Google comes up with a tepid halfway solution for Kamau Bobb — 35 Comments

  1. Perhaps Bobb was “punished” (sort of) because the founders of Google are jewish.
    Lefties are able to rationalize anything at all – even murder or mass
    exterminations – as long as they have no skin in the game.

    When the policies they encourage / support negatively affect them, well then, that’s a different story.

    Think about it; if the mayor of Portland (or Seattle, or the governors of Oregon and Washington, or the mayor of Chicago, etc) had his home burned to the ground, and he had gotten physically assaulted real bad (requiring a hospital stay of a few days) or had close relatives shot and wounded or killed, who thinks they would allow ANTIFA or BLM to do their thing?

  2. Well Andy Ngo is Asian (Vietnamese American actually). So the white Antifa fascists in Portland can beat him in the streets again. Because, justice! Funny how progressive Portland rolls.

  3. He’s Pro-Life, but without a provision for self-defense?

    Diversity (i.e. color judgment) not limited to race-ism, sex-ism, age-ism, inequity, and exclusion.

    No, he’s Pro-Choice. One step forward, twos steps backward.

  4. Isn’t Ngo also gay? I think I recall them hurling gay slurs at him during one of his beatings (or attempted assaults) that was recorded. So he’s technically a “twice over victim” that would be propped up by the “stop Asian hate” and gay rights movements if he was on the other team.

  5. Yes Andy Ngo is gay, but gay is less than trans and Asian is white unless they are AAIPC ….. Portland rules (see anarchistic communo/fascist). Because justice!

  6. Perhaps Bobb was “punished” (sort of) because the founders of Google are jewish.

    One of them is a post-Soviet migrant whose family settled here rather than in Israel. The other’s a faculty brat from Ann Arbor.

  7. “Wait 6 or 12 months and Mr. Bobb will be back in his old job.” – TommyJay
    Probably less.
    Also note that STEM jobs at Google are not bias free; somebody is encoding the cancellation algorithms somewhere.

    “They knew.” – Rick
    Now, now. That’s a baseless assumption without evidence.

  8. }}} }}} “They knew.” – Rick
    }}} Now, now. That’s a baseless assumption without evidence.

    What, they can’t use their own search engine to find old writings by prospective executives? 😛

  9. That Google fired Damore for criticizing Google but retained Bobb gives their game away. They didn’t demote Bobb because he made antisemitic comments. No woke company’s leadership has a problem with antisemitism.

    No, it was his ‘anti’ LGBTQ comments that could not be overlooked. It’s where a group or individual lands on the victim ladder that determines what punishment if any, is handed out.

    White, male, heterosexual, Christian conservatives are of course at the bottom, followed by women of that identity.

    Conservative Jews, Blacks, Asians and Hispanics are a notch above because while supportive of the white power structure, they are also victims of it… they simply haven’t a’woke’n.

    Though jew-haters insist that the millenia long Jewish conspiracy to dominate the world is at base the problem. For such as they, ‘gotta hate’ is an emotional imperative. Jews being relatively few in number are a convenient scapegat and target.

    That the narrative and contrary facts, logic and reason ‘validate’ that narrative because they act in support of the cultural norms that, whatever the cost must be erased.

  10. That Google fired Damore for criticizing Google but retained Bobb gives their game away.

    They solicited commentary on matters being discussed intramurally, then fired him for offering his opinions. Honorable people do not do that. Our elites are garbage human beings.

  11. Had Damore criticised the Jews as well, he’d have been fired twice.

    Bobb has Magic Black Invincibility Cloak and went at Jews via the only survivable attack vector (Israel and Palestinians) and doubtless thought he could score some nice style points with his passive-aggressive musings.

    Thing is… he forgot that he’s working for a company with many tentacles and lots of Deep State(S) dealings… everyone pissing in each others’ pockets… not to mention at that scale companies grow via acquisitions more than through internal innovation… even Googles… and if you’re going to be buying stuff off venture capitalists and founders you probably don’t want to be pissing off Jews.

    Special Skin Sambo just demonstrated the Peter Principle.

    Furthermore.. Empire! 😛

  12. We can only hope that the “French Revolution” comes for them, but I have my doubts that it will happen.

  13. Tepid Half-Way Solution

    Never Again ™

    I know what they say about Foolish Consistency…

  14. Firing Damore and retaining Bobb aligns with the adage I recognized after many years as an employee of a Fortune 500 company:
    “A company is know by the management it keeps.”

