Are you saying that GitHub should be a containment company? Because once it goes down, these crybullies are just going to spread to other companies due to "diversity concerns". Having the sane programmers run away won't help matters; the battle of ideas has to be constantly waged against the incursion of tin-pot dictators.
If every company one-by-one takes in crybullies and fails, what lesson will businesses learn quickly? Capitalism will adapt where these collectivists apply pressure, but capital doesn't favour the worthy causes but the successful ones. The lesson will be that the smart money bets against the SocJus as an institution, and any that bear it shelter will be dead on their arrival. The market must learn this lesson, otherwise we will fight SocJus the way they wish to be fought. Never directly attack an opponent whose advantage is derived from its position. Instead lure him away from its position thus separating it from its source of strength.
After all to defeat an enemy, one must first disrupt its equilibrium. This cannot be an effect of the main attack; it must take place before the main attack is commenced.
The problem is that if even a couple of these zealots manage to find their way into a company, they can drag that company's name through the mud by convincing them that these "training courses" are good PR for the company and, if denied what they feel is rightfully theirs, to accuse management of any number of discriminatory practices. I agree that capitalism's bottom-line-based response will be to teach those doing the hiring to avoid hiring anyone who might be "dangerous" to the company and only make "safe" hires (hires that are too boring, meek, and sycophantic to ever possibly be SJWs), which will eventually lead to serious lack of innovation and creativity, especially in creative fields.
Now, I appreciate Sun Tzu as much as the next man, but I realize that the enemy is winning this war, and she is winning because she has managed to win battle after battle using Trojan Horse tactics, propaganda, and psychological espionage as weapons. No, a direct attack is the answer, as it is only by unmasking SJWs for what they really are (clueless tin-pot authoritarians) that will help our side win. As long as they continue to use misleading statistics, pretend that they're for "equality", and are able to use academia to shroud their bullshit in legitimacy, they'll continue to win battles like this one.
Each of us has to stand and fight this whenever we can. If intelligent, reasonable people who care about freedom of expression and truth continue to run from these incursions in search of another island of relative sanity, eventually there won't be any islands left to which we may flee! No, better to stand and make them fight for every inch.
