It would not surprise me if Google would done something similar with a Marxist or anarchist memo, though. I find it hard to call it left wing bias with that in mind.
- humanrebar 9y agoFair point. But these labels are generally inaccurate. Trump is clearly not ideological, do calling him right wing doesn't make sense either. He's not going to, out of principle, decide he doesn't have the legal ability to do something he wants. We obviously need a different political metaphor. I don't know if are ready for one though.
- thatonechad 9y agoThe difference is you are comparing an extremely far left memo Communism/Marxism to one he wrote that is backed by science and is middle of the road common sense. You are acting like this is some extreme right wing babble when all actuality its not.
- ue_ 9y ago>to one he wrote that is backed by science and is middle of the road common sense Being a Marxist/anarchist manifesto and being backed by science, economics or political philosophy aren't mutually exclusive. I don't view the memo as common sense - that's not to say it's incorrect, but I don't view it as common sense. I'm not acting as though it's right-wing babble; my point is that I am against people saying that Google has a left-wing bias, when it's hard to imagine that positions which are core to the left wing would be accepted at Google. As such, I'm not making a comment on the content of the piece, I'm making a comment on the culture at Google which is supposedly 'left-wing biased'.
