The Matrix is a system, Neo, and that system is our enemy. But when you are inside and you look around, what do you see; businessmen, lawyers, teachers, carpenters. The minds of the very people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of the system and that makes them our enemy.
You have to understand that most of these people are not ready to be unplugged and many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system that they will fight to protect it.
I apologize for breaking up the continuity of last week’s post with this one today, but I felt it was necessary to address the recent firing of James Damore by his employers, Google, for allegedly breaking company conduct codes for raising many of the issue I and other’s in the Red Pill community and the Manosphere have been dissecting for a long time now. I generally don’t like to get too wrapped up in current events until more information develops about an incident I think is relevant to how the Red Pill (as it correctly applies to intersexual dynamics) is perceived in mainstream society. It’s easy to make mistakes so if I miss anything here please feel free to correct me or add to things in the comment thread.
To the best of what I’ve been able to ascertain James Damore posted what mainstream media wants to define as a 10 page “manifesto” (really a ‘memo’) about why it is he believes certain gender/sexual stereotypes persist in the tech field. After reading it, there is really nothing all that shocking from a Red Pill perspective in his essay. If anything, Damore is still deluded by Blue Pill conditioned idealistic hopes for gender equalism not dissimilar to those held by the MRM. Really there’s nothing in this PDF that the Manosphere and even the sexual sciences haven’t been revealing for over a decade now. Damore just had the balls to post it on what Google promoted as an anonymous inter-corporate intranet forum, ostensibly established to allow their employees to voice their opinions and concerns about the company in anonymity. Google is only one of many multi-national companies to have these forums set up in some lame effort to make it seem as if they value the opinions and engagement of their employees.
Now we see just how private and dangerous these forums really are to the livelihood of their employees. To be fair, I doubt that Damore is the first guy to get fired for expressing himself on one of these forums. I’m sure there’ve been countless other men shown the door by many companies with a lower profile than Google. What made Damore a target wasn’t so much Google from a corporate sense, but rather the ‘progressive’ feminine-primary corporate culture that is endemic to Google. Once Damore had published his very well-thought op-ed about the fundamental biological, psychological and neurological differences between men and women, and how this affects innovation and employment in the tech industry, the intra-corporate witch hunt was on for the guy who anonymously posted. No doubt Google code monkeys would have little problem identifying and doxxing James, but where this witch hunt stemmed from was far more likely his co-workers and fueled by the egalitarian-equalist, postmodernist mindset that pervades Google.
This is a snapshot of the Google corporate culture. The last gal, Danielle Brown is Google’s “Diversity VP”.
The official line from Google is that Damore’s “manifesto” constitutes a breach of Google’s code of conduct. Yet for all of Google’s insisting that they respect the right’s of speech within the company, Damore’s doxxing came from within Google’s corporate culture:
The employee memo — which was up for days without action by Google — went viral within the search giant’s internal discussion boards this weekend, with some decrying it and others defending it. Sources said the company’s top execs have been struggling with how to deal with it and the fallout, trying to decide if its troubling content crossed a line.
Apparently it did. In a memo to employees titled “Our words matter,” Google CEO Sundar Pichai said that the employee — who has been named on Twitter, although his identity could not be verified — had violated its code of conduct. (I am not publishing his name, because he — and others who disagree with him — have been threatened with violence online.)
Well, apparently James was doxxed identified and was threatened with violence both from within and without Google now. Thus, the predictable constitutional excuse that ‘you can say what you want, but you’ll be held accountable’ and Google was within its rights to fire Damore doesn’t hold water when Google promoted its internal forum as an anonymous place for employees to provide their input so the company can get honest feedback. I’m not a lawyer, but I think Google’s got a really sticky situation on their hands in that their actions technically constitute entrapment.
Furthermore, I get the feeling that Google’s campus is not unlike many other large corporate cultures – a core of skilled labor that actually puts numbers on the board as far as productivity is concerned working within a larger bureaucracy of basically superfluous positions that define the company’s corporate identity to the world around it. The writing on the wall now, that this skilled labor pool is seeing, is that this bureaucracy set of the company can have them fired for daring to voice a dissenting reality to their own ego-investments. How long before that talent pool opts for a more secure jobs in a corporate culture that looks less like the “people’s” revolution in China?
Now, all that said, James Damore, unwittingly or deliberately, has fallen into the trust-trap that I outlined back in 2013 in It’s Their Game. And while I think he’s got a pretty good case against Google, he had to have understood to some degree that Google owns his Frame. Perhaps this was his intent all along (nowhere have I seen how long he’d been employed there), but he was either very naive or very cunning in his in publishing his ‘memo’. Maybe he thinks this is his Atlas Shrugged moment, or maybe he actually bought the lie that Google (any company) cared about his employee feedback – that fact remains that the Feminine Imperative has assimilated every aspect of western society. The frame in which the overwhelming majority of men depend upon in their corporate, career, job, lives is one into which the Feminine Imperative seized social control over long ago.
