Smh sjw cancelled by woke dei

[–] RedQuestionAsker2@hexbear.net 46 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Sorry, but I hate the word equity. It's been thoroughly lib washed. I had to sit through so many meetings where libs gestured at how important equity is without ever describing steps to achieve it.

It was really, in translation, "we'd really enjoy it if more brown people paid to enroll here"

Academia is a white supremacist institution think-about-it

[–] whatup@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The idea itself is good. Equity recognizes the varied needs of different groups. While I might share more in common with a worker who uses a wheelchair than a billionaire, the wheelchair user still faces accessibility issues that I don’t experience as an able bodied person. It’s reactionary to cry and scream when marginalized workers advocate for their unique interests.

Wholeheartedly agree. My issue is that at my workplaces, it's always just been a corporate buzzword rather than an actionable goal.

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 39 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Woke failed because it has too many letters. You can't expect a hog to spell a $5 word like that. SJW and DEI keep it short and simple.

[–] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 26 points 1 year ago (2 children)

ETA before the hogs are just going around getting mad at [glottal stop meaning "bad thing"]?

DEI? Miss me with that woke shit... Better get in my pickup truck and DUI

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 29 points 1 year ago (2 children)

What the fuck does DEI stand for?

[–] DirtyPair@hexbear.net 45 points 1 year ago (8 children)

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion (oh no!)

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

[–] HexbearGPT@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

[–] slumsoul@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Ildsaye@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

[–] NewLeaf@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago

This might be where I check out.

I've been hanging on since "politically correct"

Have they forgotten about CRT yet? Haven't heard that one in a while.

[–] Rom@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

People started realizing the "woke teachers are teaching your kids CRT" line was bullshit given that CRT was never actually taught below college level, and "college students are electing to take CRT classes" doesn't quite have the same kick. Obviously they're not opposed to just blatantly fucking lying, but most likely they just found a more effective grift.

[–] Zuzak@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

I don't think chuds realized anything, they just got bored and moved on to the next thing.

Too late HR is already firing all the "diversity hires" as a wave of budget cuts come.

American chud culture is so influential that I've heard some of the European far-right is rallying against "DEI" despite it being an acronym exclusively for American workforces 💀

[–] DrCrustacean@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago

All conservatism is pretty much just American conservatism. Remember those Canadian truckers protesting American vaccine mandates?

[–] UltraGreen@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

Europe is effectively an American vassal.

[–] Pisha@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

Reminds of a German TERF who tried to advocate for "sex-based rights". But her English wasn't very good, so in her translation, it came out as "sexual intercourse-based rights". Nevertheless, she still got a number of votes because no one pays any attention to language if hate is on the menu.

The world moves too quickly ooooooooooooooh

SJW was retired because people kept saying it stood for Stinky Jehova's Witness

Why do people keep talking about the Dutch East Indies all of a sudden

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

That's a bummer. I always knew SJW would go pro if they could just play another season.

DYI scenes everywhere btfo'd

[–] tombruzzo@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

Is there somewhere I can trade in my Social Justice points for DEI tokens? And what's the exchange rate on them?

[–] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

SJW has been on the decline in favor of "woke" variants for a while now, and was even getting pushed out by "CRT" back when that was the trend. It's weird how it's such a hamsterwheel of terms that ultimately get used interchangeably, especially since DEI has been used in its normal sense for some time now.
