Google has been turned into a Left-wing snowflake “echo chamber” that crushes diversity of thought, warns engineer in 10-page memo

Those on the Left constantly preach about “diversity” and “equality” and the freedom to be who and what you want to be — but they don’t really mean it. What they mean is, you are ‘free’ to choose to be who they want you to be, but anything outside of that is disallowed, disavowed, and attacked.
That helps explain why a one-time engineer for Google is now a former engineer for Google: He had the gall — the gall, mind you — to speak his mind and point out some truths that the snowflakes who inhabit both the rank-and-file at Google as well as its upper management didn’t find particularly enlightening or enjoyable.
As reported by Breitbart News, the tech-and-media behemoth appears to have no shortage of “SJWs” — social justice warriors — who use their mighty keyboards to lash out at those who dare to think differently and be different than them. That includes lashing out at the engineer, James Damore, after he penned a 10-page memo calling out his company’s “anti-conservative bias” and challenging the company’s (and the Left’s) assumptions that “gender gaps” in certain industries and areas of expertise “imply sexism.”
The memo, titled, “Google’s Ideological Echo Chamber,” went viral after being published in its entirety by the tech web site Gizmodo. Damore began his memo very non-provocatively though it wasn’t taken that way (in fact, you could say that many Google SWJ’s reacted just the way Damore said they shouldn’t):
I value diversity and inclusion, am not denying that sexism exists, and don’t endorse using stereotypes. When addressing the gap in representation in the population, we need to look at population level differences in distributions. If we can’t have an honest discussion about this, then we can never truly solve the problem. Psychological safety is built on mutual respect and acceptance, but unfortunately our culture of shaming and misrepresentation is disrespectful and unaccepting of anyone outside its echo chamber. Despite what the public response seems to have been, I’ve gotten many personal messages from fellow Googlers expressing their gratitude for bringing up these very important issues which they agree with but would never have the courage to say or defend because of our shaming culture and the possibility of being fired. This needs to change.
He also noted: “Only facts and reason can shed light on these biases, but when it comes to diversity and inclusion, Google’s left bias has created a politically correct monoculture that maintains its hold by shaming dissenters into silence.”
