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'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.
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.

I like the acronym derived from the thread title:
"Deliberately Elevated Incompetence"
Pretty much sums it up. Isn't one of you members making a killing by betting against Intel? I swear I saw a "bet against DEI" rule mentioned by one of you.
DEI is so bad it has fucked up the CHIPS projects.

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.
Just spent the week with my east coast nieces and nephews who are 30 somethings rising up in their careers. They all believe in white privilege and global warming even though they're all white and it keeps on snowing. They're smart and articulate but their education from kindergarten through graduate school has thoroughly brainwashed them.

The thing about calling DEI 'economic genocide' is that it undersells it
yes, young White men were systematically excluded from careers during their peak marriage years, but that's just first-order effects.
second-order: marriage market collapse. women date across and up. men without careers become invisible to the women who would have married them and disappear. the "eligible bachelor" pool shrinks.
third-order: fertility crisis. fewer marriages, fewer children. but it's worse than just men not marrying or having families. the women who "won" the DEI lottery got careers instead of families, delayed fertility until it was too late. DEI attacked family formation from both sides, excluded men from provider roles AND diverted women from their fertility window. everyone lost.
fourth-order: psychological. young men couldn't even name what was happening to them. the same institutions that excluded them told them they were "privileged", that complaining was proof of weakness. so they internalized failure as personal inadequacy rather than systemic rigging, retreated into depression, video games, porn. the symptoms we then pathologized as "male failure". the system broke them (on purpose) and blamed them for being broken.
fifth-order: institutional trust gone. once you know positions are filled by demographics rather than competence, every credential becomes suspect (if not a priori worthless). is your doctor qualified or a diversity hire? your pilot? your engineer? you can't prove any individual is incompetent, but you can't trust any individual is competent either. medicine skepticism, academic failure, media skepticism, none of this emerged organically. it was manufactured by the DEI hire you can't be sure is qualified to treat you.
sixth-order: reality became unspeakable. noticing any of this was a fireable offense. pointing out the obvious got you called a bigot, deplatformed or fired. pure totalitarian censorship and the problem couldn't even be acknowledged (until now, finally)
men knew they were being cheated but couldn't say it. women sensed something was wrong with the men but couldn't identify it. relationships poisoned by a dynamic neither party could name.
seventh-order: the feedback loop. fewer eligible men means more women competing for a shrinking pool, more women losing the marriage market, more resentment, more "men are trash", more support for DEI, fewer eligible men and the system accelerates itself.
and the worst part is that DEI was just the economic arm. the same people and institutions pushed the complete package
"toxic masculinity" to pathologize male identity
"the future is female" as explicit zero-sum framing delusion
"believe all women" to weaponize trust against men
"men are trash" to normalize open contempt
a coordinated ideological assault on family formation.
and it even had a business model. HR departments exploded (millions of jobs invented to administer the regime). DEI consultants became a multi-billion dollar industry. politicians got voting blocs dependent on racial grievance. established boomers kept their positions while their competition was eliminated.
the architects knew what they were doing
you don't accidentally build a system that specifically targets men during peak marriage years, tells them they deserve it, makes it unspeakable to complain, attacks their identity as toxic, promotes women into career tracks that burn their fertility, then acts confused when society collapses
if you wanted to suppress the fertility of a specific demographic, engineer the breakdown of trust between the sexes, and make it illegal to notice, the playbook would look exactly like this.
DEI should be held responsible for the fertility crisis, the marriage collapse, the epidemic of male depression and suicide, the destruction of institutional trust, the atomization of society, and the manufactured war between men and women
but DEI was the weapon
the people who designed it, funded it, made it mandatory, enforced it through HR, fired anyone who resisted, called all opposition hate and racism, built careers and industries on its maintenance, they knew. and they're the ones who should be remembered as the architects of one of the worst crimes against humanity.

THIS is the explanation that was in the back of my head but I could never articulate!
We now know the right thing to say when the argument comes up:
"Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity" is merely a justification for elevating the incompetent over the competent.
It has the force of irresistible truth, because it is the truth and they know it in their bones.
