Establishment controlled NGOs like the Ford Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation and George Soros’ Open Society Foundation had been pumping billions of dollars into US universities since at least the 1960s, launching social justice programs and placing propagandists into teaching positions with the intent of “manufacturing consent” as Noam Chomsky once dubbed it.

The effort was to control the thinking of a top percentage of American professionals, turn them into rabid adherents of Cultural Marxism and globalism and then send them out into the world to create a progressive trickle-down effect in every major corporate and political institution. In other words, the establishment believed that if they could dominate the professional class with their suits and lab coats and specialized degrees the rest of the public would blindly follow along due to “expert bias.”.

As it turns out, they were wrong.

It took almost ten years to root out this tiny contingent of cult manipulators, but today the woke movement is well and thoroughly exposed. Woke organizations and DEI departments are now in fast decline and even the activists are beginning to admit they’re losing the battle for the minds of the masses. Let’s not forget, only a few years ago the political left denied the DEI agenda even existed and called anyone talking about it a “conspiracy theorist.”

Big Tech companies like Meta and Google made cuts to DEI staffers and resource officers in 2023. Dozens of major corporations are completely dropping their DEI initiatives in 2024. The Hollywood Reporter recently published an article lamenting the fall of DEI in Hollywood, spotlighting a list of DEI producers in an effort to assert that leftist activists still have power in Tinsel Town despite their failing ideology. Gay activist group GLAAD has complained that “LGBT representation” has started to decline in popular entertainment, with only 27% of films and television promoting gay and trans characters (given these people make up less than 3% of the global population, this level of representation is still far too high).

The reason for this precipitous collapse of DEI programs is three-fold:

First, after central banks hiked interest rates and ended QE programs the floodgates of ESG money closed and dried up. Venture capital disappeared and woke companies then had to rely on pure profits to stay afloat.

Second, the mass boycotting of woke companies proved beyond a doubt that there is no market for products that cater to DEI. For many years we have been told that woke is the majority, and anti-woke is a fringe minority. The truth is the exact opposite.

Third, lawsuits over DEI hiring programs are forcing companies to admit there is an element of ant-white and anti-straight prejudice involved in their employment practices. They are beginning to fear the backlash in civil courts, not to mention, hiring poorly qualified employees simply to check diversity boxes is a recipe for financial disaster.

There’s a good reason why the corporate media loses their minds every time there’s a successful boycott of a product like Bud Light or a progressive series like Star Wars: The Acolyte – Each time this happens the event stands as proof that the political left is a paper tiger, a tiny minority with no power or influence beyond their ties to corporations and governments. They are an astroturf movement created by psychopathic billionaires and politicians.

Consumers and the free market have spoken – They don’t like DEI and will not buy DEI products. But leftists insist the public is being “misled” by the right wing. The only way they can keep the farce going is to continue to maintain DEI programs across the board despite public refusal to participate. If corporate programs start to shut down then the entire facade is shattered. DEI finally dies.

This is probably the motivation behind a recent push by the NAACP, the National Organization for Woman and other “civil rights” activist organizations to pressure companies to keep DEI departments in place. At least 19 of these groups penned and published an open letter to corporate leaders of Fortune 1000 companies demanding that they stop cutting woke programs.

The groups claim that “companies that abandon their DEI programs are shirking their fiduciary responsibility to employees, consumers and shareholders.”

Their statement reads:

“Diversity, equity and inclusion programs, policies, and practices make business-sense and they’re broadly popular among the public, consumers, and employees…But a small, well-funded, and extreme group of right-wing activists is attempting to pressure companies into abandoning their DEI programs…”

Leftists always gaslight by accusing their political opponents of engaging in the same kind of sabotage they engage in all the time. In fact, these businesses only have a duty to their shareholders, and their shareholders are tired of losing money. The “corporate citizen” narrative is not going to fly anymore in 2024.

If there was a market for DEI then it wouldn’t matter if conservatives were boycotting these companies. If woke activists were anything other than an insignificant portion of the population then they would be buying up woke products like crazy and proving conservatives wrong. But, they don’t because they can’t.

In their letter, the civil rights organizations, which also included UnidosUS, the Urban League, Advocates for Trans Equality, the National Women’s Law Center and the American Association of People with Disabilities, said divesting from DEI would alienate a wide range of consumers. Again, the opposite is true. DEI propaganda and hiring practices have greatly degraded company performance, product quality and they have politicized consumer markets in a way that has greatly angered Americans. Get woke, go broke.

