The memo didn't cause self doubt, the memo was intended to inspire others to look for doubt (hence the "lowering the bar"). The memo specifically targeted diversity hires as a lower bar. Imagine if a memo started circulating

This interview is literally a criticism that says very little about his style of writing. When they talk about "how" he approached this subject, it has to do with overall tone and the medium of delivery, not the nuances of his wri

I'd argue that it's objectively aggressive. His twitter handle "@fired4truth" makes the intention to be so rather obvious (the content he's promoting on that handle is an entire additional ball of wax)... A 10-page

You still don't understand what point I was trying to make.

My sole point in this entire thread is that white supremacy is bad regardless of source. I merely used an extreme example to show you that you were missing the forest for the trees, and you still are. I'm sorry that you're having

No, I'm making a point about white supremacy and you're being pedantic about something tangentially related. It doesn't fucking matter how similar socialism is to communism when white supremacy is the outcome. The Titanic is

so you're saying that I should be responsible for the mental well being of an adult who thinks eradicating entire races of people will solve all of their problems

So you agree with white supremacy because there are similarities between a specific group of communists and specific group of socialists. Fascinating.

Don't pull that alt-right logic-gymnast bullshit where suddenly we're calling nazis "national socialists" and all socialism are the same. It's fine if you've convinced yourself that you can't smell your ow

I'm going to go ahead and say it's ok to deny the concerns of white supremacists

It's a series of tools and components required to fit certain related theories? In carpentry you have many standardized off-the-shelf tools and components (hammers, nails, windows, tiles, dimensional lumber) and you have an almost endl

Not sure what point you're trying to make — I live in Boston and the map seems generally accurate. Sometimes it takes longer, sometimes shorter — that's why we use averages. There's also a reason traffic to the cape is high d

As this guy's ongoing reaction verifies (His twitter handle is "@fired4truth"), a manifesto is a "here's why I'm right" rather than a "let's talk about this." This guy has no intention of ha

I didn't see this myself but the guy who works the drivethru at my local burger king told me that the red team has perfected the flame grilled whopper and they had to be fired because they had gone too far

I'd wait a few months and tell him to go pound sand. I don't care what his opinion is, he picked a shitty way to express it that's intentionally meant to undermine.

California is an at-will state, so they could also just fire him for any or no reason. Someone spreading 10-page manifestos internally is generally toxic no matter which opinion they share. It essentially screams "I know better than an

I like it because it essentially forces "If I had more time, I would have written a shorter letter" — I've read more than enough "limitless" threads of utter rubbish, longer garbage is still garbage. There are posit
