You're continuing to give him the attention he seeks.

He wrote that memo to get attention. Now he is going to parlay it into a career through publicity.

You are assisting him quite well. I'm sure he appreciates it.

Not really about him anymore..it's about the ideas he represents--he's become a meme.

Actually, I don't really know his personal stance--not sure it matters?

The Conservatives and the Alt/right have adopted him..and it looks like he's enjoying the ride.

OP, James Damond thanks you for giving him attention. Until your thread, I had no idea who he was. Surely his 15 minutes are up.

Default The Rise of a Alt/right Icon-The James Damore Story
.
Why are you calling him a Racist (or a Nazi)?

I read your link and didn't see anything that was remotely Racist to describe James Damore.

Sounded like he might disagree with Google or some of Googles policies.

Huh? No...his 'Manifesto' was a bit misogynistic--and the start of some serious sniping between the left and the right. Racist? I wouldn't know.

Some say he is a hero for "telling it like it is"---I'm not one of them

Then why call him a "ALT-Right" icon, which suggests (per the hundreds of comments on this board) that he is a Nazi or Racist, or both.