It would be brand suicide to continue on this path, which is why so many companies are finally backing away. However, is it too late? Did corporations flirt with leftist ideology for too long and lose their customers forever? Only time will tell.

Ford Isn’t Just Walking Back Its EV Push, It’s Also Ditching Many of Its Woke DIE Policies https://americanconservativemovement.com/ford-isnt-just-walking-back-its-ev-push-its-also-ditching-many-of-its-woke-die-policies/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/ford-isnt-just-walking-back-its-ev-push-its-also-ditching-many-of-its-woke-die-policies/#respond Thu, 29 Aug 2024 07:47:32 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/ford-isnt-just-walking-back-its-ev-push-its-also-ditching-many-of-its-woke-die-policies/ DCNF(DCNF)—Ford Motors announced Wednesday that it is walking back several of its diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies, making it the latest of a number of U.S. corporations to revoke similar measures.

Ford vowed to stop participating in “external culture surveys,” such as the Human Rights Campaign’s [HRC] Corporate Equality Index, promised it does not “use hiring quotas or tie compensation to the achievement of specific diversity goals” and said it would not use quotas regarding “minority dealerships or suppliers,” according to an internal memo sent to employees and obtained by conservative activist Robby Starbuck. The company is “mindful that [its] employees and customers hold a wide range of beliefs.”

“In the past year, we have taken a fresh look at our policies and practices to ensure they support our values, drive business results, and take into account the current landscape,” Ford CEO Jim Farley wrote in the memo.

Ford confirmed to the Daily Caller News Foundation that the letter was authentic and shared with its global employee network.

The decision comes after a variety of other major U.S. corporations have dialed back DEI efforts in recent months.

Home improvement retailer Lowe’s announced that it would stop participating in the HRC survey and would no longer sponsor parades or festivals. Motorcycle manufacturer Harley Davidson discontinued its DEI function as of April and recently announced it no longer operates under DEI guidelines, while Brown-Forman — parent company of Jack-Daniel’s— closed its corporate DEI page and announced it was eliminating supplier diversity targets.

American Airlines, BlackRock and JPMorgan Chase also shifted stance on the topic, revising their DEI language to be less race-based after being threatened with discrimination lawsuits.

An April 2023 Bud Light advertisement featuring transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney resulted in a boycott that cost the parent company up to $395 million in U.S. sales and resulted in the exit of two Anheuser-Busch marketing executives.

Libs of TikTok Highlights the Existential Threat That Far Too Few Are Discussing https://americanconservativemovement.com/libs-of-tiktok-highlights-the-existential-threat-that-far-too-few-are-discussing/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/libs-of-tiktok-highlights-the-existential-threat-that-far-too-few-are-discussing/#respond Sat, 24 Aug 2024 03:38:35 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/?p=210624 With the election around the corner, Americans are concerned about a multitude of challenges. The economy and border invasion are by far the top two on the list because they represent massive threats both personally and to our nation.

On the cultural side, DEI — Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion — has taken center stage as an important secondary issue with Democrats and Republicans squarely opposed. The fight to pull Independents and moderates to one side or the other has been ongoing for years and nobody has fought harder than Libs of TikTok to expose the leftist lunacy.

From men in women’s sports to discriminatory hiring practices to the insane promotion of “gender affirming care” in public schools, Libs of TikTok has continuously addressed the most visible issues. But one aspect of DEI has not received nearly enough attention from conservative media even as it continues to escalate.

On a recent 𝕏 post, she noted that “DEI and gender ideology are destroying our military.”

This cannot be understated. With the high potential for military conflict with at least four enemies on five distinct fronts, our nation has not been this threatened militarily since the Cold War. Moreover, not since the fall of the Soviet Union have our enemies’ military been so comparable to ours.

Instead of strengthening our military might, the leaders in DC are intentionally trying to destroy it. I discussed this on yesterday’s episode of The JD Rucker Show.

California Pushing Radical “LGBTQ+” Propaganda on State Employees, Reveals Mental Health Professional https://americanconservativemovement.com/california-pushing-radical-lgbtq-propaganda-on-state-employees-reveals-mental-health-professional/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/california-pushing-radical-lgbtq-propaganda-on-state-employees-reveals-mental-health-professional/#comments Sat, 13 Jul 2024 10:53:31 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/?p=209705 (Natural News)—More than 250,000 people work for the state of California, meaning “We the People of the Golden State.” And from now on, all of them are required to undergo “diversity, equity and inclusion” (DEI) propaganda courses showcasing LGBTQ+ perversion in order to remain employed.

