You might want to view the thought experiment "Blue eyed people vs brown eyed people" from the late 1960s, if you're unfamiliar with it. Psychologist Jane Elliot performed this exercise to school children and adult volunteers, and deftly got people to, in little time, start resenting each other based on eye color differences! At the time, the exercise was done to highlight racism of the day. But what is so damned interesting is that this same thought experiment could be applied today (or perhaps could be argued that it is, in fact, being done), in the sense that it's demonstrative of precisely what all WOKE initiatives such as DEI are doing: emphasizing our DIFFERENCES which thereby creates resentment and more racism rather than less of it. What we have had the past twenty or more years, thanks to the Leftist agenda, ironically worsens race relations. (For the record, not that it should matter, is that I am center Left...or, a moderate.) I wonder how Jane Elliot would feel about DEI if she were still alive. Maybe the irony would be missed by her. I don't know. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z57GdH-jlLGqpqc

Short answer: yes. Long answer: no. They've gone to ground. The people in charge of all this stuff will rebrand again and we'll be dealing with that later. We just have to stay vigilant and stop giving those companies our money. It's not enough to live and let live. We have to actively oppose the forces of evil.

[@emanekaf145]

Yeah. This is sort of how I feel about it. Claiming we've won doesn't make sense when our opponents follow on from people like Gramsci and share ideas with the Soviet Union. As Hayek mentioned, the left keeps the emotionality of words but flips their meaning. They'll just do it again with new words and rationalizations. I always point out how terms like "microaggression" were rightfully dismissed when they first hit the mainstream, but then they vanished for a couple years and their concepts resurfaced shortly after, simply rolled into the larger concept of "racism" because the emotionality of the word was more powerful. This is true for a lot of things in the left, especially language. That and projection. If a leftist labels or accuses you of something, they probably embody that thing themselves. Some people claim we've passed "peak woke". I doubt it. I think we're going to see a dying ideology get violent and even more irrational before it vanishes, and then it will just subvert whatever new culture is created. We need to constantly watch for those ideas and stick to solid principles that can reliably build rather than destroy.

As someone who grew up with online discussion, I noticed that the internet was always a couple years ahead of the mainstream on culture. The discussions and debates that I saw online in various place were usually long settled by the time it hit the news. It use to confuse me why people were so shocked by the ideas that seemed so simple until I started getting into political theory, psychology, and economics. I remember continually having an unfortunate "I told you so" talk year after year with friends who weren't clued in, but they would always just move the goalpost and deny that the last change "counts". Most of those friends embraced DEI and leftism over time, became angry, and are now baffled why they're losing public favour. This is one of those discussions that should have been obvious to everyone a decade ago at least, when its roots started to be planted, but it' taken until it sprouted, grew, overwhelmed, and is now withering before many people have started to understand it was just as bad of an idea as it sounded back then. Now we have one more piece of scientific evidence to help prove that. It really shouldn't have got this far though, but history and psychology has taught me that "shouldn't" rarely means "wouldn't".

[@jefffinkbonner9551]

One of the best comments I’ve read in a long time! There’s the pattern of “that’s not happening! That’s a conspiracy theory! People who say that is happening are bad!” to “even if that were happening it wouldn’t be a big deal. Why do you care so much?” to “the thing that’s totally not happening is actually a good thing” to “the thing has always been happening, this is no different than before” to “anyone who doesn’t enthusiastically support the thing is a bad person and shouldn’t be able to keep their job!” The level of ideological possession in these times is staggering. I’m still not sure what the exact difference is between people like the ones you mentioned who fell for the woke stuff vs those who have resisted it. Could be critical thinking, could be a multitude of factors.

As somebody who grew up in South Africa during the Apartheid years, I could have told you that dividing people into official race groups and then treating people differently based on their race category invariably makes people more racist, not less.

I believe this is a key factor in why the Democrats so many lost white voters in the last election.

