From the inside of an SJW-converged corporation:
A former senior Facebook engineer who wrote a memo earlier this year
decrying the social media giant's "political monoculture" told Fox
News on Tuesday night that the company has a "vocal minority" intent
on implementing "social justice policies across our mission."
Brian Amerige, whose last day at Facebook was Friday, told Fox News' "Tucker Carlson Tonight" that "you can't have conversations about ... anything that's a tenet of the social justice ideology, effectively, without being attacked personally." He added that the company's recent policy cracking down on so-called hate speech was a particularly sensitive topic.
"You can't even have conversations about that policy inside the company without having your character attacked -- and I've experienced this personally -- without being called a sexist or a racist or a transphobe or an Islamophobe," said Amerige.
Amerige drew national attention in August when he penned an internal memo, "We Have a Problem With Political Diversity." The memo, which was later leaked to The New York Times, stated that Facebook employees "claim to welcome all perspectives, but are quick to attack — often in mobs — anyone who presents a view that appears to be in opposition to left-leaning ideology."
On Tuesday, Amerige said that Facebook executives had taken his concerns seriously and had worked with him to improve the hate speech policy. However, he said rank-and-file, left-leaning employees did not share his concerns.
"The real concerning thing that’s happening here is that even though this is a minority of employees in the company, unfortunately, I’m not sure that Facebook leadership knows how to push back against them," Amerige said. "They're unbelievably belligerent, demanding and hostile not just toward other employees, but toward Facebook leadership directly."

On a
much smaller scale, this is exactly what happened to Bleeding Cool after they
ran the interview with me. It's what happened to Google with regards to the
James Damore incident and the subsequent aftermath. If a corporation's
executives do not systematically weed out their SJW infestation, the SJWs will
eventually transform their influence into effective control of the corporation,
even when they don't hold the executive positions themselves.
And once SJWs metastasize inside a corporation and they take over HR or the corporate board, the corporation is doomed.