Elizabeth Jones, an employee for the California Department of State Hospitals (DSH), wrote an article for LifeSiteNews that explains what the forced indoctrination classes entail.

DSH employs about 13,000 people whose job it is to provide mental health services to around 6,500 patients at five state-run hospitals: Atascadero, Coalinga, Metropolitan (in Los Angeles County), Napa and Patton.

Jones spent about two hours clicking through a mandatory course within DSH called “DSH LGBTQ+ Training 2024” that instructs employees about what so-called “LGBTQ affirming care is, how to deliver it and why it matters.”

The beginning of the course features a psychologist and social worker at Napa State Hospital breaking down the difference between “sexual orientation” and “gender identity.”

“I was informed that ‘sexual orientations’ include ‘heterosexual, gay, lesbian, bisexual, asexual and pansexual,'” Jones writes. “Pansexual, according to my notes, ‘means that the person’s sexual behavior and attraction is rooted in connection with the other person, rather than the gender the other person chooses to adopt’ – denying our bodily reality.”

“‘Gender identities,’ on the other hand, describe ‘the labels we put on ourselves regardless of our sexual orientation’ and include woman, man, ‘trans-man, trans-woman, cisgender, transgender, gender non-binary, gender fluid and gender queer,'” added Jones.

(Related: Far leftists in the state of California want parents who try to protect their children from LGBTQ+ perversion to be separated by force from their own families as punishment.)

LGBTQ+ is evil through and through

From there, the course delves into the so-called “gender unicorn” as presented by a social worker named David. The purpose of the unicorn is to illustrate even more made-up differences between concepts like “gender identity,” “gender expression,” “sex assigned at birth,” and “sexual and romantic orientation.”

For far leftists, everything is seen through the lens of sexual activity. All forms of love from familial to brotherly to the charity spoken of in the Bible that applies generally have been reduced by the Cult of LGBTQ+ into perverse sexual deviancy. As such, DSH created an entire course that effectively destroys all innocence and true love by brainwashing California mental health employees and the patients they see into perverting it all into some form of sexual deviancy and abuse.

The course features an additional layer of forced brainwashing in the form of quizzes that force employees to answer hypothetical questions and scenarios in the “correct” way as defined by the Cult of LGBTQ+.

“The patient’s legal name is Genisse Plant and records indicate that the patient was once in a sexual relationship with someone by the name of Patrick Gonzalez,” one quiz question begins. “What do we truly know about this person?”

The “correct answer” according to the Cult of LGBTQ+ is as follows: “We do not have enough information about Genisse’s gender identity or sexual orientation.”

The rest of the course includes an array of additional brainwashing concepts such as “social and systemic oppression of the LGBTQ+ community” and the “unrelenting stress” that LGBTQ+s feel whenever someone does not fully embrace and promote their mental illness.

In the comments, someone quoted the following from the great Russian writer and dissident Alexander Solzhenitsyn, who warned long in advance of all this that: “The greatest mistake that Western societies make is in thinking that communism will never come to their shores.”

If We the People let them, far leftists will continue brainwashing the nation’s children into LGBTQ+ perversion, destroying their innocence and creating a dysfunctional society full of broken people. Learn more at Evil.news.

Former Space Force Officer Says “Separate Chain of Command” Enforces “Divisive Ideology” in Military Academy https://americanconservativemovement.com/former-space-force-officer-says-separate-chain-of-command-enforces-divisive-ideology-in-military-academy/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/former-space-force-officer-says-separate-chain-of-command-enforces-divisive-ideology-in-military-academy/#respond Sat, 06 Jul 2024 19:52:12 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/?p=209563 (DCNF)—A former United States Space Force officer said Saturday morning that diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) is enforced by a “separate chain of command” at the Air Force Academy.

Former Space Force Lieutenant Colonel Matt Lohmeier, who was relieved of command after he spoke out against DEI initiatives in the military in 2021 and says he lost his pension, told guest host Joey Jones on “Fox and Friends Saturday” that the academy “has diversity and inclusion cadet officers” who “report to a separate chain of command.” Jones had referred to an Arizona State University study that found service academies encourage reporting “private conversations that challenge DEI precepts,” asking Lohmeier if he had similar experiences.

