^ this has been destroyed since 2000! Come on now. System is broken. Obviously there should be separation but it's over people. Reality.

Also I wanted to say that almost all the pushback from his firing on Twitter has come from our corner of the web. The MRAs are silent, the MGTOWs are silent. We're the only ones who resist.

I don't deny that, but at what point does it become ridiculous? Saying you think men and women are different? Saying you're proud of being a man? Is that "loose lips?" Saying "dongle?" It's a pretty slippery slope.
Haha. Are you sure that's ALL he tweeted? Let's not be disingenuous now.
I don't mean to be disingenuous, as Tuthmosis already said the guy's behavior wasn't exactly ideal.
But as long as we're defending termination based on loose lips lets define some parameters. One guy already got fired earlier this year for making a dongle joke.
Paula Deen, a southerner who came of age in an America much different than today, lost major corporate sponsorships and saw the end of her brand - even in spite of profuse apologies - for admitting under oath in court that she had used the "N-word" decades ago (one instance was recounting to her husband the story of her being robbed by a black man at gunpoint); this was a lawsuit brought against her from a white woman who basically claimed being a victim of racial discrimination just from bearing witness (the suit was swiftly dismissed by the judge).
Even in spite of that shenanigan, where even the Rev. Jesse Jackson publicly came forth in defense of Paula Deen, her reputation and business empire was thoroughly and irreparably tarnished.
Contrast that story with this Dickinson clown who works for a modern business and technology news site founded by Ivy League yuppies in NYC and that only launched in 2009. This CTO recklessly espoused his personal views via twitter in the most flagrant and unapologetic of terms.
"Jesus got raped by a pack of N*ggers." Slippery slope? No, that's a man who is about to be without a job. No excuses.

Ha, okay so it's even less people.
Not really surprising. Don't be dumb guys. If you're smart play the system into your favor as much as you can then really fuck over the gov't when you move out assets that can move part of a poor country's GDP. Ha.

Do you think a man deserves to get fired for saying the N-word outside of work?
It comes down to whether a private life (one outside of work) exists anymore. If you say he should get fired, then you've given your life to your employer, have you not?
Maybe his tweets were a cry for help in that he wanted to be fired. It doesn't seem like he's too upset by it.
I think a C-level exec is already a slave to the man. You don't make it that far up in the corporate world without selling your soul to the system.

@HC yep.
This comment is going to go over most people's heads. But you guys are hating on the wrong system anyway.
He will get a job, he will be fine and that is exactly why we will never win.

The man didn't just criticize feminists or use the N-word.
I've read through his Twitter feed. He's a fan of the white nationalist site Alt Right. He's hinted at a coming race war. He's basically another Gucci Little Piggy, who he's friends with.
I know a lot of you guys agree with this stuff, and that's fine, but here's the bottom line:
It's weird to complain about Indian people hating on him because he's white when he clearly returns their hatred.
It's a bit like a Nation of Islam member crying racism while talking about white devils, except the roles are reversed. You reap what you sow.
Fuck them both. I only wish this had been a case of mutually assured destruction and the couple that got him fired were also let go.

It's not so much that I want to defend someone like this, it's more that I want to attack these PC whiners who target people professionally in the name of tolerance.

Wow. Go figure. Where's there's smoke, there's fire. Going forward, we should do our due diligence next time we debate some random guy's character.

"I am shocked that so many men here don't have a problem being owned by mastah 24 hours a day, 7 days a week."
It's like trying to explain to white knights about Game. Their head is stuck in the sand of mediocrity they simply can't understand, until they get sideswiped with the following:
-Divorce raped
-Terminated after 19 years working hard and consistent only to NOT receive your retirement package and a fake gold pen to say 'Thanks for your service. Now go fuck off'.
If you're not putting some energy into becoming independent of employers than I feel sorry for you.
If I would have stayed working more corporate jobs I would have more stability I'm sure; however I value the fuck out of this little thing called: Freedom, so I do what I want, when I want and answer to no man, employer or white knighting bitchass 'boss' of my destiny.

Have any of us ever tried getting a Nation of Islam member fired?
Nope. Unlike people on the left, we're able to "live and let live."
So long as you do your job a work, be an asshole or reprobate off the clock. That's your right as a free citizen.
I am shocked that so many men here don't have a problem being owned by mastah 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
You mean you're shocked that there are consequences to your actions?
Really?

This sort of thing will only get worst. The Internet speeds our movement towards the hive mind an keeps a running tally of all of our public and semi-public utterings.
At the same time, people's inability to live an socialize outside of strict rules is only increasing. We see what helicopter parenting and the self-esteem movement has done to a whole generation of kids. Instead of ignoring people you don't like or trying to work out your differences through one-on-one interactions, now the default response is to run to an authority figure and demand "justice."
I've said this before, but feminism is only part of the problem. The other part of the problem is paternalism and the infantilization of our society. The whole world is slowly being child-proofed.

Yeah I already stated on here I have opposed it anonymously and sent it via email to "red pill" guys I know with "don't you forget you're on the clock 24/7".
No I don't think the USA will go bankrupt in 15-30 years. As soon as something becomes consensus information I know it is no longer useful. Hell the debt load decreased in July. Predicting the macro is playing god and no offense to anyone who does this but I don't care about their opinions at all. I have seen this for many years and even guys I respect and know are smart never get it right so there is no reason to debate it. I don't think about it I worry about me and find a solution. So in terms of the economy it officially doesn't matter for me anymore. I'm hedged out. If you know the practical course of action which no one can debate you just spread your assets across to the country you will move to. Done and done.
If the USA gets cut in half I lose some, if it doesn't I win, and if the country I will leave to gets cut in half, I just doubled my buying power when I move. You lock in your FX rate and set up all your accounts for a smooth 0% tax rate to the good OLE USA and set it up to pay taxes in your country of expatriation. The biggest F-you possible to the USA.
Anyway back on topic, I really don't see a need for a philosophical debate on this guy. Fact is you are owned on the clock 24/7 and only a few hundred guys will ever have your back. 850 according to his twitter feed.
I got no reason to make a move like that, do the practical thing. Make as much as you can, hedge out, leave. I like solutions not what if scenarios and unicorns + rainbows.
