What is DEI?

Good day, World.

Now that the powers that be in the United States government are excoriating and purging anything from its existence that involves what they deem as "DEI woke programming," it is important in this moment to define what exactly they mean by this. See, unlike the surprised millions that have begun to cry out in protest since the plans have begun being executed, I see that the Orange Emperor and his flying monkeys have been telling everyone the entire time this would happen. Trump and his ilk played upon your own fears and prejudices in order to fleece you, specifically by never defining what the full scope of DEI implied so that you would never consider being a part of the out group. Having always been a member of one of the oldest minorites, however, I knew what was to come. 

One must keep in mind the basic messaging behind leftists versus most of every other political group. In general terms, the Left proclaims they desire things to be more simple for everyone, with assistance for previously ignored or disenfranchised groups like the disabled, minorities that have endured hardships over generations, social outcasts, etc. Meanwhile, the Right says these problems aren't real because acknowledging the fucked up things they or their families had to do to get rich and powerful might make them feel bad or something. What's the point of power if there's no slaves to lord over? 

"Unchecked Capitalism: It Works For Me!"™️

The problem with the poor, stupid Redhats is that they never noticed the terminology used. See, when you roll back the tape on human rights in America, you may notice that there are a lot of groups that have been given basic rights and benefits over time. Women, children, ethnic and social minorities, the disabled, the elderly, the poor and homeless, and others have been given things in order to acknowledge the inequalities and failures of the present system to adequately care for its citizens. These, my friends, are all considered groups that could be lumped into DEI. People in the center of the country are ballasted by federally redistributed funds from states full of "coastal elites," and now those funds are being taken away, now the pale center of the country feels the sinking realization that perhaps they were not fully informed on who these DEIggers were.

See, they took the implication game, used it to play against your racism, and then played you. Yes, there are token gestures of casual racism happening, as the mass removal of anything that could even be construed as beige happens throughout government buildings and websites, but really we're all DEIggers now. 

So, what's to be done? Opposite motion. Does someone who voted for your annihilation tell you to endorse something or someone? Do the opposite. Find an alternative. Research what brands your politicians are tied to and sever yours to them. Stay out of jail and sabotage their pockets, as money is all they care about. Pool resources with large groups, then move to Red states en masse and terraform the voting structures of places, colonizing and gentrifying like the rich do to us. Don't spend any money and hold your income. In the end, doing what you are directed to do always suits someone else's plan. Make one.

On Anger

 Just had an observation. Some people use anger like a costume, a blustering external display in order to retain control, instill fear, or otherwise manipulate the perception of onlookers. They like to whip frenzies, speak whichever dog whistle phrases are most effective at sparking more in others, and generally speak in flat, opaque terms. The simplest solution to whichever problem their non-diagnosed brains find most pressing is always best to these people, and usually said answer ends with some out group reaping the net negatives of whatever broad problem they complain most about. It is a mask, and whether they genuinely understand what they are doing or not depends upon their level of intelligence.

Some people hold anger like lava in their bellies, vomiting forth from their esophagus with very little control as to its direction once it begins to flow. It is a constantly roiling, almost alive thing that hisses and snaps at the slightest provocation, but does not erupt without prior warning. Even while the surface may seem solid, the slag that forms atop the pool is merely a thin illusion that is still hundreds of degrees to the touch. Contained by one's own guts, it burns them and anyone they come in contact with if too many stimuli shake them. They just want peace, but the world will not let it come.

When these two meet, we find ourselves in the situations that we are in today. The world is being run by a bunch of blusterers who have systems full of sociopaths murdering us every day in myriad ways. Wars waged by inaccurate and soulless AI, destitute people left to the wolves as government services get cut, government tariffs stealing more money out of everyone's pockets as we all struggle to figure out what is next...we are the lava swallowers. We eat the fire we are given and try to survive on it, but we are left with the anger of the struggle. It is a slow thing, a digested anger that we believe we have processed, but have not. 

Our anger is meeting the bluster of several empty, costumed bullies and making their façades collapse. They are sociopaths underneath and we see it. Keep fighting. Control the lava flow as best you can. Keep it legal, keep it decentralized, keep going.

On Race Relations and The Far Right

Good day, World.

So, a lot of Right-leaning whites rely heavily upon stereotypes in their thinking regarding black individuals because they refuse to engage with an individual they already think themselves better than. Instead of seeing us as a person, then, they view every black person as a walking embodiment of every negative stereotype they're ever heard, a monolithic, slightly sexy, threatening presence that is here to steal their women, lie to their family, and kill them. No matter what we wear, how we act, or how qualified we are, we are the liberal scum, the oldest thorn in the side of the Republican dream for existing in their spaces. 

Unfortunately, they are unable to see past a manufactured veil of negativity pushed by the racist elites that magnifies our negative aspects and purposely obfuscates our positive ones. I still remember making a semi-serious video a long time ago about how to interact with black people. I just said that you should deal with us as individuals, not whatever preconceived notions you have, just like every other person you know. Now, none of my content has a lot of reach, so I was not expecting anything from, well, anyone. Soon after, however, I got an angry comment from a user. After clicking their profile, I saw that they literally made a response video of the most racist stereotypes I could ever hear. "Black people WILL steal from you" and stuff like that. I couldn't even ask to be judged as a human, not a stereotype without some destitute, brainwashed white bigot getting so angered by it that he needed to make a response video. Ridiculously good programming.

Most whites seem to be able to push past the hatred and see that it is a ruse, but these extremists that have steered our country toward ruin and division also happen to be the oligarchs and aristocrats that truly turn the wheels behind the scenes. Even those who do make it through the fog are still left with lasting perceptions and leftover prejudices that I have been told to my face were things they had to work through. I sincerely hope that more can fight past it and realize that we are all in this together, and with the current state of the country, we need it now more than ever.

How? Engage with people you don't know. Is a racial, ethnic, or minority group being demonized in the media? Talk with those willing to talk with you, as not every person is willing to engage with someone they may perceive as a threat. The key difference between the fears of the negatively stereotyped minority and those who spin the prevailing narrative is that the out group exists within a society that collectively decided unless said culture fit a very narrow set of arbitrarily shifting standards that they should not exist. This is the height of hypocrisy, as they consistently strip and assimilate any unique aspect of any culture they find entertaining or attractive.

Have a basic conversation. Talk and listen. Everyone can use this simple advice these days, as understanding leads to progress and willful ignorance plays neatly into the plans of the fascists and out-of-touch billionaires that would use you. 

Twitter is dead. All transmissions through here.
