        Guy that looks like the people he's representing, is actually a diversity hire. Go figure.

          Well in South Africa a similar tactic is used by rscists to complain about BEE (Black Economic Empowerment) and South Africa is 80% Black African.

          These people are so racist that they actually believe it's impossible for black people to hold positions of power, even in black majority cities and countries.

        DEI is going to lose its meaning much like woke has.

      doomer we're never getting socialism in the West™ at this rate. Culture war brainwashed morons control the discourse, political institutions, the media and most of the internet.

        I'm right there with you, but I just don't have it in me to stop. I will keep resisting and agitating until all of my friends hate me, join me, or I am dead. I can't function any other way.

        but it is very exhausting and doesn't really seem to be working here, yeah. It's going to be barbarism, huh?

          It's hard not to surrender to it, I keep trying but I can't help but desire to just move out of my country (I can't even afford it atm anyway)

            cw: trans slur

            To be completely honest if it is ever in the realm of possibility my plan is also to gtfo. I am several layers of priority target for these ongoing eugenics campaigns that are only accelerating in the West™️. No country wants disabled people, very few want the tr*nnies, but I have to believe I can thrive somewhere. It's just not happening in the US, and I don't want it to. I have no home here; the culture is toxic, hateful, it gives me no peace and it seeps into everything. Historically it doesn't really look good for people like me around this part of fascist development. As long as I'm here, though, even if it's forever, I'm not going out without giving them hell and doing what I can for the struggle and what little of my comrades in that struggle remain that I can cling to. There is no running from this...but in order to resist, I gotta stay alive.

      It's a talking point that originally started amongst racist white South Africans (they complain about BEE( Black Economic Empowerment) instead of DEI), so yeah it's definitely in line with that. I've been hearing this nonsense all my life. It should come as no surprise that Musk has decided to introduce this talking point to US politics.

    The company behind the ship are proud supporters of capitalism

    The Commissioners for the Port of Baltimore have zero port experience & zero waterway transportation experience

    Capitalism Strikes again. And now the entire port of Baltimore is inaccessible

      They're so tredly predicable. Remember that whole thing where they replaced the NPC chip for every outrage to make fun of liberals? Yeah that's them. NPCs now.

    The talking points against DEI in the USA are the exact same ones used against BEE (Black Economic Empowerment) in South Africa. Unsurprisingly, a racist white South African in Elon Musk has exported this nonsense from his home country to the USA. The things Musk says and talking points he promotes sound exactly like what you'd hear from racists back in South Africa, but with a few words changed to make it applicable to a US context
