You've got to wonder why smaller companies aren't running rings around their competitors now. If a company only hires the best, they should be able to totally kick ass.

Because we don't have a free market economic system.

When a company really fucks up, the government bails them out.

5 trillion dollars was used for corona virus relief. 5 TRILLION. Where did that money go?

Corporations, favored corporations.

We haven't had capitalism in decades.

GNL says

Funny thing is its the white people who are doing this, right?

To a large degree, yes, but not by psychologically healthy white people. All of them nurse some resentment or other:

- AWFL's (affluent white female liberals) who have the usual feminist resentments and insecurities
- Jews, who tend to blame all whites for the holocaust
- gays, who resent normal people

The collapse of higher education

What’s wild about higher education is how completely useless it was in response to Covid. All of the tools of the physical and social sciences were abandoned in favor of fear, bias, panic, irrationality, obedience, and profit. The few academics who followed proper methods were fired. We spent hundreds of years developing the university system as a bulwark against tyranny and primitivism. And in the end it was just a Maginot Line that was overrun by the fascists.

That's the most fucked up thing about it. It blows my mind. I've said before that white people, as a group, are the dumbest out there.

Edit: That's the most fucked up thing about it. It blows my mind. I've said before that, in a way, white people, as a group, are the dumbest out there. We are great at building, educating, inventing and organizing. But we lack something. I'd say our achilles heel is allowing others to guilt trip us. The other problem white people have is altruism. Christianity plays a large role in this. IMO

I hate to be white.
Look, not anymore:

It's the billionaire class doing it. I think it's just a way of ending social and economic mobility. It reduces competition for the ruling class, because merit is no longer a factor in advancement, kissing ass is. If you have a moron kissing your ass, well, you're not going to have to worry so much about them superseding you, but if you have a genius underneath you, it's quite possible they will.

You can't do this in a free market, but we're not in a free market.

I think that's true.

White people seem more prone to guilt. Maybe it's even genetic and had to do with evolving for tens of thousands of years in a place with hard winters. If you don't help someone through the winter with food etc, that person may die.

Christianity is about guilt and forgiveness too. So it's part of European culture.

You all have good points. I feel that politics is also a part of it because governments (even Saudi Arabia is experimenting but China isn't so far) are driving this one world/one people agenda utilizing media.

This shouldn't be viewed as liability/weakness but as strength/noble value?

Love him or hate him, in the wake of the revolting testimony of the Ivy League presidents last week, Elon Musk called for the inglorious end of DEI earlier today:

I love him. His twitter account is one example. He has spoken up in interviews, he doesn't sugar coat. Man went and smoked pot on Joe Rogan's show (most billionaires don't dare going on Rogan's show) in a t shirt. You see stuff on Twitter than is not allowed on any other media. Space X, Tesla.....He might start a charity foundation in the future, what should one expect more from him? Contrast him with other billionaire.....Bill Gates, Larry Fink, George Soros.....There is no other billionaire who is loved more than Elon.

No. More like, white politicians are the greediest out there.

Understand he's trying to sell cars. Although Space X is getting decent internet to weird/rural places. Just expensive as usual with a good 20-30% subsidized by actual taxpayers. I hope the Starlink users are enjoying the rockets we mostly pay for. Most don't.

He likes the attention. Helps him sell Teslas. He doesn't have to pay for marketing when he goes on the biggest podcasts. He knows he's getting softball questions. He has an awkward personality, but I'd say a Bill Gates type is exponentially more annoying and weird. Who wakes up and wants to make vaccines. Maybe cure cancer? Nah. Maybe heart disease without damaging other parts of the body? Nah. Let's make vaccines for a generally healthy population for things that don't kill people. Ding, that's the winner....

Over the past few years, McKinsey has released at least 4 studies claiming a positive relationship between DEI and firm performance.

A new paper published today in Econ Journal Watch finds these results can't be replicated.

"Our inability to [replicate] their results suggests that ... they should not be relied on to support the view that US publicly traded firms can expect to deliver improved financial performance if they increase the racial/ethnic diversity of their executives.''

Intellectual, anticommunist, and conservative commenter James Lindsay persuasively argues that DEI, which like sewer water has now seeped into every nook and crevice of our public and private institutions, is actually a long-term socio-political military strategy by our enemies, principally China, to destabilize the United States. DEI is rendering impotent our military, our government, our universities, and even our strategically-critical corporations staffed by graduates of those undermined universities (think Boeing). If James is right, and I think he is, China’s destruction-by-DEI plan is working perfectly.

I think it was China all along, playing to the bitter incompetents, suggesting that they were unduly deprived of power, when in reality they were deprived of power because they are truly incompetent.

Now all levels of US corporations and government are staffed with comically incompetent woke idiots. China won.

Patrick says

This is like saying Russia hacked our election, but not having any idea how.