    Good quality contributors usually don’t stay where they are not appreciated.
    Damore is probably better off outside of Google than inside, possibly becoming a valued contributor for someone else, or an entrepreneur in his own right.

  15. @R2L:

    Yes. But as far as I recall, Damore is silenced by the terms of his settlement with Google. Art+Deco please fact check.

    If so they win again.

  16. “Bobb has [a] Magic Black Invincibility Cloak” Zaphod

    He does and that is more than sufficient against evidence of rabid antisemitism. Protests against commentary clearly seen by the conservative right as antisemitic are easily dismissed by the left. After all, everyone on the right is a racist and a supporter of genocidal Israel.

    Howver, Bobb’s Magic Black Invincibility Cloak is NOT sufficient protection against evidence of anti-LGBTQ sentiments. Which is why he had to be shifted into a less visible position… especially as firing Bobb would have laid open Google to accusations and thus confirmation of Google being racist. Since no other motivation is possible in the firing of a black person.

  17. @GB:

    Genocidal Israel has some clout too, you know 🙂

    Ask Gerald Bull or the crew of the Good Ship USS Liberty.

    Let’s not pretend that Jews don’t have actual serious power and willingness to use it. Not all Jews and not everywhere. But when things get serious they tend to give as good as they take + Interest (heh). Which is great. So should we all.

    Plucky little nation of Kibbutzim Citizen Soldiers making the desert bloom. More like 300 Pound Gorilla today in its neighbourhood — for which neighbours bear much blame true… and 500lb Gorilla in Big Tech and Intelligence/Surveillance/Deep State stuff.

    But it could be the Deviants, true.

  18. USS Liberty was near or in a war zone. And then of course there are those all too common incidents where Americans kill other Americans in war zones, aka friendly fire, blue on blue, “short” rounds in artillery, bad coordinates entered into smart bombs, all those things that make war and even civil war a pleasant predictable affair. But you have an axe to grind. Not your circus, remember?

    Regarding Gerald Bull; well don’t make advanced artillery for the Iraqis IIRC. Or as others have found, don’t make nukes for the Iranians. Tough neighborhood. Like Hong Kong.

    Can Do! Zaphod Can Do!

  19. “Perhaps Bobb was “punished” (sort of) because the founders of Google are jewish.”

    One of them is a post-Soviet migrant whose family settled here rather than in Israel. The other’s a faculty brat from Ann Arbor.

    Larry Page’s parents were on the faculty at Michigan State, in East Lansing. His mother is Jewish, his father is not, and he was raised with no religion. Brin is also a faculty brat, his father was a professor in Russia and later in Maryland. Brin also is not a practicing Jew and his current wife is not Jewish. Neither man is notable for attachment to Jewish causes and interests.

  20. @Om:

    Perhaps you can go fact check the USS Liberty Veterans’ Association. It was their circus.

    https://www.usslibertyveterans.org/

    “On June 8, 1967 the USS Liberty was cruising in the Mediterranean in International waters ordered to monitor the Israeli-Arab war. In the morning the ship was circled a dozen times by low flying Nord propeller “boxcars” at mast height with Israeli designation. The planes flew at mast height; the men on the ship could see the teeth of the pilots as they smiled. They waved at them. The ship was flying a 4’ x 7’ American flag; it stood straight out on a clear, breezy day. The ship had large letter designation on the bow GTR-5. The attack by unmarked Israeli planes (Israel says the attack was an accident – the ship was an Egyptian horse carrier – less than 1/2 the size of the USS Liberty) commenced in the afternoon in International waters. After the attack with cannon, rockets, napalm and torpedo fire; the torpedo boats came back and machine gunned the life rafts as they were thrown overboard (a war crime according to International Law). 34 men were killed and 171wounded (out of a crew of 291) this day by the Israelis. The men on board the ship call it murder. Captain Ward Boston was given one week to conduct an investigation of the attack. Before he died Ward Boston signed an affidavit stating that the attack on the USS Liberty was deliberate.
    Many American intelligence servicemen have come forward stating they overheard the Israelis identifying the ship as American. I do not believe the Israeli government – I believe it is lying.”

    Goddamn Antisemitic US Navy Lying Basterds… I mean Mistakes Were Made in the Fog of War.

