Okay, I'm saying this as a republican, but the calling of people visiting a campus as "immigration" is stupid on its face.<p>I see the reductionist attempt to equate the two, and sure they have in common the fact that it involves people moving their bodies to a new location, but that's where it ends.<p>Not a single person I know, not even the most liberal, border-erasing people would advocate for the complete eradication of property rights, nor for the removal of a property owner's choice of who to allow on said property.<p>As a conservative, I was sickened by the filing, because if even half of it was true and not taken out of context, it indicates that Google does have an institutional bias against certain ideas being tolerated.<p>I'm not saying people should be allowed to harass others, but some of these reactions would constitute harassment.<p>FWIW, I think this is really an issue of many people at polarized edges of an ideology aren't able to have a constructive discussion without it devolving into shows of force to silence the other.
I think people in the Valley are so far removed from anyone who's politically misaligned that they are desperate for something to lash out against. I remember reading an article about people protesting Palantir on the grounds that they might someday receive a contract for a theoretical deportation database that Trump might someday want to build.
Upvoted for the implication that gender can't be considered a protected class if gender is fluid. Isn't the whole point of protected classes based on being something you can't change about yourself?
