Regardless of your feelings on the memo... It's ironic that a capitalist and "classic liberal" is relying on labor laws resting on a foundation hard-fought by unions and socialists. That irony is interesting enough to mention in an article.
Just like it would be interesting to point out that a virulent anti-semite hired a Jewish lawyer to defend them... which the press did quite often.
(Not comparing Damore to an anti-semite or anything, just using an example)
- leereeves 9y agoWhy do you call Damore a capitalist? He's quite clearly not a staunch capitalist ideologically - a staunch capitalist would simply say "Google has the right to hire whoever they want."
- spamizbad 9y ago> Why do you call Damore a capitalist? He described himself as a classic liberal in the memo. That ideology places significant emphasis on economic freedom. One cannot be a "classic liberal" without also being a staunch capitalist, unless you find capitalism itself too restrictive and reject the label.
