It was more rigorously argued than simply stating that 'was neither rigorously argued'. I've seen this sentence now a 100th time in this topic, and I haven't seen any of kind of proof for opposing any of his statements. They don't say that the school matters, they say you have to actually refute him instead of saying 'he's just stupid'.

What I don't get in many of the left-leaning comments is that they're basically saying that 'patriarchy'/society is the only reason why women are underrepresented in tech.

In India/Russia, there are way more women represented in tech then in US. Do you think that these cultures are more welcoming/less sexist to women than US? It should be so in your world view.

I suspect that the companies in these countries doesn't have a diversity program, and they hire everyone for purely business reasons. Why do you think that diversity problems solve anything on the long term?

I live in Eastern EU and many people are actually sexist here ( men and women are favor of enforced gender roles ), unlike in Top 20 countries. But I suspect the gender disparity in tech is better than in the us, or largely the same. Isn't this kind of disproves the notion that gender differences are caused by sexism?

It came from the alternative libertarian media 1-2 years ago.

He's saying that Google hires people for the wrong reason. He does not say that he has a problem with hiring any group.

He did not make that claim that > "He was making an unsubstantiated claim that his coworkers, or at a minimum the sex and/or races they belong to, are inherently deficient at performing the work" He only claimed that the difference between groups could come from something else than society. To deny that is a much harder argument which could only be proved to exceptional evidence. Basically he's saying 'some' and you say 'never'.

AFAIK the IQ difference between genders is negligible, but the spread of the IQ is much greater in the male group. This also means that there are more men who are above 130 IQ then women which is kind of necessary to be a programmer. This does not mean that a female can't be a genius! If you want to disprove this you can do two things: 1., Prove that the average female IQ is way higher than mens. 2., Prove that there are as much women who are intellectually retarded ( sorry, English is not my first language, I don't know a better word ) than woman.

I live in the EU, and what I see is that the two sides ( progressives / modern conservatives ) almost say the same things with very subtle differences, and the real difference is the way they talk.

I saw a comment here that stated that a neoliberal won against a progressive which is right. But every poll shows that Bernie would have won against Trump. This basically means that the right wingers actually agree with the progressive talking points: global warming, health care, and a little bit of anti globalism. This also means that Hillary didn't represent these.

I've also seen here that there is there is no left wing push. Some talking points of Hillary are the best example of that, for ex. "vote for me because I'm a woman". Many people who think that there are no major differences between a man and a woman will think that this statement is sexist. There is a push to be kind with everyone and it is forced on people very hard ( NASA guy with the shirt ).

This is very real as you can see in many comments. This like racism against black people in the U.S: if you ask black people many will say that they never experienced it, same like conservatives, but this doesn't necessary mean that it doesn't exists.

My main point that the progressive movement has two sides: one with important issues which are physically influences our lives, and one which wants social change. IMHO the social changes they want aren't that great, and the means they try to achieve that are very very bad. The mainstream part of democrats turned to the social part, and that caused this change.

My question for liberals here, who just don't understand why 4chan changed: Do you think what I've stated here is true? Why not? If yes then why the connection between the alt-right and leftist push is wrong?
