James Damore, the former google engineer fired for circulating a memo that criticized the liberal “ideological echo chamber” at Google has gathered a lot of attention.
Among the people who have something to say about the whole situation is a man who knows a thing or two about exposing the truth….Julian Assange.
He first started tweeting about it before James Damore was exposed and fired.
Identity politics 2.0 wars come to Google. Oh no. But mass spying is fine since its equal opportunity predation.https://t.co/BArOsWb1ho

When Damore was terminated, he REALLY let them have it, slamming the company for their hypocritical actions:
Google: Any ideas on how we can decrease wages?
Engineer: The job is lonely & stressful. Maybe women don’t like it
Google: You’re fired— Julian Assange 🔹 (@JulianAssange) August 8, 2017

He continued on his angry Twitter rampage, and then followed up with this:
1/ Censorship is for losers. @WikiLeaks is offering a job to fired Google engineer James Damore. https://t.co/tmrflE72p3

Ooooh. Intereeeesting.
There’s no word on whether he’s considering the offer, but he IS considering suing Google.
He tells the New York Times:
“I have a legal right to express my concerns about the terms and conditions of my working environment and to bring up potentially illegal behavior, which is what my document does.”
He’s absolutely right. I hope he wins.
I have something to clear up. I’ve noticed a few comments on our posts about this issue condemning us for supporting Damore over the women who had their feelings hurt. After all, we’re supposed to be strong, empowered women ourselves. Shouldn’t we support women?
Short answer: We absolutely do, but there’s nothing wrong with the memo. Stop getting your information from a bunch of “strong” crying feminists, CNN, and the rest of the liberal media, and take a moment to find out what this memo ACTUALLY says.
Long answer: as best worded by a person I very much look up to…
Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief Ben Shapiro summed up four of the most important claims in the memo that Damore did NOT make that the media accused him of making nonetheless. A few excerpts from Shapiro’s summary:
1. Women Are Biologically Unfit For Tech. CNN actually ran a segment today claiming that this was Damore’s suggestion. That’s patently false. In fact, Damore openly says the opposite. The media seem completely unable to comprehend the difference between the statement “women on average are different from men” and “this particular woman is different from this particular man.”
2. Diversity Is Bad. Damore opens the memo by stating, “I value diversity and inclusion.” Actually, Damore offers an entire section of his memo devoted to “non-discriminatory ways to reduce the gender gap.” He suggests that Google “make software engineering more people-oriented with pair programming and more collaboration,” “allow those exhibiting cooperative behavior to thrive,” “make tech and leadership less stressful,” and “allowing and truly endorsing (as part of our culture) part time work,” as well as changing stereotypical biases about male performance. Damore states that he believes that “arbitrary social engineering of tech just to make it appealing to equal portions of both men and women” would be foolish, but if there is a goal of helping the company succeed, such measures could be worthwhile.
3. Sexism Doesn’t Exist. The memo author explicitly dismisses this notion as well. Damore writes that he is “not denying that sexism exists.”
4. The Memo Promotes Violence! This is the most extreme claim being made by Leftists about the memo. It’s a lie. In fact, one of the rationales behind the memo was to prevent the PC-led violence that has infected college campuses. …
So….don’t be an idiot and assume you know better than us about what the memo is “REALLY” about because you read a bunch of headlines on CNN. That’s not going to cut it around here.
