WOKE is still applicable but in a more limited role now.

Smh sjw cancelled by woke dei

Sorry, but I hate the word equity. It's been thoroughly lib washed. I had to sit through so many meetings where libs gestured at how important equity is without ever describing steps to achieve it.

It was really, in translation, "we'd really enjoy it if more brown people paid to enroll here"

Academia is a white supremacist institution think-about-it

[-] whatup@hexbear.net 12 points 7 months ago

The idea itself is good. Equity recognizes the varied needs of different groups. While I might share more in common with a worker who uses a wheelchair than a billionaire, the wheelchair user still faces accessibility issues that I don’t experience as an able bodied person. It’s reactionary to cry and scream when marginalized workers advocate for their unique interests.

Wholeheartedly agree. My issue is that at my workplaces, it's always just been a corporate buzzword rather than an actionable goal.

[-] happybadger@hexbear.net 43 points 7 months ago

Woke failed because it has too many letters. You can't expect a hog to spell a $5 word like that. SJW and DEI keep it short and simple.

[-] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 27 points 7 months ago

ETA before the hogs are just going around getting mad at [glottal stop meaning "bad thing"]?

What the fuck does DEI stand for?

[-] DirtyPair@hexbear.net 47 points 7 months ago

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion (oh no!)

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 41 points 7 months ago

It’s usually corporate initiatives that don’t do anything meaningful for minorities outside of superficial things. But reactionaries fail to see its purpose is to support capitalism and their treats and think it’s some Marxist plot

[-] HexbearGPT@hexbear.net 13 points 7 months ago

It’s a way for corporations to get brownie points for simply enacting the neoliberal program of hiring the best bootlicking candidates who can run capitalism most efficiently, even if that means hiring outside of the relatively shallow pool of straight cis white men.

Ironically the campaign against DEI will make capitalism less efficient and more unstable. Lmao.

[-] slumsoul@hexbear.net 11 points 7 months ago

Ironically it’s usually white women that do get hired to these things lol

[-] Ildsaye@hexbear.net 8 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

It will miss out on competence, yes, but intensifying caste hierarchies is also one of the ways capitalism stabilizes itself

You're laughing now, but when this pops up as text in an AI generated meme in a mass shooter's manifesto, it's gonna be a lot less funny.

American chud culture is so influential that I've heard some of the European far-right is rallying against "DEI" despite it being an acronym exclusively for American workforces 💀

[-] DrCrustacean@hexbear.net 15 points 7 months ago

All conservatism is pretty much just American conservatism. Remember those Canadian truckers protesting American vaccine mandates?

[-] UltraGreen@hexbear.net 13 points 7 months ago

Europe is effectively an American vassal.

[-] Pisha@hexbear.net 7 points 7 months ago

Reminds of a German TERF who tried to advocate for "sex-based rights". But her English wasn't very good, so in her translation, it came out as "sexual intercourse-based rights". Nevertheless, she still got a number of votes because no one pays any attention to language if hate is on the menu.

[-] Antiwork@hexbear.net 22 points 7 months ago

Too late HR is already firing all the "diversity hires" as a wave of budget cuts come.

DAE DEI????

[-] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 10 points 7 months ago

That's a bummer. I always knew SJW would go pro if they could just play another season.

Why do people keep talking about the Dutch East Indies all of a sudden

DYI scenes everywhere btfo'd

[-] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 8 points 7 months ago

SJW has been on the decline in favor of "woke" variants for a while now, and was even getting pushed out by "CRT" back when that was the trend. It's weird how it's such a hamsterwheel of terms that ultimately get used interchangeably, especially since DEI has been used in its normal sense for some time now.

[-] FactuallyUnscrupulou@hexbear.net 8 points 7 months ago

I'm reminded of the old days of Chapo when everyone celebrated the first time news outlets accused Bernie of being a communist instead of a socialist.

[-] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 8 points 7 months ago

what next, they're gonna come for my JOI?
