WOKE is still applicable but in a more limited role now.
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"
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.
The idea itself is good
Wholeheartedly agree. My issue is that at my workplaces, it's always just been a corporate buzzword rather than an actionable goal.
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.
ETA before the hogs are just going around getting mad at [glottal stop meaning "bad thing"]?
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
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.
Ironically it’s usually white women that do get hired to these things lol
It will miss out on competence, yes, but intensifying caste hierarchies is also one of the ways capitalism stabilizes itself
Surely it’s equality and not equity right? I’m not sure there is a difference, but equity doesn’t sound as apt.
It's equity. Id recommend googling the difference between equity and equality, they have some really important differences.
Thanks.
I did Google and you’re right. They’re similar, but with distinct differences.
TIL.
what an obnoxious comment. look it up, dumbass.
equity doesn't sound as apt!!!!Chill my guy. I was only being curious about the words.
Obnoxious? In what way?
not curious enough to look it up though?
it's annoying having to read the words you write. im talking about your existence.
Just like having interaction with people sometimes.
Have a great day my guy.
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.
This might be where I check out.
I've been hanging on since "politically correct"
DEI? Miss me with that woke shit... Better get in my pickup truck and DUI
Have they forgotten about CRT yet? Haven't heard that one in a while.
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.
I don't think chuds realized anything, they just got bored and moved on to the next thing.
kindergarteners learning about nam jun paik and the development of the trinitron
But i just dyed my hair blue :(
I’m always late to the party ….
:hair
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 💀
All conservatism is pretty much just American conservatism. Remember those Canadian truckers protesting American vaccine mandates?
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.
Too late HR is already firing all the "diversity hires" as a wave of budget cuts come.
I'mma go back to saying conscious since they fucked up woke smh
