I opened this expecting to see legitimate criticisms about the culture problems at google, but I can't get past the excessive whining about wokeness. I think that pseudo-progressive policies at hyper-capitalist corporations can contribute to the types of problems we have seen in Gemini. However, conflating those issues with some employee complaining about being "strongly encouraged" to choose their pronouns, and being disgusted by the "15 different crazed pronoun combinations" made me tap out. I don't care to read some culture warrior's weird manifesto.

- EdwardDiego 3y agoYeah, I read enough of these whinges on the net already.
- mvelbaum 3y agoYou are part of the problem then.
- bradjohnson 3y agoIf the other side of the issue is a propaganda network funded by a billionaire demagogue, then I'm pretty happy being part of the problem, thanks.
- mvelbaum 3y agoAre you talking about George Soros here? It's always astonishing to see ignorance and delusion so fully and grotesquely consummated in the mind of a person.