For as much as it seems that standing up to systemic, calculated, postmodern ignorance is a heroic act of Red Pill aware defiance, never forget the insistent frame of the system you find yourself in. A lot of men in the ‘sphere like to tout the virtues of being ‘anti-fragile’ enough to weather the inevitable retaliations of the postmodern herd for their dissenting world view, and that may well be the case for a few men, but remember, everyone, with rare exception, is fragile about something – family, respect, integrity, personal relationships, the people who depend on him as well as his revenue (and the capacity to generate more) all apply.
Feminine Correctness
Every social, religious and corporate institution has been saturated with feminine-correctness. It’s important for Red Pill aware men to make this distinction because it will inform your decision making for as long as you remain in most corporate environments. I know many ideological and political factions like to trot out the idea about how they are against “Political Correctness”. That term, PC, has been with us for a long time now and its definition has been passed back and forth along political lines almost interchangeably for decades. Whatever it is one side isn’t allowed to address in public discourse becomes politically incorrect conversation. However, the distinction that conveniently (calculatedly) goes unnoticed is what I described as the Sisterhood Über Alles in my most recent book. Feminine Correctness permeates both sides of the political spectrum, but this is only one social arena amongst many where the appeasement of women’s perspectives as being the only correct perspective has been saturated.
Anyone who’s read my essay, Losing My Religion regarding how the Feminine Imperative has covertly (and recently overtly) assimilated authority of church culture – and ultimately doctrine – in mainstream religion can get an idea of what I’m talking about here with regard to corporate culture. The corporate workplace, big and small, has similarly been assimilated over the course of over six decades now; to the point that a feminine-primary influence has become a de facto authority under the premise of diversity, gender-neutrality and combating a presumed endemic male-sexism. All of which feed into the default, feminine-correct, presumption of female victimhood. Thus, we see the rise of the ubiquitous, almost universally female staffed, Human Resources departments whose true purpose is not about hiring, company morale or corporate culture, but rather an enforcement of feminine-correct initiatives and bylaws intended to give unquestioned authority to the feminine-correct social narrative.
In our modern corporate culture we’ve seen a meta-scale enforcement of what I termed Overseers in the Locker Room in my essay, Male Space:
Overseers in the Locker Room
The second purpose in the goal of female inclusion into male space is really a policing of the thought dynamics and attitudes of the men in that space. When women are allowed access to the locker room the dynamic of the locker room changes. The locker room can take many different shapes: the workplace environment, the sports team, the group of all-male coders, the primarily male scientific community, the ‘boys club’, the group of gamer nerds at the local game store, even strip clubs and the sanctuary you think your ‘man cave’ is – the context is one of women inserting themselves into male space in order to enforce the dictates of feminine social primacy.
When the influence of feminine-primacy is introduced into social settings made up mainly by men and male-interests, the dynamics and purpose of that group changes. The purpose becomes less about the endeavor itself and more about adherence to the feminine-inclusionary aspect of that endeavor. It starts to become less about being the best or most passionate at what they do, and more about being acceptable to the influence of the Feminine Imperative while attempting maintaining the former level of interest in the endeavor.
Men unaccustomed to having women in their midst generally react in two ways; According to their proper feminized conditioning, they embrace the opportunity to impress these ‘trailblazing’ women (hoping to be found worthy of intimacy) with their enthusiastic acceptance of, and identification with, their feminine overseer(s), or they become easy foils of an “out moded” way of thinking that the new ‘in-group’ happily labels them with.
Once the feminine-primary in-group dynamic is established a ‘feminine correct’ social frame follows. This feminine correction restructures the priorities of goals, and validates any accomplishments, in terms of how they reflect upon the feminine as a whole. Thus any in-group success is perceived as a feminine success in male space, while in-group failures or simple mediocrity is either dismissed entirely or blamed on out-group men’s failure to comply with, or the rejection of, the Feminine Imperative’s ‘correcting’ influence on the in-group.
In all honesty, Jame Damore’s rationales in his ‘memo’ were very measured, bordering on Blue Pill, in his attempts to preempt what he obviously knew would be a workplace viral insult. However, his experience is a high-profile illustration of how corporate culture has been taken hostage by a mindset fed and raised by the Feminine Imperative. When you consider that this is the corporate culture of a company dubiously responsible for global access to information – ostensibly legitimate, authoritative information by the larger populace – you begin to see the extent to which the imperative as assumed control not just of our social discourse, but the unquestionable authority to direct the acceptability of personal belief and critical thought.
When I wrote The First Female President, I attempted to reveal just how globally extensive the reach of the Feminine Imperative really was. So encompassing is the presumed understanding of feminine-correctness, so ensaturated is it into our societal subconscious that we tend to take its presence for granted until Hillary (the she) was denied the presidency (to the he). Then the societal scale outrage comes to the surface because what was presumed to be correct is not a universally accepted foreknowledge as their social subconscious had presumed was believed.
That outrage was on a geopolitical social scale, yet it was due to the same presumptions that cause the outrage we see over a kid at Google who dared to say ‘no’ not just to Google’s corporate culture, but to all corporate cultures that have been subsumed by the Feminine Imperative for over 60 years now. That any company would need a Vice President of Diversity is an indictment of how deeply embedded the Feminine Imperative is in corporate culture.

