The recruiter will either dismiss the whole email and not care at all or even if they did care and agreed with you they wouldn't be able to do much about it anyways.

Also, this person seems to be more interested in political and ideological activism than actually working there. Maybe they should just do that instead?

Does Google send out many cold job offers? My understanding is that it's a pretty strenuous process, so this feels like LARPing.

It also sounds like it's not a job offer that's being rejected, as it appears to be addressed to a recruiter that has reached out to them about opportunities working at Google.

… should the recruiter know that much about them?

And if they were that good, they should have stayed at the company and kept Google from going the way of evil that apparently occurred after they left. Instead they left and now are grandstanding by rejecting job offers they don’t have…

What are the odds that the hiring manager reads more than a sentence or two? They'll just email the next person on the list without much reflection.

If this were really for the hiring manager, they would have sent it without posting it on their home page.

This seems similar to attacking a customer service representative for something you know is out of their control.
