It's not just about his firing. He was harassed and threatened with physical violence for wrong think.

RE: James Damore Suing google
Ben Shapiro joked the other day that when he was at Harvard law, Dershowitz and Steven Pinkner were liberals. Now, they're "alt-right".
Damore is a scientist, not a deplorable. You can't just label liberals as "alt-right", and scientists as "deplorable" when the science doesn't align with your fringe, alt-left world view.

Again, you don't seem to have a problem with it when its "Christians" and homophobes doing it to LGBT persons.

Yeah, I don't know about being protected for being conservative, but the threats being tolerated are a real legal problem for Google. And the discrimination for being White and male if proven is a problem.

Why is discrimination a problem? I thought you supported legal discrimination against LGBT persons? I thought it was 'employment at will'
Why are y'all being such snowflakes about it? Damore can start his own company or work for someone else right?

Employment at will depends on state law. What does the choice of laws paragraph in his employment contract provide?

Your schtick is getting pretty weak. Nobody on here supports discrimination based on sex, race or national origin. And it is against the law. I haven't heard anyone thinking discrimination against gays was right, only that we shouldn't keep adding to protected groups.
You are just being a bigot, prejudging people because of one thing. You should be ashamed of being an unapologetic bigot.
And you seem to support physical threats at work.

I'm just pointing out that many of you guys directly oppose employment protections that protect LGBT persons.
If LGBT people can face discrimination, so can snowflake alt righters.

Nah, I'm not going to state the obvious. Do you support employment discrimination protections for LGBT people? Or it just white, straight, cis, right wingers that should be protected?

I love how he’s gone from “alt right” to merely a “right winger” in a single post.
Do tell, is James Damore for an ethnostate? What makes him “alt right”?

And its not clear he's even a conservative. He thinks diversity training as practiced at Google is a waste of time. But many liberals believe that at their place of work.

He is in all likelihood a liberal. Just like Lindsay Shepherd. Just like Dave Rubin. Just like Laci Green. Just like Jordan Peterson. Just like Bret Weinstein. Just like Alan Dershowitz. Just like Stephen Pinkner.
I could go on and on.

I don't think what people do in the privacy of their homes is of any relevance to their employment. And I don't think its any of your employers business. The laws you want force them into your private business. Sex, race and often national origin is pretty obvious. Sexual habits requires questions invading your privacy. Discrimination is nothing like it was 40 years ago and is almost non-existent at large employers and doesn't warrant an invasion of everyone's privacy.
None of which are relevant to Google tolerating threats and blacklists at their company.

Who cares whether he's alt-righter or a right wing Trump supporter? Same thing, quite frankly.
Either way, he's a fragile little snowflake. He should do what the right wing/alt right says to LGBT persons complaining because they lost their jobs? Suck it up buttercup!

Ah yes, there's always an excuse to protect firing people from their jobs for being LGBT, or not hiring them in the first place.
But you guys whine about some alt-righter/rightwinger losing his job.
I'm not having your complaints about discrimination while you support protecting discrimination against LGBT persons. If we're supposed to keep it in the closet at work, then so can Damore. If we can get fired if anyone at work finds out we're LGBT, then Damore can be fired if anyone finds out he's an alt-righter.

Yea, yea, yea. I don't see y'all putting up threads when people get fired or harassed for being LGBT. Don't whine like a little snowflake when the tables are turned.
Fix it for EVERYONE including stated legal protections for LGBT persons or fix it for no one.