“In fact, come to think of it, I did experience that. A fellow commander informed me that they’re aware of my kind of politics and that they’d be happy to turn me into the base commander if I continued to privately criticize our diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives,” he said. “But this problem has grown far beyond what I experienced, personally and professionally in the military workplace.”

“My own alma mater, the U.S. Air Force Academy, has diversity and inclusion cadet officers who wear a special insignia within their cadet squadrons, they wear purple braided rope over the shoulders and they report to a separate chain of command other than their military chain of command, relating to diversity and inclusion issues,” he continued. “It reminds one of Soviet political commissars that have been established both in the Soviet Union and in other Marxist revolutionary efforts throughout the last century.”

Lohmeier called DEI a “very dangerous, very divisive ideology” that is treated “like it is a protected religious worldview” that “others ought to step in line with and support in their words and actions, otherwise face consequences.”

The former commander spoke earlier in the segment about allegedly being fired over his concerns.

“Unfortunately for the American people and for all of the men and women in uniform, it’s been considered for a number of years now to be politically partisan to speak up against diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives,” Lohmeier told Jones. “And of course, anyone who looks into this matter knows it shouldn’t necessarily be considered a partisan issue. I wasn’t interested in being politically partisan while I wore the uniform of the country and was in command of a space force unit, but of course, senior military leaders, especially under the current administration, decided that because of the climate of fear that we had created for ourselves they ought to treat my criticism of diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives as partisan and, quote unquote, hold me accountable for speaking out against it.”

The Air Force Academy did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

It’s Time to Eradicate Divisive DEI Programs From Government https://americanconservativemovement.com/its-time-to-eradicate-divisive-dei-programs-from-government/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/its-time-to-eradicate-divisive-dei-programs-from-government/#comments Mon, 24 Jun 2024 11:10:21 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/?p=208187 DCNF(DCNF)—America stands at a crossroads, facing two distinct paths. One path leads to a future where merit, hard work and individual qualifications open doors of success, fostering unity and opportunity for all. The other path, driven by the misguided agenda of “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” (DEI), leads to division, resentment and a low-trust society where race, gender and sexuality are prioritized over qualifications and merit.

To most Americans the choice is clear, and it is time that Congress follows suit and take a stand for it.

DEI is not the noble cause it claims to be. At its core, DEI practices enforce a system where identity traits are valued above individual abilities and achievements. This approach undermines the fundamental American principle that everyone should have an equal opportunity to succeed based on their hard work and qualifications. Instead, DEI policies create an environment of division and resentment, where people are judged by characteristics over which they have no control rather than their skills and contributions.

The extent of DEI’s reach within our government is staggering. From NASA and the National Science Foundation to the Internal Revenue Service and the U.S. Army, federal agencies are mandated to undergo diversity training. These workshops drill tax collectors on “cultural inclusion,” military commanders on so-called “male pregnancy” and nuclear engineers on the “roots of white male culture.” That same training even instructed engineers to write messages to “white women” and “people of color” about their newfound insights, a clear example of DEI’s condescending and divisive nature that places some Americans above others because of their immutable characteristics.

While these divisive trainings—reminiscent of the Maoist struggle sessions in 20th-century China, which were designed to enforce ideological conformity through public humiliation and coercion—represent one of the problematic aspects of DEI that must be rooted out of our government institutions, there are other equally concerning issues. For instance, in 2022, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued guidance that led some states to ration alternative COVID-19 treatments based on race. This policy, driven by DEI mandates, put lives at risk by prioritizing racial considerations over medical need.

Back in 2022, it was reported that the Department of Defense allocated $2 million for DEI programming in schools for military children. These funds could have been used to improve educational resources but were instead diverted to promote a divisive agenda for the children of members of the military.

This misuse of taxpayer money is not just an affront to fiscal responsibility, it institutionalizes discriminatory practices within our government. In 2023 alone, the Biden administration spent over $16 million on diversity training for government employees and requested an additional $83 million for DEI programs at the State Department. The Office of Personnel Management’s DEI and Accessibility office also received $9.2 million of taxpayer money. These numbers highlight the significant financial burden DEI places on taxpayers, all while fostering division in society.