Watch the video of "Brown eyed people vs blue eyed people", which was a thought experiment from the late 1960s and into the 1970s. Psychologist Jane Elliot performed actual scenarios with adult volunteers or children in a classroom setting. It only took her minutes to get people (blue eyed vs brown eyed) to start showing resentment towards each other. It was done at the time to highlight racism in the US. Interestingly, that same exercise of more than fifty years ago can highlight how WOKE initiatives in all its forms does exactly what Ms. Elliot was trying to demonstrate, but how in the 2020s it's accomplishing the opposite: more racism instead of less of it. It's utterly ironic. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z57GdH-jlLGqpqc

You didn't have to be a skinny, pretty girl to get executive secretary, TV anchor, clothes model. This was favouring young women because of horny men, not qualified brains. Also, your competition if your smart. Those on higher levels don't want to get knocked down by a smarter person.

[@anitarodriguez6717]

Experiencing life for 80+ years as not-white I assure you - if you are a person of color, your intelligence, training, skills and work ethic will not be seen through the same lens as the exactly equivalent qualities in a white person, especially a man - period. - which is why DEI came into being in the first place. It's systemic, the water in which we swim, unconscious, ubiquitous.

[@tubermind]

@ Who's the "they" here; trying to understand. And just want to add that there are a lot of factors that go into the hiring process. And of course, some of it is subjective. The person hiring has to fill a position with someone whom they believe will not only be qualified but will work well with their particular team already in place. Burdening them with DEI quotas doesn't make sense to me. Let them hire whomever they consider will best work in that role. No one should have to feel that they were hired, either, because they had the "right" ethnicity for some invisible scoring system. Discrimination and Reverse Discrimination are both still discrimination and they are illegal.

We hire and welcome these people from all over and expect them to do a good job and to fit in. There's rules of conduct, and nobody gets special treatment. I myself when I started, man I was not used to such a physical job. To this day there are times when I just want to say "alright I'm absolutely beat, I'm calling it a day" well...

Once finished High School, access to University and College should be solely based on ones ability and after that the same in the job market. The single biggest problem in the education system is that funding is by ZIP code. All children deserve the same education, but the wealthy determined that not only could they save a little but also give their children an advantage very easily. I suspect that for an awful lot of the wealthy the saving a little was the most important.

You need to talk to Kirsche. Like ASAP. She's a Vtuber that has dozens of videos on how "the message" is rebranding. She saw how Campbell's Soup (the company) was getting into this stuff and she fell into the rabbit hole of how deep this goes. Hint: This stuff isn't going away. Not by a long shot. They're already rewriting history and literature by creating new editions of old works and rewriting them. These people are insane and will keep "doing the work" or praxis as Communists say.

Demand the ban of DEI.

Bridge. Look it up.

He wanted to say people of color but now people just laugh when they hear that (in particular people of color😅)

[@yanceymcdonald6017]

Unless you remove the people enforcing and adopting DEI. It’s not gone.

[@makegeorgeorwellfictionaga9268]

I hope it stays that way

[@michaeld9682]

The usdot has the same thing Look up the very costly DBE program

As long as there are feelings to hurt the sick, pathetic and the rotten will find something to do.

I was going to subscribe to you, but I am already subscribed to you. 😅

I think there was more to it than just overcorrecting for the heavily racial inequalities from America’s past. A middle aged man with decades of experience is going to cost an employer a lot more money than say hiring a man or women with way less experience. It always has to do with $ and the bottom line. DEI was nothing more than a front by corporations to pay less for their workers. Do you really think the multi billionaire owners of Walmart are sitting around thinking about how if they only could just somehow improve the lives of say trans people? Get real people.

[@Izadirad1995]

It’s not completely the death because there’s a bunch of movies, games, books, etc that were under production during the dei era that will be released in the near future.

[@Steve-tw4bt]

Basically DEI foments anger, discrimination, retributive and authoritarian behaviors. Seems legit with how I’ve seen it spread where I live and the fruit it produces.

[@image30p]

Thank God.

[@EndtheWokeMadness]

I know they are linked, but ESG scores must go, too.

[@SocialDemocraciaPT]

Time to end this nonsense dei.

[@stanrubin2276]

Someone said DEI=Didn't Earn It.
