Alt-right Twitter and Watch High Heel Homicide (2017)4chan's Politically Incorrect board are abuzz after reports that Google fired the engineer behind the infamous anti-diversity "manifesto"that took the company by the storm over the weekend.
SEE ALSO: Yes, that controversial Google diversity rant matters. Like, really matters.James Damore, a software engineer who allegedly wrote the memo suggesting "biological causes" prevent more women from getting jobs in tech, confirmed the firing over email to Bloomberg. Recodealso reported he had been let go, according to unnamed sources.
Google's move enraged right-wing tweeps, such as former Breitbart editor and conservative political commentator Ben Shapiro, who called the company's managers "corporate fascists":

Alt-right commentators also sprung into action.
One of them, named Jack Posobiac, who describes himself as special projects director for a group called Citizens for Trump, expressed a passionate defence of Damore, saying he was fired "for writing about Google's echo chamber of viewpoints":

Fellow right-wingers have created a crowdfunding campaignto raise $60,000 "for the financial and potentially legal assistance of [the] former senior Google engineer" James Damore.
The campaign is hosted on crowdfunding platform WeSearchr, which previously collected funds to support an investigation to prove that newly-elected French President Emmanuel Macron is gay.
Then, the meme war started.
A distorted version of "Google" logo -- rearranged to spell "Goolag", in reference to Soviet Russia's "gulag" prison camps -- started to pop up on Twitter:

As it often happens with these Twitter campaigns, the "Goolag" one originated on 4chan /pol/ board, the hotbed of the alt-right, which was on fire last night.
One user urged members of the board to troll @Google on Twitter with the meme:
Another post suggested "digging shit" on Google's board of directors:
The news that James Damore was fired immediately triggered several calls for action.
"I think it's time for a raid /pol/," said the anonymous user:
Another suggested boycotting Chrome:
But the more thorough plan of action came from a user who dropped a picture of a mannequin shooting target with Chrome's logo:
This guy claimed several agents on 4chan who are working on reverse engineering the Google algorithm (good luck with that). In phase 1, the user calls on people to "make as many fake things as you can", such as making a bunch of fake Google accounts with random names, etc... to overload the Google data mines.
"After you make a shit ton of websites (all run by google), try to DDOS as many of those sites/servers that google is running. I know we have some really talented DDOSers here, so lets put them to use," the guy said.
If it sounds crazy to target the single most trafficked site on the internet with a Distributed Denial of Service attack, it's because it is.
Google has 15 large datacentres all over the world and in these datacentres are more than 2.5 million servers.
If someone decides to start a DDoS attack on Google, the malicious traffic will be simply split by geographic locations then filtered, so its damage will be significantly limited.
And even if someone manages to put down one datacentre -- well there are 14 more where everyone else will be directed. Only the attacker and Google staff will know about the attack.
But the plan doesn't stop there.
In the comments, the guy dropped a Pepe the Frog meme and laid out phase 2 of the plan of action, involving collecting data about all Google employees:
"Plan 2 starts with data collection of any and all Google employees. I know there are also several people who are working on this, but you guys should start getting into social media and any online data you can get your hands on about these employees. Search for the dirtiest stuff you can find, and then search for the stuff that's a little dirtier. We want as much dirt as we can on these scumbags.
After we find the data, we leak every last drop to every large news organization in the country. We want all of this google shit everywhere over the news (and yes that includes C(uck)NN and others). Since Phase 1 will damage Google's economic status (and yes, it WILL do that), phase 2 is targeting the social status of every employee at Google. This will likely result in mass firings (lol). We want as many people out of Google for phase 3.These phases should take some time, but trust us, they will work.Stay posted for phase 3
