Why The Google Staffer's "Manifesto" Is Actually A Good Thing

Political correctness has gone too far and feelings got hurt at Google.

The version of a recent Google staffer's manifesto berated the Silicon Valley company for it's radical, stifling groupthink atmosphere of political correctness. His feelings were hurt, but come on, Google wanted diversity.

It's crazy to think that an authoritative, monoculture almost, almost, took over Silicon Valley. The times are changing, and for some, too rapidly; in this whirlwind, dominating political climate, the ideas of a few conservatives are allegedly being "silenced," and excluded from the super liberal, "ideological echo chamber" that is not just Google, but the entire United States of America as well. Damned political correctness has gone too far in this country, and I'm glad to see that conservatives are finally stepping up against diversity advocates and affirmative actioners.

We need to face the truth: women are just biologically inferior to men. And these diversity initiatives just stifle real, corporate and intellectual productivity. It's time to think about what really matters here: are these developmental, coding classes at Google targeted strictly to minorities really going to make a change in the world of coding? Moreover, on a larger scale, is the promotion of "nice words" really going to make a difference? I don't know if I'm convinced, and I'm sure as hell sick of biting my tongue.

Luckily, Mr. Angry-because-he-wasn't-invited-to-the-cool-kid's-sleepover Google Staffer has offered a few suggestions as to how we can stop this monstrous groupthink, which makes conservatives upset.

"De-moralize diversity." Yes, why should this be a moral issue? Some folks just don't belong, and why should we care if our crayon box is only one color. Who wants a box of 64 Crayola crayons?

"Stop alienating conservatives." This should have gone without saying, an almost unspoken rule. Our ideological echo chamber promotes diversity, so why would we ban an opinion that speaks the truth (i.e. women are just not as great as men). Jeeze.

"Stop restricting programs and classes to certain genders or races." Everyone else got to go to Sarah's birthday except me, and that's not fair!

"Be open about the science of human nature." Yes, as Calvin Candy in "Django Unchained" pointed out to his African American dinner guest, some people are just born less and are incapable of doing and uninterested in what men do.

It's so comforting to know that this lovely Google staffer has taken a stance against liberalism and monoculturism. To think, we were almost going to progress as a society. But, we have conservatives, to use his words, who "tend to be higher in conscientiousness" to guide us through these trying, inclusive times.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.