DEI is not China, people in top positions of power didn't get there because they were the best, they got there because they are the most ruthless. They aren't competent and they are afraid of more competent people replacing them.

Do you think it's coincidence there's rumors that pedophilia is rampant in positions of power? If you are an intelligence agency and you have two identical and competent people, who would you prefer to be in power? The one you can control.

That's DEI as well. Hire this dumb loyal person that damned well knows they are there is because they are loyal, and that's the ONLY reason they are there. This is why our government is in shambles, everybody in a position of power is compromised. Ethical intelligent people won't play the game, scumbag intelligent people will, but any scumbag will. It will destroy the country, but it could be fixed if people just recognize scumbags are promoted to positions of power, not ethical people.

Adam Smith said: "ENLIGHTENED self-interest" The modifier gets left out.

Meaning, you're at Stage 4 or higher and aware of society, religion, morality, etc. and THEN you balance all that out in your self interest.

You don't say "Deindustrialize the Rust Belt so I can get an extra 1-2% and retire at 45 a multimillionaire. Damn the millions of lost jobs, manufacturing capacity, social effects, fuck those people, I gotta get mine"

That's raw self-interest.

Honestly, the whole "Fuck you all because I gotta be out by 50" is a major factor in the corruption and sell out to the CCP.

UCLA DEI CZAR Natalie Perry is so Lazy, she plagarized 5 pages straight - of her one and only academic paper.

It's almost not worth showing, because if you redacted all her plagarized portions, there would be nothing to read, like a FOIA on Ukraine Grants

On the surface, the Muldrow v. St. Louis decision looks fairly unremarkable. A female St. Louis police sergeant alleged she was transferred to a less prominent job assignment because of her gender. The trouble with her case was her pay and benefits stayed the same, and the city argued she wasn’t harmed. But the Court unanimously agreed that even “small harms” — if tangible — are enough to support a Title VII claim for employment discrimination.

The liberals and conservatives on the Court probably agreed on the case’s conclusion for different reasons.

What has some DEI activists now wringing their hands is that pro-equality conservative lawfare groups hope to use the new decision to push back on Constitutionally repugnant anti-white discrimination. Disadvantaged white employees might now challenge so-called ‘affirmative action’ programs if they advantage minorities over white employees in even minor ways.

Examples might include things like mentoring opportunities open only to minority employees, or a meet-and-greet with executives excluding white folks, both of which may now be actionable under Muldrow’s new “some harms” standard.

Of course. Absurd and abusive premises inflicted through force are the fertilizer of the Hegelian polarization.Patrick says

Patrick says

That's the point of it.

Divide and conquer. If people knew how corrupt that government was, they'd revolt against it. Instead, they are directed to fight among one another.

Our government has no qualms against lying us into a war, spending a trillion dollars, killing millions, so they can make a little scratch off from the conflict. They don't care if the war is won or lost, or how many people die, how many Americans die. They don't care if Jeffrey Epstein is running a child rape ring, the public doesn't, but they might, if the public wasn't directed to hate one another.

I hope this re-branding catches on, it's an explosive term.

WW2 in europe was largely caused by the treaty of versaille. it so emasculated, impoverished, and humiliated the germans that basically nothing but "violent nationalism" could result. they, the biggest, strongest country in the area, were pushed past endurance by "outsiders" who forced it on them because the US was there to require it. but as soon as "dad" went back to north america, the germans and itialians and austrians rounded on the rest of europe and reminded them who were the productive, strong, capable folks around here while being eaten by some truly odious reactionary ideologies.

the rest, as they say, is history. fascism, genocide, and another war to end all wars right on the heels of the last one.

i’m a bit worried about a potentially impending parallel.

imagine what happens to woke and the DEI denizens when they lose the government. imagine the folks who have been marginalized and humiliated by these struggle sessions and forced to play these retarded reindeer games as they rise and reassert themselves.

because it’s coming. in fact, it’s well underway.

That is why anarcho tyranny is becoming more apparent, more so then Cloward Piven Strategy (i.e., welfare state + open border).

I liken it to Soros funding government and corporate policies.

I wonder who much he was responsible for Disney to piss away billions of dollars due to Woke movie productions, and if he made a lot of money shorting Disney stock or buying puts in Disney.

Look at how many times Soros Jr has visited Biden's White House and you wonder how his family has profited by controlling or influencing the Biden admin. One possibility is if Soros invested based on a rise in oil prices due to Biden policies.

So many interesting characters here, Toktay before she pushed DEI was pushing "Sustainable Development" as part of the "Ray C. Anderson Center". She also stopped tweeting in July 2023. They're all Turks.

I have a feeling they should be pushing Erdogan to promote more Kurds and Armenians and Greeks into high positions in Turkey, ha ha ha.

Not a soldiering specialist, been awhile, what's the problem? The way she's holding it would be burning her hand, instead of holding it by the handle? Ok Well.. done... but probably photoshopped in the first place