Warren Farrell once said that a woman’s strength is in her perceived weakness. By giving women agency, this illusion is shattered. What is so strange is not how many women want to maintain this illusion, but how many men also want to maintain this illusion. Perhaps this is just men seeking female approval. However, if it were that simple, I think many men would only act this way when women are around. This impulse seems to go much deeper.
One of the interesting points of the current culture is how the concepts of Redpill and Conservative are increasingly linked. To make it personal… it was anti-male sentiment that made me question my “feminism,” and then reject that feminism, and then campaign against it. That woke me up into Game. And that lead me to gender roles (via David Deida). Which put me on common ground with conservatives there… and increasingly in other areas of my life. The shitstorm here is mostly about Gender.

As an older white male with many years in tech, getting a job at a company like Google is a pipe dream. Out of the 30+ We’ll matching jobs that I have applied for there, not once have they ever even responded to me to even say “no thanks”. By being honest about the diversity questions or “choosing not to answer” they have profiled me for automatic rejection. Thanks Google. Hypocrisy is alive and well with there.

@Neon,
I need to keep reminding myself that we are rationalizing animals with limited rational capability. White knights are simply rationalizing their biological impulse to protect women. They are interpreting the corporate environment as being hostile to women because of their biological impulse to protect women. This impulse would not make sense if they consciously understood how sheltered women in the corporate world are. I suppose you have to chose rationalizing your biological impulses (i.e. blue pilled) or acting on your rational knowledge (i.e. red pilled).
Footnote: both Molyneux and Peterson interviewed Damore; my guess is they each offered some fatherly (elder-to-younger) advice and guidance. This is an excellent example of men helping men in a bottom-up approach: what you are seeing really is.

Populism is based on class warfare of the LC and LMC against the UC and UMC. Socialism uses the envy of the lower classes to incite the warfare. Sometimes populism is used to attack businesses that resist socialism…we see this in the attacks of populists against Monsanto most recently. (I’m still agnostic about the GMO “problem”.) When big businesses make mistakes, which everybody does, the problems that are caused are typically large. Socialists then use these mistakes to leverage regulation against all business. Of course, regulation is a fixed cost and harms smaller businesses much more than large businesses. Populism… Read more »

If those companies violate their own policies, tho, those companies may be liable. And you might be able to sell the shit to farmers, so you might be able to turn those lemons into lemonade. Practically, companies have lawyers, so you have to be able to retain a better lawyer along with having the facts and law on your side. This means giving up maybe 60% of damages to your lawyer.

The various .gov may be willing to prop up the core of Google to have access to their data, but the cash flow suggests to me it’s still about selling clicks, and with Adsense that data goes pretty deep. The trouble is, the original search / ranking algols have been… Read more »
“Punch all the nazis”… Better start punching yourself, sad sack. Looking at that glum Google family picture, I can only quote the great David Crosby: Bunch of dicks (however limp) on autostroke
The funny part in Google is that the drive for “Diversity” will only improve the data of a Pareto distribution on who actually does meaningful work, which is to say it will solidify that 80% of what ACTUALLY gets accomplished, meaning writing code, will in fact be done by only 20% of the workforce at best and probably markedly less over time. It’s likely to get more skewed. I know in my business we have such a distribution but there are other layers to it as well. for if an employee is doing bad work, we have additional costs on… Read more »

