Why are American technology companies taking political stanc

They can't accept that technological progress is ultimately a nihilistic pursuit, so they desperately try to imbue their work with some meaning to justify calling the act of writing Java code "changing the world".

tax breaks, government grants, international consumer loyalty, etc, etc

How is that diverse? There's not a single black guy there.

>>56348658
This. I live in Melbourne, the heart of liberal bullshittery in Australia. People who work in tech think they're literally changing the world by doing Dev-ops and writting code for enterprise.

What is it with IT and being infested with leftist ideas?

2 reason

a) prevention of frivolous lawsuits due to (insert silly political discrimination law passed by state/nation/country). they can point to their 'diversity' policies to weasel out of getting sued.

b) due to a) (lawsuits) many of these corps hire "diversity evangelists" who's only role is to sit around and suggest more methods for diversity. These people are the one's who write the company propaganda and who's marketers go to in order to have so-called diverse enough propaganda.

IRL it's generally all bullshit, they merit based hire like everybody else

>>56349698
Intelligent people tend to lean more to the left.

>>56347511
It's good PR in an ever increasingly liberal world. They want their legacy to be on the "right side of history."

Doesn't the knowledge that your proud white bloodline will be permanently extinguished by your daughter crying in ecstasy from the raw animalistic energy of superior thug dominant black cock make your tiny boiclitty strain against its cage.

>>56350174
I don't see how socialism, a system that by definition decimates individual rights, is an intelligent position.

>>56350228

>>56350185
Liberalism is a cannibalizing ideology that can only exist in times of plenty. They chose the wrong side.

What good do individual rights do for society as a whole? That isn't a rhetorical question either. I'm legitimately asking you to answer that.

It looks like you've gotten lost.

>>56350318
How many blacks do you think are college educated and working on a percentage basis?

>>56350312
The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities.

>>56350053
Literally all of them are pajeets.

>>56350389
The photo was actually taken in India.

>>56350385
I suppose the logical response would be "fuck minorities".

Companies have always been political, it's just that the 'new kids on the block' are openly political instead of pretending not to be.
Their policies all revolve around one thing: Making labour cheaper. They want cheaper programmers. They want people to do extremely complex mental tasks for peanuts.

>>56349698
Probably college graduates. You get brainwashed in college.

>>56350385
That didn't answer the question at all.

He's busy.

>>56350403
You don't know much about logic do you?

>>56350312
What good does the abolition of individual rights do for the individual?

If I am no longer allowed to express opinions that fall outside the consensus, what good is the idea of debate, which gets society to think and improve?

If I am no longer allowed to start a business, what good is it to have dreams of entrepreneurship for innovating new things that will help society?

If I am no longer able to criticize the government without being punished, why would I ever be happy about living in such a society to begin with?

>>56350412

Except of course every single Silicon Valley founder/owner/CEO who is a libertarian with firm sink or swim theology of "let them eat cake".

They use the modern, watered down left nonsense in all employee propaganda to make their lowly paid peons who work in marketing think they are accomplishing something worthwhile when in reality they're just shilling some junk. "We do diversity activism here by creating an all women group, join here to fight the gender gap in tech blah blah" what that ad really should say: "Sell our shit, pretend to do activism for motivation but really, you're just selling our shit".

>>56350312
Founding members of the US, and French philosophiers of the day wrote entire volumes on exactly how individual rights benefit society as a whole. You'd know this if you weren't a marxist shill

>>56350640
Care to actually cite any of their reasonings?

>>56347511
stock prices.

investors are basically dumb animals.

>>56350715
Individual rights are a protection from society, Read Montesquieu, Voltaire, Rousseau, John Ralston Saul to name a few.

>>56349698
It's only the programming creative side that's full of those types. I work more on the networking side and no one gives a fuck about that shit, most net admins just want to drink beer and talk shit.

>>56350640
ironically, those were people we'd consider "leftists" today.
of course the US right-wing has managed to bastardize anything related to "leftism" so much, that any mention of good social policies is met with fear

>>56350750
I'm asking you personally though. You wouldn't just give a list of books for the answer to a discussion question would you? Also for every philosophical argument there is a philosopher with a differing view.

Wow, the females out number the males in that pic 2 to1.

Hmmmm, I wonder what happens to a society when young males have no employment?

>>56350332
Statistics don't say anything about individuals.

>>56347511
Support whatever current political stance is popular.

Dumb normies get fooled and support that company.

Its a marketing tool to trick mouth breathers. If being right wing ultraconservative was popular in society companies would be pandering to that market.

