  • DEI is for all identities, not just POC. Creating more process is part of the the CIA field manual for fighting fascists, hence the question, are more bureaucratic jobs being created in some misguided attempt to “fight US imperialism”?

  • No, I didn’t say minorities, you’re assuming that. I was pointing out the part in the text which says, “fight fascists by creating bureaucracy”. There are lots of articles already which point out that DEI is for all identities, not just POC.

  • I am asking these questions because we already have EO laws and ADA policies. We also have anti-harassment policies. What does DEI add that’s new other than create more bureaucratic jobs?

    From my perspective, DEI just creates divisions between groups by splitting people into distinct identities.

  • Please stop. I literally made this thread a while back

    I believe in people getting opportunities. What I don’t like are thought police, or thought correction officers.

    Left authoritarianism is still authoritarianism.

    I also don’t take it for granted that someone talking about “empathy” or “compassion” necessarily doesn’t have ulterior motives.

  • So riddle me this, why is it hard to believe that DEI type policies could be plot by some organization or country against the U.S. when there’s literally a field manual which says that such policies should be used against “fascists”. People on Lemmy call the U.S. imperialist all the time.

  • People seriously need to chill the fuck out with the Nazi comparisons.

    Trump won popular vote, that’s literally a democracy.

    I wish the Republicans had more class in dealing with political opponents, or in getting their point across about some issues, but they don’t. Their lack of finesse just makes people overreact. These overreactions are reminding me of the J6ers, though.

  • “To lower morale and with it, production, be pleasant to inefficient workers; give them undeserved promotions. Discriminate against efficient workers; complain unjustly about their work.”

    So is this why DEI exists?

  • I am sorry but no, I won’t go more into this. I could be wrong, but I am seriously not okay with some of the things .ml folks get away with saying, like it’s okay to put kulaks to death. This is why I am having such a response to this after coming across the CRT and DEI articles.

    Everyone who doesn’t have generational wealth is working class. Period, doesn’t matter how much they have in the short term. But I even disagree with the whole guillotine uber wealthy folks thing too. No one needs to die, people need to chill out with the extremist shit. You don’t fix wrong with doing more wrong. Otherwise what’s the difference between you and authoritarians?

  • I don’t know how right I am, I just know that the James Lindsay article makes sense based on what I know about Marxism, CRT and Stalinism, and my own interactions with Marxists on Lemmy. There’s a real threat here, and people need to be careful. From my reading of the more philosophical articles, it seems there is some supporting evidence, but it would need a blog post to put it all together with citations, etc etc. Not interested.

  • Authoritarians leftists only use the “left” and “progressive” moniker to make themselves appealing, they’re the same kind of greedy and selfish people who’d kill you for their own group or goals.

  • Animals. Cannot. Consent.

    lol came out more intense than intended, but fr

  • I suggest using google scholar and looking up some stuff yourself with keywords, it’s not my job to educate you. I posted easy and accessible articles on purpose, but there is a lot of academic material available that’s harder to parse for shitpost reading.

  • While I wholeheartedly agree with unbiased, fair and equal employment access and treatments, DEI has a more global agenda via Neo-Marxist ideology

    There’s nothing wrong with countries helping out other countries! I honestly want more of that. I just sincerely dislike the Neo-Marxist mindset that it’s okay to dismantle someone else’s home country to help out their own.

    Edit also, if you consider the U.S. history with regional destabilization of LatAm countries, there are a lot of ghosts here which are coming back to haunt the US. No one has clean hands, historically.

  • I know LGBT people are not allowed to speak up,

    Meanwhile US has elected trans and gay people to congress. I sincerely hope the recent changes against LGBT folks are something the other party works to undo. All people deserve civil rights.

  • Well, Stalin for example very famously stole from the middle class, or kulaks, made their houses into hostels for the very poor, and then put the middle class people to death via gulags.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kulak

    Any system which judges people as others to be exploited and killed isn’t any better than right-wing authoritarianism.

    Authoritarianism is fucked up, doesn’t matter if it’s left or right.

    Edit, even if you look at China and Vietnam as current examples, they are both hardly exemplary towards LGBT or minority rights. Hardliner Marxists would also say they’re too capitalist.

    Edit some connections between CRT and Marxism, both are tools for Neo-Marxists

  • Tbh it doesn’t matter, at the end of the day I will do what I can for everyone’s civil rights the way any one person can, democratically.

  • Yep

  • Maybe you’re right in so many words, I’ll take into consideration.
