Summary

The Pentagon has removed web pages about Holocaust remembrance and other historical topics to comply with Trump’s order to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) content from federal government sites.

Taken-down pages include stories of Holocaust survivors and religious tolerance, as well as content about 9/11 and veterans' issues.

The Defense Department used automated tools to identify and delete up to 24,000 pages.

Critics argue this erases significant historical narratives, while the Pentagon defends the move as necessary to end "Woke cultural Marxism."

Hey everyone, just a friendly reminder that self propelled compost sludge, Pete Hagseth, who was approved by the Republican Congress to serve as head of the DOJ, has multiple white Supremacists tattoos.

What a fucking loser.

Anticipating the unveiling of the new American flag any moment now...

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 1 points 1 month ago

as well as content about 9/11

As a Muslim, uh... thanks?

Apparently, history is too woke. Just assume white guys did everything going back to Moses (if you believe in that).

Some examples of white men throughout history:

  • Gengis Khan
  • Jesus (but not Confucius or Buddha—they are some woke shit)
  • Cleopatra - little known fact: she was actually three white man in a trenchcoat
  • Shaka Zulu - famous for conquering South Africa for white people who ruled benevolently until Nelson Mandela fucked up a good thing
  • Mahatma Gandhi - famous for inventing Trump-style diplomacy in the original Civilization video game. Probably not an actual historical figure.

"cultural Marxism" oh look, there's the literal Nazi language again.

I didn’t know the Holocaust was diverse, equitable and inclusive! Quite the opposite actually…

Rewriting history in real time while we all watch and do nothing.

[-] sevenOfKnives@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 month ago

that's not exactly true. volunteers have archived most of the old government websites and public data.

i mean, it's not overthrowing the nazis, but frustrating historical revisionism is a start.

The US will either have a civil war or start a world war. I for one hope they have the former, before it gets to the latter.

They have re-branded DEI to mean Divisive Equity Ideology. They had to have an answer for when someone asked why they were against DEI (Diversity Equity and Inclusion).

So much for "Never Forget"

Tim Allen IS fitting for this malarkey.

Could somebody explain to me precisely how either of those things have anything to do with "DEI"? Or what Nazism and Islamism have to do with Marxism for that matter?

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 month ago

Could somebody explain to me

No

[-] wwb4itcgas@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

...Yeah, I didn't think so either.

Nothing at all. DEI is just being used like a catch-all media buzzword to justify racism. To Trump, DEI means "Anything at all that I don't like about anyone who isn't a cis white male".

[-] kamenlady@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

All life has to do with DEI. The real heart of DEI was inclusion. The whole USA was living one of the most inclusive lifestyles in the world.

It is exactly what Trump said he would do, America First.

I really wasn't expecting, that he has a very narrow and twisted view of who he sees as American.

Musk, the most dangerous immigrant of all time, gets the keys to the country.

At the same time immigrants, that earned their American citizenship by hard work, part of a community, are being treated like pigs and deported.

With DEI officially disappearing, we will see all the good things we build in the last decades also disappear.