To combat this, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) and I have introduced the Dismantle DEI Act which would end these practices by broadly prohibiting all DEI-related activities within the federal government. It seeks to cut off funding for DEI trainings, offices and programs and meticulously combs through the U.S. Code to eliminate legal authorizations for these divisive initiatives. By doing so, we are ensuring that these practices are not just reduced, but entirely eradicated from our federal government and the institutions that it mandates.

DEI initiatives, while often presented as efforts to promote fairness, have instead cultivated an environment where people are judged by demographic identifiers rather than their merit. This fundamentally conflicts with the principles of equality and fairness that should be the foundation of our government institutions. By dismantling DEI programs, we are reaffirming our commitment to a system where individuals are evaluated based on their qualifications and abilities, not their race, gender or sexuality.

It is time for Congress to act decisively to eliminate DEI programs and restore a system based on merit and equality. Together, we are committed to taking our message to the American people—a message that promises opportunity for all rather than a select few. The Dismantle DEI Act is a necessary step in restoring to our federal government common sense, fairness and the understanding that all are created equal.

DEI’s Demise: University of North Florida Closes Divisive Department https://americanconservativemovement.com/deis-demise-university-of-north-florida-closes-divisive-department/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/deis-demise-university-of-north-florida-closes-divisive-department/#respond Sat, 04 May 2024 14:13:53 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/?p=203191 (Daily Signal)—The University of North Florida closed its diversity, equity, and inclusion office on Wednesday, but DEI personnel were given new job titles, rather than being fired.

The former chief diversity officer, Richmond Wynn, was not fired, but given a new title—vice president of community engagement and partnerships.

In the new role, Wynn is responsible for “developing and implementing comprehensive strategies to establish and enhance mutually beneficial relationships between the university and communities, stakeholders, and industry partners,” according to his LinkedIn profile.

He also “works with other UNF departments to facilitate and promote on-campus community engagement activities that embed civility and a culture of care throughout UNF, institutional values that support a safe and welcoming environment for all students, faculty and staff.”

Wynn did not respond to a request for comment.

When asked if the job description means Wynn will continue to promote DEI-related initiatives at UNF, a spokeswoman for the university said the closing of the Office of Diversity and Inclusion and its centers is in response to Florida state Senate Bill 266 and regulations approved by the Florida Board of Governors of the State University System of Florida.

Signed by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis last May, the law bars public colleges and universities from spending taxpayer dollars on DEI programs.

“By this week, all the centers were officially closed,” UNF Media Relations Manager Amanda Ennis told The Daily Signal. “Some staff members have left the University for other job opportunities. All other employees have moved to other open positions in the university that are not related to DEI.”

UNF announced in January that it would begin phasing out the Office of Diversity and Inclusion. University President Moez Limayem said that no staff members would lose their jobs as a result, but would be assigned to work in other departments with the same or higher salary.

The new role of Sheila Spivey, who was previously assistant vice president of diversity and inclusion, could not be found online, and an emailed request to her for comment bounced back with an “out of office” notice. Brandi Winfrey, director of inclusive excellence, has not changed her job title on LinkedIn and did not respond to a request for comment.

The diversity office staff also included two administrators, and two to three employees for each center.

UNF will continue offering a handful of DEI-related courses in the fall 2024 semester, according to the course catalog, including Introduction to Educational Leadership for Social Justice; Race, Gender, and Politics; Sex, Race, and Social Class; and Difference, Discrimination, and Oppression.

The latter course addresses “issues of power, inequality, privilege, discrimination and the resulting oppression,” according to the course description.

“Course material will use a social justice perspective for the study of and practice with oppressed groups at all system levels, including those distinguished by race, ethnicity, gender, age, sexual orientation, disability, immigration status, religion and social class,” the description adds.

The webpage that once displayed UNF’s DEI resources now shows “Access Restricted” result, with this message: “You do not have permission to access this resource.”

The page previously included UNF’s “Inclusive Excellence” strategic plan, as well as information on its Intercultural Center, Interfaith Center, LGBTQ Center, and Women’s Center, according to a Wayback Machine internet search.

“Inclusive Excellence employs a broad and inclusive definition of diversity that includes genetic information, race, ethnicity, color, religion, age, sex, ability, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin, veteran status and other important social dimensions that are part of the campus community,” the strategic plan said.

The LGBT Center offered resources on “preferred” personal pronouns, transgenderism, and more.

