Lots personal anecdotes placing nerds on the centre-left, centre, liberal, but independent-minded rather than groupthinky. https://twitter.com/kprmsn/status/903604248398766080 …
James Damore got fired for saying gender differences existed by google. Surely google is full of nerds. Do they seem right-wing?
-
-
The ideological extreme revealed by that was the kind of left-wing that can't tolerate science if contradicts gender ideology.
-
No, he also got the science wrong.
-
The consensus is no.
@HdxAcademy published a summary of metastudies which highlighted bits that supported & opposed his claims. -
But even if he did, people are allowed to be wrong. A nerdish environment which fires ppl for not accepting intersectional feminist views...
-
...on gender does not seem to be one that is heavy on alt-right ideology.
-
I wouldn't have fired him, but that isn't relevant. Nor is Google's employment written by intersectional feminists.
-
But he was fired for saying that gender differences exist which was viewed as sexist which is a feminist position, not an alt-right one.
-
Gender policies are not reserved for feminism. I hope you're not suggesting that sexism is a stranger to the alt-right.

That's a rather simplistic take on the James Damore, but he's far from the only one having problems with a pluralistic work place.
-
Very many people have a problem with diversity & pluralism which insists on one view of things coz its neither diverse nor pluralistic.
-
Absolutely, but that isn't relevant. Otherwise it would be pointless to discuss a topic, because some people got something wrong.
-
Huh? Could you rephrase? Not sure how this relates. I'm saying diversity & pluralism can't exist when only view is allowed.
