										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How many of you went to work in the days after the last presidential election and attended an employee meeting lamenting a result most didn’t anticipate? Personally, I can’t remember one instance or being told by anyone who worked for a company where such happened. But if you work for this behemoth search engine, you must assume you’re not only among the smartest, most well-informed people on the planet, but you also have to tolerate those who have the sheer stupidity to not see things the way you do.</p>
<p>You are <em>“Googley”</em>.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Google-employees.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-128947" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Google-employees-150x81.jpg" sizes="(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Google-employees-150x81.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Google-employees-768x416.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Google-employees-500x271.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Google-employees-750x400.jpg 750w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Google-employees.jpg 800w" alt="" width="150" height="81" /></a><span style="color: #808080;">At a regularly scheduled all hands meeting, some Google employees and executives expressed their own personal views in the aftermath of a long and divisive election season.</span></p>
<p>“Personal views” and <em>“values” </em>they can act upon….</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">For over 20 years, everyone at Google has been able to freely express their opinions at these meetings. Nothing was said at that meeting, or any other meeting, to suggest that any political bias ever influences the way we build or operate our products.</span></p>
<p>Only someone who assumed the video wasn’t watched would formally issue such bullshit.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">To the contrary, our products are built for everyone, and we design them with extraordinary care to be a trustworthy source of information for everyone, without regard to political viewpoint.</span><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">—</span> <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2018/09/12/leaked-video-google-leaderships-dismayed-reaction-to-trump-election/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Google spokesperson</a></p>
<p>See for yourself if that’s really how things went down shortly after the 2016 election….</p>
<p><iframe class="rumble" src="https://rumble.com/embed/vkx72j/?pub=6btuj" width="750" height="442" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"><span data-mce-type="bookmark" style="display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;" class="mce_SELRES_start">﻿</span></iframe></p>
<p>Okay, time for a group hug.</p>
<p>The hubris: they actually record their public whine-fests, label them “confidential” because they’re too important for simple Americans to comprehend, they’re #snowflake cowards, and these are valuable enough for the privileged “Googlers” to view on demand: probably for therapeutic reassurance <em>(with a joint or two)</em>.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" title="Sergey Brin" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Sergey-Brin.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-128948 size-medium" title="Sergey Brin" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Sergey-Brin-150x113.jpg" sizes="(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Sergey-Brin-150x113.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Sergey-Brin-500x375.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Sergey-Brin-80x60.jpg 80w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Sergey-Brin.jpg 640w" alt="" width="150" height="113" /></a><span style="color: #808080;">Co-founder Sergey Brin can be heard comparing Trump supporters to fascists and extremists. Brin argues that like other extremists, Trump voters were motivated by “boredom,” which he says in the past led to fascism and communism.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">VP for Global Affairs Kent Walker argues that supporters of populist causes like the Trump campaign are motivated by “fear, xenophobia, hatred, and a desire for answers that may or may not be there.”</span><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">—</span> <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2018/09/12/leaked-video-google-leaderships-dismayed-reaction-to-trump-election/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Breitbart, 9/12/18</a></p>
<p>One would think Soviet-born Brin would appreciate the perils of forced group-think and enforcement, but like too many who immigrate here to take advantage of our freedoms, he ultimately believes our nation should resemble the #shithole his family fled.</p>
<p>While my initial response to government regulation is negative, Google’s liberal elitist influence on the American people <em>(especially impressionable young people)</em> is no longer something that should be brushed off as incidental.</p>
<h2><span style="color: #ff9900;"><strong>FLASHBACK</strong></span></h2>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">Google is facing renewed controversy over its alleged intolerance toward conservatives at the company, after a class action lawsuit filed by former engineer James Damore disclosed almost 100 pages of screen shots of internal communications in which employees discuss sensitive political issues.</span></p>
<p><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" title="&quot;Nooglers&quot; in beanie caps" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Noogler.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-128984 size-medium" title="&quot;Nooglers&quot; in beanie caps" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Noogler-150x71.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Noogler-150x71.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Noogler-768x365.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Noogler-500x238.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Noogler.jpg 800w" alt="" width="150" height="71" /></a>Seriously, some are wearing “Google-Noogler-Intern-Employee” propeller beanie caps.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">Screenshots of internal communications reveal numerous employees appearing to support the idea of being intolerant toward certain points of view, such as one post arguing that Google should respond to Damore’s memo by “disciplining or terminating those who have expressed support”.</span><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">—</span> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/jan/08/james-damore-sues-google-discrimination-white-male-conservatives" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Guardian (UK), 1/8/18</a></p>
<p>That said, until political persecution is prosecuted and fined just like any other kind of discrimination, this will continue and anyone not one of THEM will be targeted at their weaponized, search engine whims.</p>
