Surely you see the difference between Democratic leadership and the masses that believe in some semblance of humanity. I swear your short-sighted goal of overthrowing the system has resulted in millions of Americans marching goose step and lining trans children up for the slaughter.
Own your part now or history will not look kindly upon you and your ilk. You are right, but also very wrong.
Once someone buys into Nazi rhetoric it can take decades to deprogram them. How do you suggest this to be done when it takes far shorter amount of time to spread their rhetoric?
More like an interesting parallel. Being a firebrand from the otherside.
"But I think people can address those without DEI or CRT."
I think you are pretty much full of it. CRT is a college level analysis of systemic racism. There are valid criticism of it which you are apparently oblivious to because your understanding comes from word of mouth and Fox News.
DEI boils down to having a diverse group that makes better decisions. I have taken many DEI trainings and I know for a fact that your criticisms are bunk. I personally think the biggest actual criticism is that it has become a money making endeavor or a box to check off on. This criticism is ultimately about capitalism itself and corporate culture than actual DEI content.
DEI is what you learned in kindergarten. To treat everyone how you want to be treated. There are no quotas or any other such bullshit. As a hiring manager myself the only thing it has ever done is make me considering hiring something other than a white male. That is consider, not force.
You don't know what you are talking about about and your informed perspectives must be from National Review, OANN, Brietbart, etc.
Please just stop. It is explicitly illegal to hire based on any quota in the federal government or for federal contractors.
The point of affirmative action is to hire so that the composition of a contractor’s workforce reflects, over time, the composition of qualified workers in the relevant labor market from which applicants are recruited and selected.
This just boils down to if there are women and minorities in the field they should be considered instead of just white males.
I am really getting sick of all the DEI propaganda. Jesus Christ, I am a hiring manager and I have taken multiple DEI trainings. There are no quotas and the entire point is to get an average hiring manager, which are mostly white males, to consider hiring someone different than themselves.
When I was young there was a lot of counter culture going on rejecting the status quo. There were lots songs about our harsh reality and there were still prominent and popular figures who railed against the atrocities of the world. I was born poor enough to not buy into the rhetoric and disenfranchised enough to hate the privilege that I did have. Make no mistake though there are a lot of bootlickers my age though.
Genz didn't even have these influences. They had Joe Rogan and Andrew Tate. We collectively failed them and offered them nothing but worship of money and power. They are a product of that reality, the end result of no one ever fixing anything. Being Sandwiched between the Boomers who I despise and these younger generations truly sucks and makes me doubt for our future.
I learned how technology worked on a level most don't understand. I played with DOS, wrote my own software, and was there for the start of social media when it was about empowering the individual instead of control the masses. I left when I realized what it had become. Generations after me never had that perspective to see the truth and were manipulate into complacency.
probably prefer MTG?
Looking at OP post history I highly doubt that. I took it as Aotus is ten pounds of shit in a five pound bag, hence overflowing with shit.
Perhaps I was wrong.
Not OP but I will give it a shot. There is two major things going on here.
One is throwing a bunch of stuff at the wall and seeing what will stick. In a positive way this could be trying a bunch of different good ideas to see what works best.
In a negative way this is used to find ways to debase the situation by finding out what people are least resistant to. Like feeling people out for their negative emotions or feelings.
Think if someone you know constantly suggested dark or negative things until they finally overwhelm you and got you to agree or acquiesce to something you would not otherwise do or accept. They present multiple bad things until you will accept the least bad thing.
The second major thing is using the basic psychology of abuse because a large portion of our population are already in negative abusive situations. This makes them easy targets for abuse and also empowers abusers who are often in control to continue to abuse.
Abusers often feel they have the right to control and restrict others lives. They believe their own needs take priority over others and get off on exerting control and the power it gives them over others.
Abuse cycle is typically something like building on tensions (where we are now), following into acts of violence (where we are heading), followed by reconciliation or love bombing, then some calm before it starts over again.
To put this all together our current administration is abusive and they are pushing our boundaries to see what kind of abuse they can get away with. It is hard to escape an abusive relationship and even harder to escape a country that is in essence abusive itself.
A healthy society, like a healthy person rejects abuse. Part of what makes this administration so effective and arguably so perverse is they recognize we are broken as a society and they are using the worst of us against ourselves. People want change but all they offer is control and manipulation under the guise of protection.
Give the racist asshats an inch and they will take a mile.
Because they are dishonest deceivers. It is like blaming the guy running against the man that raped you for the rape. Then doubling down blaming the guy who did not rape you after you are raped a second time.
That is a poor point and allowing it to spread is the reality we are actually facing.
Case in point. Germany has been tightly controlling this for several decades. Is their society now overran by Nazi rhetoric? The answer is no.
