1. Zuckerberg tells employees not to mistreat diverse views like Google did with Damore
2. Zuckerberg tells employees not to mistreat diverse views like Damore did at Google
I find there's a bi-modal distribution in how people interpret Damore's memo. It's like that blue-gold dress debate again:
1. evil sexist falsehood propaganda by a closet neo-nazi, meant to hurt
2. a well-sourced, accurate and well-meaning text by a nerd, meant to help
I read Damore's memo and reached my own conclusion (which is irrelevant to my point so I won't even state it), but isn't this dichotomy fascinating?
Your supporting link says it has no substance - it's a simple meme that is wrong.
This subject annoys me because I am convinced that not only does the Horseshoe Theory have no predictive power - but also that it denies something which really is true - that political violence can come out of the Center aka from Liberalism.
This is a huge blindspot in modern political culture. Conflict coming out of the Center would be a true Black Swan event.
I mean, it does no such thing, but that's how it feels, internally, and that's what generally happens.
