Please stop. I literally made this thread a while back

I believe in people getting opportunities. What I don’t like are thought police, or thought correction officers.
Left authoritarianism is still authoritarianism.
I also don’t take it for granted that someone talking about “empathy” or “compassion” necessarily doesn’t have ulterior motives.
DEI only irks people who are racists. For everyone else, it's just a hiring process.
DEI is for all identities, not just POC. Creating more process is part of the the CIA field manual for fighting fascists, hence the question, are more bureaucratic jobs being created in some misguided attempt to “fight US imperialism”?
The only DEI identity that's bureaucratically clogging up America's system is all that Russian money pumped into your politicians.
When you are already in a hole, stop digging!
No, I won't. Considering what you wrote in your linked post, why are you asking such strange questions?
Thought police? Yet you're ok with being told not to touch/compliment women's butts at work??
I won't stop because you're hilariously inept 🤣
I am asking these questions because we already have EO laws and ADA policies. We also have anti-harassment policies. What does DEI add that’s new other than create more bureaucratic jobs?
From my perspective, DEI just creates divisions between groups by splitting people into distinct identities.
Why wouldn't you ask your questions like that initially?
The more you talk, the less confident I am of your good faith.
You seem troubled and confused about why helping all people is a good thing. Good luck to you.
Tbh, I am coming to terms with my own vulnerability to fall for leftist propaganda.
Sounds like a post straight out of /r/conservative.
Right wing lunatic cosplaying as a leftist whose "just asking questions" and "growing weary of the leftists dictatorial attempts at control"
It's so transparent, they think they're smart like a kid giggling behind the couch during hide and seek.
Right versus left is an effective distraction from rich versus poor.
Please do explain how to give such people opportunities without any "thought police" being involved...