As a whole?
It allows society, it's continued existence. When people don't have individual rights typically they riot - eventually you get fed up of the "at least we're all equally fucked" rationalization.

Case in point is the fall of the Iron Curtain - socialist cucklords got dethroned and now the right crushes the left in every election in Eastern Europe, people live in oligarchy and they're fucking loving it.

Case in point is the Arab Spring - small cliques of leftist leaning shiteaters thought they could force secularism on some of the most religious people in the world. Shit backfired on them pretty good. The waves of Islamofascism which resulted of that oppression will have effects for decades and maybe centuries to come.

It's funny how while the rest of the world gained it's freedom back the West is enamored with one of the most dysfunctional forms of politics the world has ever come up with.

To be honest I'm not worried about lefticucks at all. With low birthrates, high death rate, open minded stance on drugs and alcohol consumption and overall a complete disregard for biological imperatives, the lefticuck has no chance of survival in the world that is to come.

>>56347511
Because Google wants to hire the best talent, and programming/CS talent transcends race, gender, sexual orientation, etc. If they have to promote a politically correct stance so that those people don't quit because of a hostile work environment, that's what they'll do.

Also less related but shows why everyone in the valley is overwhelmingly turning away from Trump:

everyone in that pic with the exception of like 2 are north indian

why the fuck is it when white people talk about race they just clump all non-whites together like they belong to some sort of special victim club

>>56352024
They wanted non whites but they also wanted someone who could do the job.

It does serve their "diversity" meme quite "well".

>>56352024
Better question is why everyone white is simply white, while the rest are magically diverse.

Coulda fooled me, looks like the San Francisco office. Or maybe it doesn't. Not enough gays.

>>56352132
Look at it from the perspective of a business owner.

Let's say you need a full-stack engineer or a senior dev familiar with some obscure but mission-critical piece of tech you need for a project. There are very few developers with this skillset, and you interview potential candidates and it just comes out that best one is female.

Would you want this near-irreplaceable person to quit because some troglodyte is spewing biodeterministic nonsense at her like "lol girls cant code xddd"?

I'm not a SJW but I can see why these diversity/PC policies get implemented and I'm fine with them as long as they're reasonable and not a lynchmob over some github user's eggplant picture.

>>56352141
nevermind then, in this instance at least. it must have been OP's fault for choosing a stupid unrelated image.

>>56352203
Yes but at the same time not really. Talented people are very hard to replace so its in a company's best interests to make sure they're not being second-guessed for something they have no control over.

It's less about lawsuits like it is at cubicle farms where diversity policies are a form of 'cover your ass'

Why so white though?

Lower wages

Well off, well educated white guy: "My time is worth $30 an hour, and I want overtime at pay and a half or double pay, with paid breaks after 12 hours. I'd like some creative control so the OOP monkeys don't fuck up perfectly good programs. "
Woman: "lol i don't care part time my husband brings home the bacon"
Minority: "Please sir, my family is starving, I have community college degree, i can learn your favorite programming language and have made many two pane file manager for linux gnome as proof of skill"

All I see are Curry Coders, how is that diversity?

>>56352272
Pajeet Raja and Mohamad Abdulkadr of course.

>>56350174
and before that, intelligent men were staunch race realists because it was what was taught in the same institutions those men went to to study actual subjects

correlation != causation

>>56350218
because black american culture shames people like that for being race traitors and their children end up gangster rappers.

>>56350312
What good does society do? Why is society so important? What are you trying to accomplish here? Spread the species? Refine the species? Destroy the species? Why does forced subservience to a social system have to be the only model? Why not total freedom for individuals that have little want of it?

>>56352287
diversity = white people not allowed

>>56351944
This.
It's just an easy PR move, pandering to pseudo-leftists college kids who believe the world would be a better place if only there were more black female CEOs and more affirmative action.
But giving Foxconn employees more bearable work conditions so they don't commit suicide ? The exploitation of children in African coltan mines ? Google and Apple don't give a fuck about that.
It's just a facade, giving them some sort of ethical credit. In reality, >>56350406 said it all. Lower labour costs = more surplus value.
If you really believe Google and Apple are left-wing companies, I hope Trump will get elected, so people like you can understand how the real world works, and why a real-estate tycoon who was always friends with the Clintons don't a fuck about you, young peasant.

>>56352024
They all are Indians you stupid, this is a Delhi office, the two chink looking girl and guy is also Indian. North East Indians look like chinks

outsourcing to pajeets is the cheapest soloution
