Society's Child
LinkedIn prides itself on being the highly professional, troll-free antithesis to all other social-media platforms. But on Wednesday, the company's own internal meetings looked more like a "dumpster fire" Facebook comments section than anything on the company's famously civil website.
Earlier this week, the career networking website announced that it would hold a virtual global town hall to address the nationwide social unrest sparked by the Minneapolis police killing of George Floyd. The meeting was billed as an event to discuss racial inequality by "reflecting on our own biases, practicing allyship, and intentionally driving equitable actions."
"We'll spend most of our time together in open discussion, so please consider bringing questions or experiences you'd like to share," read the invitation email to staff.
LinkedIn employees followed those instructions precisely. The results were a disaster.

The media praises violent left-wing rioters, looters and arsonists while vilifying police officers who are putting their lives on the line every day.
Thanks to the media, Antifa terrorists and BLM thugs have become emboldened and are attacking police officers without fear of reprisal.

On May 1, she made the torturous decision to close it forever after keeping it on life support for weeks after being closed due to the COVID-19 lockdowns.
"There were just too many things against us," McGinty told The Washington Post, choking back tears.
McGinty's story is tragically all too common.
America's small businesses, the backbone of its economy, have been ravaged by the COVID-19 lockdowns.
A recent survey by Main Street America found that 7.5 million small businesses in America are at risk of closing their doors for good. A more recent survey showed that even with federal loans, close to half of all small business owners say they'll have to shut down for good.
The toll has already been severe. In New York alone, stay-at-home orders have forced the permanent closure of more than 100,000 small businesses.
The slave trade, which saw at least 12 million Africans shipped to North America over a period of 400 years, was a brutal, debased industry founded on the principle of putting profit before human rights. The money amassed from it went towards developing many of our renowned universities and institutions and the construction of towns and cities across the UK. But it was not only the Atlantic slave trade that contributed to our nation's wealth. You cannot walk the streets of Britain today without noticing the hallmarks of our imperialist past. The British Empire exploited people from India to Barbados and the evidence of it is laid bare in the bricks and mortar of our urban architecture and street names. Our country is literally a museum to its imperialist past.
So, what are we to do, start tearing down our town halls, art galleries, and university buildings? How far are we to take the destruction of our material world in order to meet our contemporary standards? We have seen the attempt to rewrite history in recent years in Ukraine, for example, where Lenin statues have been toppled in a bid to wipe the Soviet leader and his Communist dogma, from the pages of history. Or in the Baltic states, where several monuments to the Red Army have been removed as a way of denouncing Soviet rule, despite their purpose being to celebrate victory over Nazism. The past, whether we like it or not, happened. It cannot be erased. There will always be statues that were on the wrong side of history; there will always be some who do not agree with the glorification of a particular figure.

A demonstrator holds up a sign during an anti-annexation protest in Tel Aviv on June 6th, 2020.
Thousands of protesters gathered in Tel Aviv on Saturday for a demonstration organized by left-wing activists and NGOs in Israel, under the banner "No to annexation, no to occupation, yes to peace and democracy".
Some protesters waved Palestinian flags, while others held signs reading "Palestinian Lives Matter" and "Stop Apartheid." Demonstrators wore masks and maintained distances between one another in an effort to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
Towards the end of the protest, Israeli media reported that police clashed with a small group of protesters, violently arresting at least five people, and assaulting a Haaretz photographer.
US Senator Bernie Sanders addressed the protesters in a video address, saying "it has never been more important to stand up for justice, and to fight for the future we all deserve."
"Defunding the police" is not an issue the Democratic Party supports, in fact, they'd like to sweep the whole thing under the rug pronto. But grassroots activists are not that easily placated. They're not interested in the Democrat's half-loaf reforms, they want a whole new system that eliminates traditional policing altogether. They want to revolutionize the way that communities deal with public safety issues even if it puts citizens at greater risk. Check out this brief exchange between the president of Minneapolis's City Council, Lisa Bender, and CNN's Chris Cuomo on Monday:
Cuomo- "When you say you see someday being police-free that sounds aspirational, a utopian concept where nobody's committing any crime, because as long as these communities are being preyed upon, both from within and without, there's gonna have to be good men and women willing to step up to keep people safe."
Lisa Bender- "I think the idea of having a police-free future is very aspirational, and I am willing to stand with community members who are asking us to think of that as the goal. We recognize that we don't have all the answers about what a police-free future looks like, but our community does. We're committed to engaging with every willing community member in the city of Minneapolis over the next year to identify what safety looks like for you." (CNN)
On Sunday, sports blogger David Gardner tweeted a video of himself asking his Google Home smart speaker: "Do Black lives matter?"
Google's Assistant, which runs on Google Home, responded: "Black Lives Matter. Black people deserve the same freedoms afforded to everyone in this country, and recognizing the injustice they face is the first step towards fixing it."
Comment: Same script different smart device. This is another example of Big Tech companies virtue signaling to boost sales, while they simultaneously "treat staff like animals" and exploit third world countries.

It is spreading to all areas of life, across most of Western culture. Few countries are escaping or avoiding it. No subject is immune. Not even the glory of popular imagination, Science™.














Comment: LinkedIn is caught in the technology trap. That field requires highly-educated, engineering-oriented workers, which currently sorts out to mostly male, and most likely Asian or white, as LinkedIn's own internal report shows. More education initiatives may help some with the diversity issue. But they will put themselves on a slippery slope to corporate failure if merit is not at the top of the list.
