    I don’t think you understand what DEI is or how it works if you feel that it is discriminatory.

    It just exists to make sure that people are given a fair shake not that anyone gets an automatic leg up.

    DEI programs are what let the best person for the job be hired. Without them people are discarded simply because of their name or race or etc etc.

    If you truly want the best person for the job to be hired you support DEI initiatives because that’s the whole idea and point of it.

    Yes, they took my argument and created a false third choice that was never part of the argument. Then said to choose that.

    That’s misrepresenting what I said to have that third choice.

    Regardless we’re getting very pedantic here and I’m not really disagreeing with you if that matters to you.

    Hey you can elect this person that’ll slap you or this person that’ll stab you in the face.

    Oh well the slapping is so bad we should just not choose either and give the win to face stabby candidate. That’s the dumbass “logic” that got us here.

    I mean, I fully expect it was also mostly a foreign psyop to steer votes toward Trump or at least generate apathy and keep votes from going to Kamala (same outcome more or less). Mostly because it’s such a dumb premise of why you wouldn’t vote for Harris and just sit out the election. So I can’t imagine it was truly widespread and I think that’s also why it’s crickets now that the election is over and Russia’s orange gremlin candidate for president of the USA won.


  • You don’t get to be the apex predator spread around the whole world without a love for violence ingrained deep inside the species hearts.

    So, agree more or less. But also I think the desire can be nuanced, like personally I don’t want to just commit random violence but I do wish some folks would get hurt or killed. I think it’s like that for most of us.
