I find this opposition to DEI somewhat perverse since to my mind it has mostly been a tool to add some limited legitimacy to a cruel system devoid of humanity; it was there to wash away the more obvious biases of an unjust system.

To my mind to remove DEI is to accelerate the collapse of the West. It seems counterintuitive to me that the people who are pushing for this seem to be the ones with the most to lose from it.

Participating in this thread had left me feeling like lemmy is much more of an echo chamber than what I thought before.

I like being disagreed with on occasion, but don’t feel like anyone really listened here. That is very internet but also pretty concerning.

Yeah, but propelling them out of the solar system just sounds like the kind of fake-ending that ends up with the super villain coming back stronger in a decade. Have we learnt nothing from science fiction? You have to destroy your foes whilst you can.

So true
