I can assure you this is perfectly true in San Francisco.

Simply having an opinion of your own can get you fired at most tech companies in SF. You're supposed to have and parrot whatever opinion the press and your corporate overlords tell you to have.

Google especially is exactly like this. See the case of James Damore.

True everywhere.

Don’t you know that the corporatists up and down the fuck weasel chain have overbearing opinions? ...and they influence everything about hiring and retention based on mirroring and cowing to their predictable brand of sociopathy?

These days, however, corporatists usually masquerade as "progressive left". You are much more likely to be fired for misgendering someone than for telling that all whites are fucking racists and should be exterminated

Has anyone been fired for saying they hate white males? That's how you get into the c-suite in the first place

Absolutely! What Democrats are overlooking is how they are being used to drive globalization and corporate power.

It is not "racist" to build a wall to protect American workers from having to compete with illegals. (Though hard prison time for the employers of illegals would be far better policy.)

It is not "racist" to want to move manufacturing back to the US.

To call pro-worker policies "racist" is to be a useful idiot.

@jazz_music Thank you! I think the term "corporate fuck weasel chain" should become part of the standard lexicon for describing the people who want to fuck US workers by importing illegals, outsourcing manufacturing, and screaming "racist!" at anyone who objects.

I'dd add a few other things -

bailing out incompetent banks and companies
corporate welfare, including welfare for Big Ag such as corn ethanol, and MIC
in general, system where poor can screw themselves but rich get bailed out to continue screwups and looting of tax base.

The society should have both pats for poor to rise and get rich, and also for rich to become poor if they make bad business decisions. Both of those are not really true any more.

FACT CHECK: "Pro Science" Leftists keep "misclassifying" Medical Conditions:

Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum subspecies pallidum

Which is why you can treat the Syph with antibiotics.

American ignorance - We had a Constitutional Republic, not a Democracy.

Anyone for what's up next ?

No, not “had.” Don’t be like the fucktards that say the constitution is old and outdated, they truly don’t understand it. The fact that the peeople need to toss out the garbage doesn’t mean we don’t have a Constitutional Republic anymore, it just means we actually have to get to work fixing the problems.

The wife is on benefits, the husband works of the books. Not complicated.

Two thumbs up his ass. Both Bloomberg and and Biden were born in 1942 and winning the SC primary is hardly "two thumbs."

marcus says

:
So you're disputing the point of the meme, that Biden has two thumbs ? Really ?

The phrase "two thumbs" is short for "two thumbs up" meaning a judgement of approval. Saying a meme is based on a man has two thumbs on his two hands makes no sense. Is one of the other candidates is missing a thumb or something?

You mean it's a $4B gift certificate for jobs at Lockheed, Boeing, General Dynamics.

It's nothing compared to the $30B we spend Defending Wealthy, Similarly populated Europe every year, with Germany only paying half their recommended NATO contribution but lavishing billions of Euros on Refugees from Eritrea instead.

Lefists: Demanding we cut $4B in US Defense Subsidies for Israel, bad. But demanding wealthy Germany, Italy, etc. meet their NATO commitments = OrangeManBad Putin Ally

And a whopping 4% of the Israeli Budget. I hope it stops just because so many think that Israel will live or die based on 4% of the annual government (not GDP) budget.

But BDS is going Great! Check out the Israeli Stock Market and Tourism Revenue this past decade. Exploding like the Sampson Option.

Of course, they'll end up buying the Eurofighter Typhoon and saving tens of millions per aircraft to bridge the small gap, and Lockheed Martin in California and Boeing in Washington, Dem States, will have layoffs.

Actually, this is true. Liberal Democrats are ignorant that they are being used as the tools of globalist captial to drive down wages for the poor.

Their fear that they have been promoting gross injustice and will have to answer for it to the masses they harmed inspires insane levels of hate for Trump in them.

marcus says

and regarding close to everything I've heard about him since day one.

Yup, you've been lied to and dont care

marcus says

You think I would ever think a guy with gold plated living room walls is cool ?

Are wars cool? How many wars did Obama start again?

Its infantile of you to judge a POTUS on how "cool" he is. How about the job?

Trump has done the best job of any POTUS in my lifetime, by far.
