    Ok define acronyms FFS (for fuck sake)

    DEI = diversity, equity, and inclusion. Seeing what the hell is hidden behind the letters makes easier to see what this is about

          Yes, I scrolled through all that crap, too, but didnt comment on it. I’m not really sure who thinks that’s a good idea, or who enjoys reading articles like that.

    My mom is convinced that the Boeing airplane side panel blowout was because Boeing was focused on DEI. What the fuck

      Bogus conspiracy theories like that get pushed by management as a means of deflecting from their own failings and have the effect of hurting a lot of people

      Na I’m pretty sure the Boeing issues are due to outsourcing and shifting blame to subcontractors.

      To people who feel deprived of a clear social identity, Ur-Fascism says that their only privilege is the most common one, to be born in the same country. This is the origin of nationalism. Besides, the only ones who can provide an identity to the nation are its enemies. Thus at the root of the Ur-Fascist psychology there is the obsession with a plot, possibly an international one. The followers must feel besieged. The easiest way to solve the plot is the appeal to xenophobia. But the plot must also come from the inside: Jews are usually the best target because they have the advantage of being at the same time inside and outside. In the U.S., a prominent instance of the plot obsession is to be found in Pat Robertson’s The New World Order, but, as we have recently seen, there are many others.

      – Umberto Eco, Ur-Fascism

      That particularly piece of bullshit was platformed by none other than Elon Musk himself, the white supremacist piece of human filth he is.