“Pronouns are a reflection of someone’s gender identity, and to ignore that is to say that their identity isn’t valid,” the resource on pronouns said. “Even when the person isn’t around, using the correct pronouns to refer to them says to those around you that you acknowledge the person’s identity, regardless of how you feel about the person, and encourages others to do the same.”

The page includes a list of common pronouns, as well as “neo” pronouns, such as “Xe/Xem/Xyr,” “Ey/Em/Eir,” “Zie/Zim/Zir,” “Ve/Ver/Vis,” and “Ne/Nem/Nir.”

The Women’s Center was “committed to advocating for gender equality and improving the status of women.”

“We recognize that gender inequalities are deeply connected to other areas of disenfranchisement and oppression in our society,” the archived webpage reads. “Therefore, our programs and services strive to value and promote respect for all differences. This means that women and men and people of all races, cultures, and sexual orientations are welcome in the Women’s Center.”

The Diversity Office webpage also included a statement in support of anti-racism.

“Examining biases and exclusionary practices, and promoting integrity, inclusivity, and ultimately excellence, enhances our personal development, relationships with others, well-being, and global citizenship,” part of the statement reads.

Some UNF students voiced their complaints about the office’s closure on Wednesday.

“I think it’s a travesty we’re shutting down such great resources,” student Emily Roles told WJXT-TV in Jacksonville, Florida.

The UNF Diversity Office closure closely follows the shutdown of DEI at the University of Florida. The home of the Gators sports teams closed an office for a chief diversity officer and eliminated other DEI positions in March, and is reviewing whether the remaining Center for Multicultural Engagement and Inclusion violates state law.

While University of Florida fired DEI personnel, Florida State University took an approach similar to UNF’s, changing the titles and classifications of employees who were in related positions.

The Board of Governors is in the process of reviewing programs in Florida universities to ascertain whether they violate state laws prohibiting DEI instruction, Communications Director Cassandra Edwards told The Daily Signal. She said that programs in state schools found to violate the law will be “eliminated.”

“As this is an ongoing, deliberate process, it will not conclude overnight,” she said. “But rest assured, thanks to Gov. DeSantis’ leadership, state or federal funds will not be used for DEI by Florida’s universities.”

Scott Adams Spreads Epic New Meaning of Woke Acronym “DEI” https://americanconservativemovement.com/scott-adams-spreads-epic-new-meaning-of-woke-acronym-dei/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/scott-adams-spreads-epic-new-meaning-of-woke-acronym-dei/#comments Mon, 25 Mar 2024 09:52:27 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/?p=202176 (DiscernTV)—Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) is a plague in American culture. It rewards mediocrity, stifles success, and generates rewards for those who did nothing to deserve them other than claiming an odd pronoun or having the right skin color. On some of our publications, we refuse to use the acronym, opting to switch the letters around to make it represent its real purpose in America: DIE.

This article is the exception to that rule thanks to Dilbert creator Scott Adams.

He didn’t come up with the new meaning of the acronym, but he’s spreading it to a wide audience of millions and it’s starting to stick.

Whoever came up with “Didn’t Earn It” as the description of DEI might have saved the world.

Normally, the clever alternative names people use to mock the other side’s policy are nothing but grin-worthy.

This one could collapse the whole racist system. It’s that strong.

Didn’t Earn It.” Wow. Spot on. Let’s all share this as the true meaning of the acronym DEI because it actually makes far more sense than the leftists’ version.

Respect for Authorities ‘Died Suddenly’ https://americanconservativemovement.com/respect-for-authorities-died-suddenly/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/respect-for-authorities-died-suddenly/#respond Sun, 11 Feb 2024 11:54:04 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/?p=201069 Well, I guess we know where the Federal Aviation Administration got the idea to fill cockpits with pilots suffering from psychological disorders and mental deficiencies.  The FAA has been watching Dementia Joe Biden fly the United States directly into the ground for three years and decided to do for civil aviation what the White House has done for peace and prosperity.  Nothing better reflects a “crash and burn” leadership style than elevating unqualified people into positions where they can do the most harm.  It’s worked for the West Wing, the Pentagon, and the Treasury Department!  Why not for the agency responsible for air traffic control and passenger safety?  What could possibly go wrong?

Oh, sure, perhaps flyers will die more frequently in fiery collisions or when unbolted aircraft doors shoot off into the clouds, but at least they will leave this mortal coil knowing that the people who build and pilot consumer aircraft represent such an amazing infusion of “diversity” that even the dumbest and most temperamentally unstable among us have been “included” in the life-and-death trust exercise of not falling out of the sky.

