My mom is convinced that the Boeing airplane side panel blowout was because Boeing was focused on DEI. What the fuck
Na I'm pretty sure the Boeing issues are due to outsourcing and shifting blame to subcontractors.
That particularly piece of bullshit was platformed by none other than Elon Musk himself, the white supremacist piece of human filth he is.
To people who feel deprived of a clear social identity, Ur-Fascism says that their only privilege is the most common one, to be born in the same country. This is the origin of nationalism. Besides, the only ones who can provide an identity to the nation are its enemies. Thus at the root of the Ur-Fascist psychology there is the obsession with a plot, possibly an international one. The followers must feel besieged. The easiest way to solve the plot is the appeal to xenophobia. But the plot must also come from the inside: Jews are usually the best target because they have the advantage of being at the same time inside and outside. In the U.S., a prominent instance of the plot obsession is to be found in Pat Robertson’s The New World Order, but, as we have recently seen, there are many others.

Bogus conspiracy theories like that get pushed by management as a means of deflecting from their own failings and have the effect of hurting a lot of people
Ok define acronyms FFS (for fuck sake)
DEI = diversity, equity, and inclusion. Seeing what the hell is hidden behind the letters makes easier to see what this is about
It's right there in the first paragraph/sentence of the article.
In my defense this is what i see on the first page,
then its
then its
but yes you are right it appears close after the eventual headline. i missed that and i probably was annoyed by the scrolling to get to the darn article too
Yes, I scrolled through all that crap, too, but didnt comment on it. I'm not really sure who thinks that's a good idea, or who enjoys reading articles like that.
Thank you! I had no idea what the hell the acronym meant either
I was like what does Dale Earnhardt have to do with this
Sadly those attacking it also hate the words
Thanks, it really annoyed me that the whole article never once defined it
Michael O'Neill Burns of Wisecrack made a decent video yesterday, explaining the DEI rollback in a larger historical context.
DEI: Have We Lost Our Minds?
Billionaires trying to control and deny societal evolution. It’s too late. Resistance is futile. History will repeat itself. Each civil right victory was hard won. White Christian Nationalists need to feel some real pain for once.
