libera te tutemet ex machina, and shitpost~~

  • Tbh, I am coming to terms with my own vulnerability to fall for leftist propaganda.

  • 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?

  • Okay, and the one after that? People should do what they can to safeguard democracy, that’s what keeps everyone collectively safe.

  • The ADL is likely giving a calculated response because of what happened last time Nazis took over a western country. It’s really sad that people are letting Nazis take over the US over what seems to be fear of AI and influx of immigrants from LatAm countries.

    Couple this Nazi bullshit with what the Trump admin said yesterday about Israel having a biblical right to the land in the West Bank, it’s clear the plan is to eventually “gently encourage” Jewish “immigration” from the U.S. to Israel. Because Nazis don’t have any principles per se, and people like that especially don’t care about the Bible. Sadly, it seems that American conservatives are essentially Nazis now.

  • You’re right that no one is an angel or god, no one has perfect knowledge and as such cannot hand out perfect justice. That’s what I am saying, essentially. As soon as people create authoritarian systems, of any kind, they become adherents to one singular way of thinking. That’s the problem.

    Edit: stop making the thing into an ad hominem, I am talking about systems and processes.

  • Sorry it came across like that, I was super tired. I think other commenters are right that authoritarianism sucks, whether it’s left or right.

  • Let us know how it goes

  • The worst thing to come out of social media discourse is ad hominem attacks (attacking a person) being perceived as attacking the argument itself. What an annoying take, no one is a god or angel. We have to do the work to find truth and justice.

  • Lol, some leftists need to get over the fact that not everyone will agree with their pov, and that doesn’t mean those who disagree are “center” or “liberal”, whatever the fuck they think those labels mean. I am tired of what feels like emotional blackmail by hardliners who insist that their biased opinions are definitive progressivism, or that they are the arbiters of truth or justice. But continue being wrong, it’s just you losing credibility 🤷‍♀️ Truth and justice require a principled and unbiased approach towards morality, ethics and philosophy. I believe people can do better than zero-sum realpolitiks, I guess that’s just my naïve take.

  • This is awesome

  • Ah thanks, guess you’re right

  • I hate anything that invokes mythology as a default, but I get that they’re doing it to butthurt religious fundamentalists, so I’ve come around to the whole Satan church thing