That’s what real “equity” requires — redistributing the earned responsibilities of those who have demonstrated merit and commitment to those who have demonstrated mediocrity and unreliability.  It’s why the globalists’ forced DEI standard (diversity, equity, and inclusion — barf!) across the public and private sectors should be more accurately returned to DIE — because wherever the deadly acronym dilutes excellence, living safely becomes less likely.

Come to think of it, Joe Biden is DIE’s perfect mascot.  Angry, confused, and incompetent Old Joe is the Chief Dolt and Grand Pooh-bah of an ass-backward system where the least capable in society thrive.

Given the U.S. government’s love affair with censorship and propaganda, I sometimes imagine future historians piecing through the shards of Western civilization in order to understand the reasons for its collapse.  According to the prevailing “narrative,” everything right now is tremendously great!  We are told that the economy is strong, that crime is under control, that our borders are secure, that paying twenty bucks for a fast-food hamburger is cheap, and that endless war produces endless peace.  According to the news media, Americans have never had it so good!  How then, third-millennium anthropologists might wonder, did everything go kaput so quickly?

Well, hopefully, someone in the future will stumble across a time capsule with Joe Biden’s linguistically challenged press conference from the other day, in which he angrily denounced the Potemkin special counsel’s legal conclusion that, while Decrepit Joe committed federal crimes damaging to America’s national security, he is nevertheless too senile to prosecute.  “The alleged ‘president’ of the allegedly ‘most powerful nation’ in the world betrayed his country, was too incompetent to stand trial, but remained perfectly competent to run for re-election?” some future human chronicler might ask before letting out a high-pitched, “Eureka!  Now I get why everything died suddenly!”

“Died suddenly” might just become the catchall epithet (or maybe epitaph) for our age.  Right now the medical community continues to destroy what’s left of its reputation by refusing to connect the dots between increased rates of cancer and heart disease and the global rollout of the mostly mandated pharmaceutical injections not only falsely touted as cures to COVID, but also falsely labeled as “vaccines.”  Every time a fourteen-year-old athlete “dies suddenly” on the gridiron or basketball court, the ethically compromised killers in white coats throw out all kinds of ludicrous explanations for why healthy young people are losing their lives.  It was stress!  It was red meat!  It was racism!  Or the increasingly ubiquitous it must have been climate change!

It’s funny, if not disturbing, to see all the people who changed their first name to “Doctor” struggle to reach the most obvious conclusion: that an experimental mRNA serum rushed to market without necessary testing or proper scrutiny might be to blame.  Elementary school children with a rudimentary understanding of the Scientific Method and medical ethics would understand the potential harm from requiring healthy patients unlikely to die from COVID to nonetheless be “treated” with untested “vaccines.”  Yet the “first, do no harm” swarm of group-thinkers, who have trouble realizing when pharmaceutical companies are using humans as guinea pigs to make billions in profits, jumped-to and insisted that the whole global population must be injected with possible poisons.

Why would you experiment on anybody unless it was absolutely necessary (and then done only with informed consent)?  Why would you recklessly expand that experiment to the whole human race?  Only the “scientific experts” could trip over such basic precepts of medical ethics on their way to creating a potential global catastrophe.

You would think that the same medical community that unwittingly conspired with evil pharmaceutical companies to hook millions of Americans on OxyContin and other opioids would have been more skeptical when magical COVID elixirs were quickly developed and marketed as cure-alls.  Alas, the gullible are getting only more gullible.  Perhaps this is why “climate change” is still the globalist boogeyman that haunts so many pliant imaginations around the world.  The unscrupulous authorities who lied about the efficacy of lockdowns, masks, and experimental “vaccines” would never lie about “climate change,” right?

What kind of monsters would tell the world that carbon is killing the planet if the science isn’t sound?  Maybe the same globalist monsters who used COVID as a propaganda vehicle for establishing a “Great Reset” are also interested in using “climate change” hysteria to convince people that they must surrender their private property, privacy, and human rights in order to survive.  Would an ethically challenged scientific community work with an even more ethically challenged political class to push a “climate change” hoax that justifies the erosion of individual liberties and the implementation of widespread communism prepackaged in an irrational fear of hydrocarbons?  Duh, of course it would.  When governments became the de facto funders of all academic research in the West, impartial, rigorous, and objective scientific inquiry “died suddenly,” too.