I cannot say it loud or long enough, if you read and like Rollo, you have to, HAVE TO, start watching some Peterson content on youtube It might be a good idea to download the videos, since YouTube has been purging bad thinkers for a while, and Peterson might get dropped down the memory hole in the not too distant future. As with Google, YouTube is becoming less and less about core business, but there isn’t much competition. Vimeo is trying but isn’t there yet. Hopefully we won’t have to go back to the 1990’s getting such things via anonymous… Read more »
@kfg I also noted that women flipped the script Contrarily, I noted that socialism flipped the script and invited women to drive the bus. I have actual evidence for this from the writings of socialists, but your bullshit surely is weightier. The very masculine men of Sparta defeated Athens, and then they fell, according to an Athenian due to the feminization that absolute victory engendered. According to Greene, it wasn’t feminization that undid Sparta, but corruption…they had no experience with wealth and accompanying corruption, so they had no defense against the pernicious effects of corruption, so that little Thebes eventually… Read more »

“The ancient Romans . . .”
. . . had no civilization, because they had no women. So they took some.
had no civilization…those roman roads and bridges must have erected themselves, lol…surely the reason that the romans took conquered women as slaves must have been because roman men always sired sons, lol
There is no Rome, there are many Romes
I choose to view Rome through a geographical/legal lens.
Agent P It’s not the least bit surprising that a week before Google went out and shot the subject of this post they banned Peterson from Google and youtube for undisclosed violation of terms of service. He was reinstated after a big PR dust up but they have never come forward to explain anything about their actions. Duh, I should read more before commenting. Yeah, they purged him then reinstated him, no they won’t explain the “why”. Probably because it was a combination of an algol plus an SJW; they can’t expalin the algol for various reasons and they don’t… Read more »

“But Google’s SJW mettle will indeed be tested when – as Cernovich wisecracks – some Muslim employee asks Google to adopt Islamic practices in the name of “inclusivity” and “diversity” which conflict with feminist or LGBT groupthink.” My introduction to “the red pill” was through the French author Michel Houellebecq in the mid 2000s. He’s already scoped out this territory. Feminists will cave to Islam. It’s already happening in Europe. The thing to realize is that the Left is more animated by a hatred of the Western trad-Right than it is by its own vision. In the West, we’ve had… Read more »

“…those roman roads and bridges must have erected themselves”
Was, by any chance, after the men had moved women into their crude soldier camp on a hill?
And you are the one who accuses me of temporal parochialism.
“I choose to view Rome through a geographical/legal lens.”
An elephant is long, skinny and wraggly, like a snake.
“Feminists will cave to Islam.”
Feminists invited Islam. However I note that the idea of Islamizing the West was first popularized among socialists following WWI.
An elephant is long, skinny and wraggly, like a snake.
Nonsense. It’s large and solid, like a wall. Shows what you know.
@ Agent P
Actually I think Blax has the better argument about it not mattering a whole lot whose boot is on your throat, be it Cossack or Commissar, Orangeman vs. IRA Hard Man, etc.
For once abusing my fake namesake, I give you this from a Great Book by a Great Book Man Writer:
“Revolutions have never lightened the burden of tyranny: they have only shifted it to another shoulder.”
-George Bernard Shaw, “The Revolutionist’s Handbook” (supplement to his play Man and Superman, c. 1903)
The term “wraggly” to describe a snake comes from Lewis Carroll, in Sylvie and Bruno. A bit before the character Arthur puts forward an argument as to why the rich have a right to their wealth, even if its foundation was ill gotten, they inherited it, and waste it on pure idleness. It is fair and just as there is no debt attached to the wealth, any possible debt having already been paid in excess.
The idleness in and of itself, however, is a sin, because a debt of good works is owed to God.
Shaw was one of those who, post WWI, was at least intrigued by the idea of Islamizing the West.
Yes, the bulk of Google’s recenue Is from their Adwords program which compromises paid search, display and video. Adsense is the publisher end of it through which the ads are displayed onto publisher websites. Much of their systems were purchased by them and not bought originally by Google. The Doubleclick and YouTube platforms are two good examples. It’s a tangled mess and is taking them years to integrate some of these systems. Their customer support for paid products is mediocre at best. Google has a lot of chinks in its armor and is very concerned with the competition from Facebook… Read more »
In my second graph in the last comment it should say not built originally by Google instead of “not bought.”
@kfg . . .it wasn’t feminization that undid Rome, but corruption… The feminized Romans should never have given women the vote or allowed them in the military. The Norse had a complex understanding of masculinity…Thor was muscular and chaotic…not a builder…a conqueror…and Loki was clever and chaotic…a destroyer…yet Odin was wise and dominated both. Odysseus was the Greek equivalent of Loki in terms of subtlety, yet Odysseus owned an island of rocks with little agriculture (Ithaca). Odysseus was a leader of powerful, world-class men, so it’s hard to make the case that he was feminized. Why didn’t he get a… Read more »

