The memo didn't cause self doubt, the memo was intended to inspire others to look for doubt (hence the "lowering the bar"). The memo specifically targeted diversity hires as a lowe…

My sole point in this entire thread is that white supremacy is bad regardless of source. I merely used an extreme example to show you that you were missing the forest for the trees…

No, I'm making a point about white supremacy and you're being pedantic about something tangentially related. It doesn't fucking matter how similar socialism is to communism when wh…

It's a series of tools and components required to fit certain related theories? In carpentry you have many standardized off-the-shelf tools and components (hammers, nails, windows,…

Not sure what point you're trying to make — I live in Boston and the map seems generally accurate. Sometimes it takes longer, sometimes shorter — that's why we use averages. There'…

California is an at-will state, so they could also just fire him for any or no reason. Someone spreading 10-page manifestos internally is generally toxic no matter which opinion th…