In the “died suddenly” era, authorities don’t seek truth; they seek politically convenient “narratives” that protect the entrenched power of the status quo.  False “experts” fabricate false “realities” that serve as intellectual prisons for weak minds.  The truly astounding thing is that some of today’s most “educated” people are the ones most susceptible to propaganda.  Designer degrees reflect not a proven capacity for critical thinking, but rather a cerebral vulnerability to rigid programming.

Case in point: the “trans” movement.  Nowhere in human history has any society struggled with the biological distinctions separating men from women.  Only in our absurd present age have the most credentialed twisted their neurons into such knots that they know less than those who never had a written language.  One psychologist informed doctors at a medical convention that parents who do not believe that their “trans” children should be pumped full of sterilizing puberty-blockers or have their bodies mutilated are the ones with a “mental illness.”  Increasingly, the “expert class” insists that people not suffering from psychological delusions are the ones who should be branded as delusional and dangerous.

This State-sanctioned “trans” insanity reminds me of a recent “diversity” exhibition in London that pushed the preposterous lie that “Britain was black for 7,000 years” before any white people arrived.  For the academics involved, fraudulent history is good if it advances politically useful narratives.  For everyone else, DIE-obsessed “experts” just look crazy.

At some point, a critical mass of people will reject a governing system overrun by misanthropes, lunatics, sadists, and liars.  Populations do not obey those undeserving of respect.  When respect for authorities “dies suddenly,” old orders will not survive.

In 2020, U.S. Companies Spent a Whopping $8 Billion on Anti-White DEI Propaganda https://americanconservativemovement.com/in-2020-u-s-companies-spent-a-whopping-8-billion-on-anti-white-dei-propaganda/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/in-2020-u-s-companies-spent-a-whopping-8-billion-on-anti-white-dei-propaganda/#comments Fri, 19 Jan 2024 12:29:05 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/?p=200477 (Natural News)—In a 2021 interview with Robin DiAngelo, former MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan of the “Mehdi Hasan Show” stated that companies spent an astounding $8 billion in 2020 alone on “diversity and inclusion” (DEI) programs that discriminate against white people while propping up non-whites.

The resurfaced clip, which is circulating on X (formerly Twitter) – you can also watch it below – comes at a pertinent time when DEI is getting slammed in popular culture as a sham.

The episode of the Mehdi Hasan Show from which the above clip was taken was called “Why White Progressives are Part of the Problem.” It called out DEI, critical race theory (CRT), and other anti-white trends that have emerged in recent years to denigrate and minimize whites throughout American society.

(Related: Be sure to check out what less than three decades of diversity, equity, and inclusion did to Johannesburg, South Africa, which has turned into a “crumbling hellscape.”)

Anti-white racism is trendy

In the interview, Hasan asked DiAngelo about her book, called “Nice Racism,” and what it has to do with corporations spending money on DEI and anti-white race workshops. What Hasan wanted to know is whether or not all that spending actually works towards company goals, allowing them to play “racism get out of jail free” cards.

“Well, I don’t think it does work if it’s not sustained and consistent,” DiAngelo responded. “So, if it’s a one-time thing – a check the box kind of approach – it’s not going to keep going. It has to be sustained.”

“I really would have us question why we think there would be a simple answer or solution. We can take this workshop – or we should be able to take this workshop – and figure out something as perennially complex and deep and enduring and highly adaptive as racism.”

The latest iterations of alleged racism are now being called things like “voter suppression” and “laws enacted that say you can’t acknowledge that racism exists,” as well as efforts to “teach the history of the civil rights movement.”

This ever-moving target known as “racism” has to constantly be addressed by racial training, otherwise the average person would miss it. In other words, “racism” as it is currently defined in popular culture does not exist – unless, of course, we are talking about anti-white racism, which is being institutionalized at the corporate and academic level across America.

DiAngelo endorses what are known as “affinity groups” that she says are an advanced technique used in DEI training. In short, affinity groups are groups of people who are separated by race because there “are aspects” of DEI reprogramming that require people of different races to be taught “separately.”

The people who are hired to lead DEI brainwashing programs typically make a lot of money – upwards of hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars annually goes to each and every DEI leader.

The Chief Diversity officer and related support staff at the University of Florida, for instance, are paid a whopping $750,000 a year. The University of Central Florida‘s Vice President for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, as well as the president’s assistant, together boast a combined salary of $445,000 per year.