Usually the first round of violations Google flags you with are automated. Those tools can be very faulty. I know from experience. Peterson was likely blacklisted via alutomation and reinstated only after complaining. It’s less likely… Read more »

Liz Fong-Jones would be so triggered, xie would burst out in tears while trying to punch you.
AsperyGamer:
So, what is masculinity and are women the property of men or not?
Did someone take your fidget spinner away?
“Odysseus was the Greek equivalent of Loki . . .”
In the pantheon, you also have Hermes, the trickster, who was also the tekton and skinny runner.
” . . . what is masculinity . . .”
The ability to take and make.
” . . . are women the property of men . . .”
If they take and make them.
@AR: “Liz Fong-Jones would be so triggered . . .”
Zhing!
“Did someone take your fidget spinner away?”
Ah! Yes. That would explain it.

kfg Shaw was one of those who, post WWI, was at least intrigued by the idea of Islamizing the West. Was there ever any really, really stupid idea that George Bernie Shaw didn’t at least flirt with? Last year one of my older relatives wanted to watch “My Fair Lady”, so I found a DVD and provided companionship. Man, is it different to watch that with The Glasses on. Still good music, but – oneitis, equalitarianism, blank slate thinking (“Why can’t a woman, be more like a man!”), it’s just astounding. We all recall that comes from Shaw’s play Pygmalion,… Read more »
Anon Reader, your comment about James Damore wanting only to “dialog” with Google and just wanted “people to listen” reminds me of Scott Aaronson’s famous “comment 171”:
http://www.scottaaronson.com/blog/?p=2091#comment-326664
““My Fair Lady” . . . Man, is it different to watch that with The Glasses on.”
And on the Ancien Régime side of the spectrum, despite being an atheist, the religious content of Carroll’s Sylvie and Bruno doesn’t bother me, but boy does all the Blue Pill, Victorian romanticism have me digging my nails into my chair arms from time to time.
@rugby11 The crux of that article is that “there aren’t more women in tech because men won’t help them!” Really. Then the dude got fired, and the author realized that he might be subject to a defamation suit, so he did a “more, later!” update to try to cover.
Want to ping Google really hard, right now? If you’re in a Google Fiber zone, send them an email that you aren’t interested in a service that handles free speech that way. They’re counting on serious sign-ups to pay for the investment.

For some 30 years men’s groups have been blogging and ranting about feminist successes, the latter has been due to careful planning and teamwork which has seen every key position,(the doers and organisers)taken over by them.While this has been going on men have been fighting amongst themselves totally ineptly up to the point where winning the battle in any logical manner is impossible. What men have to do is to change and become more like women in the sense that feeling must trump logic,if you feel it,then it is.Moan and complain about the feelings you have and don’t let companies… Read more »
Damore simply called their bluff by doing exactly the kind of thing they are daring all men to do.
Hopefully he was calculating and cunning enough to plan this and will win enough in a law suite to support himself for the rest of his life against google for entrapment, wrongful termination, character deformation, slander, libel, discrimination, and whatever punitive damages can be compensated for.
The Red Pill should be established as a religion so it to can be protected by the constitution.
Damore is no fool. He filed a complaint with the NLRB before he was fired.

It will be very interesting to see how this is dealt with. There are multiple issues here including entrapment and the fact that google violated their own published policy to provide anonymity. Their violation of their own policy reeks of premeditated intentional discrimination against and injury to white males. Why don’t they expose and terminate the characters who rant against heterosexuality and white males? Their organization is full of these types. Clearly they are practicing discrimination and character assignation against specifically white males.
Yes GB Shaw entertained some goofy ideas, no doubt. But that Revolution quip is a good one. And the play “Man and Superman” is, in its 1903 way, about the FI (Anna) throwing over her beta romantic provider-suitor Octavio for the brash DGAF loudmouth Alpha, Tanner, who resists, up to a point. Shaw calls what we know as the FI “The Life Force,” the means by which humans reproduce and advance. Typical of him, you can debate that back and forth after. (After you sit through a play which, if done intact, runs five or six hours. It includes the… Read more »
