Firing someone for saying that all his women coworkers are poo poo and also proving that he is just a deranged right wing idiot by interchanging women and minority races at will is fine and good hth

Appealing to the authority that being a computer geek makes him an ace at sociology and :biotruths: is not good science.

Oh great this thread is obsessing over loving identity politics too, literally the most tortuous and inconclusive conversation and poo poo fit to come out of the internet in the past 3 year. Personally I'm more concerned about the crazy man in the White House this thread is about than whether millennials feel a given gender or minority is being championed or oppressed enough in the United States or not.

That's ironic that you bring that up. Traditionally, managing money in Korea and banking related activities were feminine. Women managed money and wealth.

They also had very different forms of rent where you would basically provide a one time payment that the owner would then use for capital. You would get room and board. When you moved out, you got your original money back.

I wouldn't even call it ironic, I've been to family gatherings of one of my closest friends in the Ivory Coast, his grannies run everything for a block around and run it well. matriarchal households are imo flat-out better to live in for everyone involved.

Whenever I deal with identity politics concerns trolls irl which happens when you're white collar Mcyuppie von white bread, I always tell them that a choice between them, the invariably white, usually male, universally well to do educated idiot, and pretty much anyone else in the whole of the loving earth, is pretty easy.

You tell me to back your play, or I back the play of a 90 year old black lady, I'm with her. You tell me to back your play or I back the play of a Trans kid being bullied in a bathroom by a pack of bored bigots at the state house, I'm with the kid.

Basically, I am not with anyone who would denigrate the concerns of another person by casting them as some trivial artifact of identity. Identity politics as I hear it described is civil rights, and if you're against that, I am against you.

Trump is way too much of a coward to make an overt threat. That's why he's saying stuff like this and 'fire and fury', they sound like they're overt threats but they aren't. He leaves himself room to backpedal here, just like he does on everything.

he got fired because he created a bad work environment, meaning some large portion of his coworkers don't like him, making him difficult to manage and a liability. if you're a phd candidate who didn't learn the simple loving lesson of "don't talk about politics at work" then you're actually a huge, overeducated moron irl

DOes it matter at all that some other person leaked that document to the company at large instead of just to HR? Should that employee be somehow punished, or lauded as a whistleblower? The Spreader of that document probably contributed a lot to many of the employees feelings of being in a hostile environment, merely by spreading it around.

Glad the dude got fired, though. Kind of a tool.

The way he says "threat", then backpedals to "...overt threat" smells like him setting himself up for cop-out tbh. North Korea will say some poo poo and then Trump will pussy out and say it wasn't "overt" or something when he's questioned on it.

No I mean gently caress people that obsess and bicker and fling rhetoric over this identity politics stuff without any attempt to reach any sort of conclusion, end point or to learn something in the process. The internet is more stupid about this one thing than anything else in recent years. Both sides of the equation are piss annoying about it more often than not including the extreme bigoted fuckers that hang out in places like /pol/ and alt-right twitter feeds and define their lives by their extremist beliefs about identity politics and the extreme social justice warriors that also define their lives around being offended about identity politics and inequalities but are looking for any fuel to do that virtue signalling thing on twitter and don't actually care about the issues at hand. gently caress those people that fight around in circles about this poo poo on their twitter feeds for attention, not the real people that actually fight for, make sacrifices and care about crucial inequality issues in Western Civilization that ought to change. It's also the fact that they export their bickering over identity politics fueled bitch fits to topics I don't want to have to talk about them constantly with like gaming or entertainment where I'd rather talk about other poo poo. Everything has to be viewed through this lens somehow and there's so many of these fuckers though.

Like you'd think the Google thing might be a means towards approaching an end for these fuckers I have to hear at least something from at some point, but it won't, it'll just take it around in circles again while the usual pundits drop their idiotic extremists comments and the other side gets offended by them and vice versa cause that's seemingly the goal is to antagonize "the other side" and apparently anybody caught up in the whirlwind

I disagree strongly, not that Trump isn't a coward, but that his cowardice is relevant. Someone else will die and he's already shown he's fine greenlighting it. Obama was weak andTrump is a big strong tough guy and he expects someone to give him something before he stops waving his dick around.
