Try running the following experiment: open an incognito window and do a Google search for "antifa violence". Then do the same search on Bing or DuckDuckGo. On Google, the top results are things like "Anti-fascists linked to zero murders in the US in 25 years" and "Antifa Activist Killed At ICE Jail Becomes Symbol For The Right And Left".[1] The first headline is outright false[2] and the second is about a man who assaulted a detention center in Tacoma using firebombs and a rifle.[3]
On DuckDuckGo[4], the first result is undercover video footage of an antifa leader admitting that they are violent and encouraging recruits to do things such as eye gouge. Other results are from both left and right-leaning media. Some claim antifa doesn't cause violence. Others claim that antifa is the sole cause of violence. In short: it's far more balanced than what Google is showing.
You can also look at the political climate inside of Google. The leaked communications are pretty wild. You have people discussing banning recommendations of videos containing "nazis" using "dog whistles" and examples of such "nazis" are PragerU, Jordan Peterson, and Ben Shapiro[5]. Look at their internal docs on correcting "algorithmic unfairness" in news and search results.[6] They admit to tweaking the autocomplete behavior for both Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman, as the defaults suggested (correctly) that Martin was a drug dealer. These docs also claim that factually accurate representations of the world can constitute algorithmic unfairness. Look at the internal responses to James Damore's memo: https://imgur.com/a/S48QN https://imgur.com/a/S48QN Damore's politics are left-leaning libertarian. If that's the response he gets for making his opinion known, there is no chance that a work environment like that can accept a conservative viewpoint.
Finally (I wish I could find a better source for this), Tucker Carlson describes an email by the head of Google's Multicultural Marketing department. In it, she explains how she used the company's resources & influence to target latino voters in key states with the goal of swinging the election towards Clinton. She even calls it a "silent donation". If what Tucker Carlson says is true, then that is one hell of a smoking gun.

2. The trick is that antifa doesn't exactly have a membership list, so technically nobody who commits a crime can be tied to them. If you count those who claim to be anti-fascist, you can get quite the body count. For example, one antifa supporter killed 9 people last year: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Dayton_shooting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Dayton_shooting

- esrauch 6y agoYour citation of an antifa mass shooting doesn't appear very compelling; the Wikipedia article explicitly indicates no political motive in the shooting. It says he separately may have claimed support for antifa but the article also indicates he also may have been an incel or something.
