everyone's retired there's no staff for... well.. anything?
You are describing the Bay Area now.
Whenever I visit I am always amazed how few children there are, how most people you see, to the contrary of popular opinion, are Baby Boomers...
Who does all the "heavy lifting"?
Immigrants, thats who.
In addition, a large percentage of locally born Bay Area residents eventually leave for more affordable parts of California, or leave the state completely.
Are we to burn the constitution and abandon the ideals because they have because we judge them with today's standard?
Weak argument and you know it.
The statues that have been and continue to be removed are focused on the American Civil War, and the glorification of those who fought in the Confederacy, but you knew that...
Then you have to ask yourself, why are these statues offensive, and why do people want them removed?
Are you really that dense that you cannot understand why they are offensive?
Bottom line, Trump had better figure out how to act like a president if he wants to be president for another three years and five months.
The fascinating thing is that before his election, everyone was wondering if his OTT bluster and straight up idiotic antics were just a ruse to appeal to the dipshits in the country. Endless hours of cable news pundits discussing this topic had many in the US convinced that Trump was just "playing an idiot" to get elected...
Well, we've seen over and over and over again that indeed, he actually is a fucking idiot, and that the honeymoon is most definitely over.
Trump has so completely driven off the cliff, no parachute will save him now.
I've listened to that podcast. Great stuff!
And yes, the parallels to our current time are very apparent.
If there was one thing you could really point to, to show where the break with previous American "integrity" in politics, it would be the 2010 Supreme Court decision in the Citizens United case. No other event in American history has so completely changed the political landscape. Now a tidal wave of dark money flows unchecked, creating discord, rampant cronyism and an acidic eating away at the underpinnings of American Democracy.
I wonder how many of the right wing nuts posting in this forum about how Damores evidence about gender is science based and backed up by studies, etc, then turn around and argue that climate change is not caused by humans.
I'm a liberal who grew up in an extremely right wing conservative rural setting, and to this day, almost all my friends from my youth are right wing conservatives.
I'm still friends with them, and we generally don't talk politics, because we just understand that it would be a waste of time and cause acrimony where none is needed. We agree to disagree, drink a beer and get on with life.
You are correct about the current climate of "you have to agree with me about everything"... People that think like that are as bad as Trump supporters.
In fact, to me, in a lot of ways, the people at Google who caused a shitstorm over this guys post are as bad as Trump supporters, just on the other side of the political spectrum.
Yep.
Some of his co-workers are complete weenies if they are hurt by his opinions...
Grow a fucking pair and get over it.
I have worked with plenty of right wing dipshits that I disagree with.
Alienating conservatives is both non-inclusive and generally bad business because conservatives tend to be higher in conscientiousness, which is require for much of the drudgery and maintenance work characteristic of a mature company.
I actually agree with much of what he says, then he drops that...
Management had to fire him.
He pissed off too many co-workers, who rightly are what I would refer to as "weenies".
He is entitled to his opinion, and I actually agree with much of what he says.
His co-workers who vehemently disagreed with him would claim all sorts of workplace harassment and "fatigue" now that they know his thoughts on this subject.
To calm the restless natives they had to fire him...
For workplace "cohesiveness" they had to.
Full Disclosure:
I'm a "lefty", and routinely disparage Trump in front of co-workers, baiting anyone to debate me on his "merits"...
I agree with most of what he wrote, however he really blew it with this bullshit:
Alienating conservatives is both non-inclusive and generally bad business because conservatives tend to be higher in conscientiousness, which is require for much of the drudgery and maintenance work characteristic of a mature company.
I have worked for a very religious and right wing company...
I can tell you all about what was like, and yes, the few "leftys" such as myself generally kept our opinions to ourselves.
I no longer work there and would dissuade anyone from wanting to, unless they themselves enjoy such a workplace environment.
I totally defend this guys right to his opinions, and I actually agree with much of what he says.
However he totally "seduces the pooch" with this comment:
Alienating conservatives is both non-inclusive and generally bad business because conservatives tend to be higher in conscientiousness, which is require for much of the drudgery and maintenance work characteristic of a mature company.
How hard should I laugh at this ridiculous statement?
Pretty fucking hard...
What a complete ignoramus.
and receive funding from an organization invested in opposing Trump.
Do you have a problem with an organization opposing Trump?
If so, please explain why you support him?
...especially in light of how he has done in his first seven months or so of "governing".

Would American customers of Microsoft or any other tech giants like Google or Apple be afforded the same consumer protections?
Probably not.
One of the big changes that happens when cutting the cord, is the realization that there are many other things to do instead of watching tv.
More likely, you're from a rich family, did go to the right kind of schools, but lives in a carboard box a half block from Starbucks, and rides their wifi while waiting for a chance to use their bathroom to "shower".

Yea, why don't you do that.
Weak attempt at defending your hero Trump. Oh, but you used the word "socioeconomic", so were supposed to give you some kind of respect, like you're an editor for Breitbart.
Aren't semantics fun?!?
The real question is:
How much longer does mankind really have on this planet?
Or would you like to live in an area where everyone chose to be childless and now that everyone's retired there's no staff for... well.. anything?
You are describing the Bay Area now.

Blackouts need not cripple our civilizations.
Unless you're playing the Ottomans.
Funny...
I wonder how many of the right wing nuts posting in this forum about how Damores evidence about gender is science based and backed up by studies, etc, then turn around and argue that climate change is not caused by humans.
Brilliant!
You are absolutely correct.
I'm a liberal who grew up in an extremely right wing conservative rural setting, and to this day, almost all my friends from my youth are right wing conservatives.
I'm still friends with them, and we generally don't talk politics, because we just understand that it would be a waste of time and cause acrimony where none is needed. We agree to disagree, drink a beer and get on with life.

Do you really think corporate politics, from ANY company, would allow employees to "feel free to express dissent"?
How naive are you?
the undergraduate fumbling with psychology included is frankly embarassing
Yep.
Some of his co-workers are complete weenies if they are hurt by his opinions...
Grow a fucking pair and get over it.
I have worked with plenty of right wing dipshits that I disagree with.
What the fuck is this then?
Alienating conservatives is both non-inclusive and generally bad business because conservatives tend to be higher in conscientiousness, which is require for much of the drudgery and maintenance work characteristic of a mature company.
I actually agree with much of what he says, then he drops that...
The fact that you even include "virtue signal" in your post tells me you are a straight up dickwad, regardless of political affiliation.
Management had to fire him.
He pissed off too many co-workers, who rightly are what I would refer to as "weenies".
He is entitled to his opinion, and I actually agree with much of what he says.
His co-workers who vehemently disagreed with him would claim all sorts of workplace harassment and "fatigue" now that they know his thoughts on this subject.

That one sentence torpedoes his entire essay.
I have worked for a very religious and right wing company...
I can tell you all about what was like, and yes, the few "leftys" such as myself generally kept our opinions to ourselves.
I no longer work there and would dissuade anyone from wanting to, unless they themselves enjoy such a workplace environment.
So you are correct, it goes both ways.
However he totally "seduces the pooch" with this comment:
