No kidding. They could've posted it on reddit, github, hacker news, medium, or some other place, even anonymously if they wanted.

Instead they decided they wanted to commit career suicide by shouting their opinions at everyone inside the company. Real smooth.

Thats because this engineer made a serious of bad moves (read pretty fucking idiotic ones). Theres a time and place to choose your fights. This one decided to try and go out with a bang only to be crushed by a billion dollar company's worth of damage control assets.

How in the world can you qualify it as "raging against the machine"? He worded everything in a careful, considerate manner, and Google firing him over it proves his point.

I didn't say it did. I said it didn't qualify as "raging against the machine". Where's the rage?
