    Divided we code: Conservatives afraid to admit political views in Silicon Valley

    http://money.cnn.com/technology/divi...-conservatives

    This isn't just hyperbole.

    I have friends who work in Silicon Valley who have told me the exact same stuff as said in this video. Basically, if you admit you're a conservative, or if you dare speak out about anything from a conservative point of view, you will get pushed out of the company and fired for some flimsy reason.

    LOL ideological intolerance

    Doesn't help that the world's largest company is run by a cocksucker. No offense to anyone living there, but a nice 10.0 earthquake in the bay area should fix everything.

    Also note that this video was put out by left-leaning CNN. It's not some right-wing propaganda piece.

    I agree Druff.

    The Liberals seem to paint all Conservatives as Redneck Nazis whenever they disagree on a topic.

    However they expect Conservatives to have open debates with them on various topics and eventually agree with them since their viewpoint is obviously correct.

    And yet the second conservative coders open their mouths, they claim women cant code right because their pussies break once a month.

    When the right wing is willing to clean its own shop of xenophobia, homophobia, religious extremism, class warfare, and stone ignorance, they can start holding other people accountable for intolerance.

    Meanwhile, actual conservatives are doing great in Silicon Valley working in finance and management and spending their downtime laughing their wealthy asses off at the yokels demanding code jobs who dont want to sit near icky gays or immigrants or heathens who would force bakers to cook cakes for people whose sexual orientation they dont agree with.

    Great thread tho, Rush Druffbaugh strikes again.

    No one believes that women can't code. Women "can't" code because they aren't drawn to these type of jobs.

    Doesn't Team Retard's Kaepernick argument apply here?

    Employers aren't paying them to express political viewpoints, so shut the fuck up and code.

    To zoom out for a second, the whole 'glass ceiling in tech' argument seems to be pure Linkedin-clickbait. I have never, in my life, worked in a shop that judged women for anything but their merits.

    That said, I have worked in Fortune-20 shops for the vast majority of my career.

    As for women being drawn to or repelled by code work, or any other IT role, again I see no indication that this is true.

    Racism, on the other hand, yyyyyikes..

    Is there alot of multitasking elements in coding? I am asking since the only idea of coding I have are from movies and tv shows where one person sits at a desk doing one thing for 10+ hours at minimum.

    There is no doubt an issue with this just like if you are a liberal guy spreading your politics at a oil rig or some s***. It is interesting that this was written by CNN but they have given no example of people actually being fired for being conservative except that Google guy. They give interviews of two guys who want to play a victim card. I am pretty sure if you are smart and talented and not like a trump boy brand conservative then your views will be accepted. Just don't go around saying women are inferior or blacks or whatever the f***. It isn't that hard. Seriously. It is not that hard

    but at this point in history, being conservative literally equals going around saying women/blacks/whatever are inferior and anything else our royal amphetamine addict picked up from infowarz comments sections.

    Think about it; if you're an adult and you flounce about, shitting and pissing yourself while doing the shopping or walking your dog, the verdict would be swift and entirely well deserved; severe mental illness, alzheimers, retardation, some combintation of the three.

    Oh but wait, you're a woman? Ohhhh ok cool you get a pass.

    The fuck is that?

    Women are just fucking lazy. You shat yourself until you learned to control your asshole, so how about you spend a weekend learning how to properly control your vagina so you can hold in your menstral blood until you can get to a toilet? Tampons should be training devices, not fucking solutions.

    And I have news for you ladies; men know you're all pampered, incompetent children. We know. We know that you claim to believe that bleeding is the thing that makes you adult women when in fact most of you never grow up at all. We laugh at you the same way we laugh at mentally handicapped children who have to wear diapers to school. And if we didn't laugh, we felt pity and/or abject disgust.

    So, ladies. Don't listen to all these adult-children who tell you it's perfectly okay to spew blood from your cunt past the age of 16. Because it is the opposite of ok. You can control how you shit, you can control how you piss, now control how you bleed.

    Get with the fucking program.
    Just sayin'

    Indians are just the absolute worst coders in the world AINEC.

    They are reasonable at boilerplate follow-a-process lowest-common-denominator IT support, but just fucking terrible at software dev.

    its also worth noting that they are the single most egregiously sexist and racist group in the workforce.
