        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

          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.

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

            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.