    Looks like some Industrial Strength Derring Do Can Do to me… but what would I know?

  21. Zaphod:

    1967. Six Day War. War is still hell. Still not your circus. Sucks to be you.

  22. @Om:

    A Holy Black Object gets semi-cancelled for making the novice error of saying ‘Jew’ instead of just the OK to take a Free Shot But Only from the Left Mind You ‘Israeli’ or better yet ‘Zionist’ and there’s a huge effort here to convince ourselves that the Google Gays and Trannies took him down.

    What’s wrong with Jews defending their own and throwing their weight around when someone pisses them off?

    Talk about mental contortions.

  23. In defense of Mr. Bobb, he’s merely believing the incendiary trash that has been spewed endlessly and repeatedly about this conflict by Hamas and the Palestinian Authority, and picked up by the global media and spewed globally non-stop.
    Why shouldn’t he (and millions like him—Jews and Israelis, too, BTW) believe it?

    It would be a miracle if he (and they) didn’t. (After all, Islam is the religion of peace—and Hamas and the PA are only trying to regain their land, achieve “justice”, kick out the colonialist usurper, etc., etc.):

    https://blazingcatfur.ca/2021/05/31/canadian-imam-younus-kathrada-the-muslims-enmity-towards-the-jews-is-just-and-logical/

    FWIW, here’s a long but cogent and impressive corrective, from a Palestinian journalist based in Israel—i.e., from someone who knows what he’s talking about—that should but probably won’t have much of an impact….
    People’s minds—driven by their emotions—-have been “made up” (or made up for them….)

  24. Re: Israeli attack on USS Liberty.

    That attack was no accident; it was intentional.
    What I still do not understand is why the Israelis attacked that ship.

  25. That attack was no accident; it was intentional.

    The attack was an accident. Michael Oren has delineated quite precisely the misunderstandings incorporated into it.

    What I still do not understand is why the Israelis attacked that ship.

    They had no reason to attack it, which is why people like Donald Neff resorted to fanciful speculation .

  26. Zaphod,

    “Let’s not pretend that Jews don’t have actual serious power and willingness to use it.”

    A nation’s willingness to use what power it has in defense of its citizen’s lives is a positive attribute. To suggest that it requires an apology for its use or that, the use of that power renders an equivalence with the attacker is, at the least, an indication of moral confusion.

    At worst, it is a moral abomination. As it is in the case of a deeply hypocritical Islam.

    Barry Meislin,

    Anyone who actually believes that Islam is a religion of peace is a moron. As, even if ignorant of Islam’s tenets, the repeated and consistent behavior of devout Muslims puts the lie to that assumption.

    Anyone who claims to believe that Islam is a religion of peace is either willfully blind or a liar. In either case, they are enabling terrorism and thus complicit in it.

  27. @JohnTyler:

    Most plausible theory I’ve read is that it was a Joint US/Israel attempt to create a false flag Causus Belli for a US Mediterranean fleet immediate retaliatory strike against Egypt — got warned off by the Russians and they thought better of it.

    I tend to discount the ‘Israeli War Crimes’ radio intercepts theory given that that would have been buried anyway.. plus probably did not happen.. Some more stuff maybe in 73 during initial panic.

    Given that they flew around it with surveillance aircraft and it was flying the flag and looked nothing like anything Egyptian, had military markings — and then the way the crew were mistreated afterwards and the whole thing brushed under the carpet, it stinks. Then again, so did the Jonathan Pollard Case. Strong rumor that Israel traded the Pollard espionage material to Soviets for more emigres –> Soviets learned stuff US didn’t want them to know and were also able to identify US agents given Pollard told Soviets things that US knew that Soviets didn’t want them to know. Not to mention them helping Chinese with fighter aircraft development — another story for another day.

    Israel is a Country. Countries do shitty things. I happen to like the existence of Israel. On the whole it is good for the security and moral improvement of the Jews (Zionist Founders said they needed some more of both, and who am I to argue?). So, Long Live Israel! But preferably at Israel’s expense in blood and treasure than that of Americans or the Rest of the West who really shouldn’t have a dog in these Nasty Little Ancient Middle Eastern Tribal Blood Feuds. Frankly I don’t give a damn about Arab or Persian blood and treasure and welcome to attrit them to taste.

  28. Most plausible theory I’ve read

    You need to read better material (or acquire better judgment).
