Greed and Superiority are both illusions practiced by those that live with fear as their master true freedom is from a balance and respect given to all true strength and power is the ability to be kind and fair in chaos ...
Firing for DEI supposedly aims at diversity but not discrimination, while firing someone Black is considered racial discrimination and illegal under the law. The former portends to (wink, wink) "restructuring;" the latter is universally prohibited. More or less a racist loophole.
DEI is an umbrella term for anyone the administration deems unworthy to fulfill their mission goals, whereas racism specifically targets non-whites in the US.
And if any African Americans reading this don’t know what “Convict Leasing” was / is - they need to Google it. Because that is their future here in Amerikkka.
It is obvious that DEI means putting incompetent, usually white men, in charge where DEI humans have done, and could be doing a much better, vastly superior job. It is horrifying, heartbreaking, infuriating to witness this madness: the destruction of the USA by white incompetence and racist hatred.

Nothing… Hegseth is as wholly unqualified a SecDef as there has ever been… obviosuly… and he’s firing men and women who are a million times the soldier he could ever dream of being simply because they are men and women of color… this regime is making our military weaker not stronger…
And since they intend to align with the authoritarian axis, they don't actually need a capable military. They only need a loyal one that can be used on practically defenceless states and for domestic enforcement.
Firing someone for being a "DEI hire" is actually much broader. Basically it's anyone who isn't a white, straight, cis, Christian nationalist male. Hardcore members of FOTUS' regime think only that one class should have access to all but the most menial jobs and rights in America. 1950s, but worse.
The dinosaurs of white privileged patriarchy are having a meltdown.
The mediocre white male hasn't had to evolve.
They are the weakest creatures on the planet.
Preach! I’ve been saying it since Trumps first ascent. This has never been about republican, “conservative” policies. It’s all about white male insecurity. I just can’t with anyone else who voted for him. For them, guess it was straight up the evil part.
As a straight white male i want to formally apologize. I wish more of us weren't like that & would actually evolve but as long as the Republicans are around that's never going to happen.

none.. its firing for race and gender and i suspect they have the entire social media files on each person they fire... getting rid of the enemies AI identified for them... that is almost a certainty
Because they are a woman? Because they are brown? Because they aren’t cis? Because they speak with an accent? Really, anything that’s not straight white male.
What astounds me is trump was clear in his own remarks that "DEI hire" includes people with disabilities. Yet, what I saw - and continue to see - from "the left" was quickly moving to invisiblize people with disabilities in the discource of what their "DEI hire" trope really means.
Naturally, this response from "the left" leaves me wondering, what's that about? Why does "the left" consistently fail to acknowledge that people with disabilities are clearly in his cross-hairs ??
Absolutely nothing. They are manipulating what is simply an effort to give everyone the same chance to excel into a collective racist sexist homophobic term to abet hiring racist unqualified whit men.

Well firing them because they are black and then hiring a less qualified white person, is literally the reason they have DEI initiatives. So less qualified white men can’t just come and steal people’s jobs.
There has been a long standing, inadequate, US federal definition of discrimination that as long as you have at least one X in your Y then Y is not discriminating against X.
DEI goes further to promote equity and inclusion, and that's what they are systematically dismantling.

I mean, trump even GAVE us an opening to not invisiblize people with disabilities with his own remarks after the plane crash, but still no... people went right to the sole focus on race and invisiblized people with disabilities anyway.
I pointed that out to more than one, that "DEI hire" refers to more than race, it also includes people with disabilities... trump himself made that clear in his own remarks. The responses to my comment were mostly "yeah-but..." and switching the focus back to solely race again.
So what if ppl were just hired for their race? People need to chill. Seriously. We need to quit the victim mentality in this country.
There are plenty of jobs. As a matter of fact, unemployment is way down. It's a non issue. Why all the hubbub, bub?
Anyhoo, that's what I'd say, lol. 🤷♀️
How you identify. The DEI scapegoat allows people to identify both as the victim of injustice and the heros correcting injustice. The alternative is to identify as racist.
DEI is the perceived threat of white christian nationalists, that anyone not “them” is a substandard, subhuman threat to be controlled and exploited. It’s straight racism now encompassing other “threat” groups not to their liking.
Especially when you replace the highly qualified four star Black general with a woefully unqualified three star White general who couldn’t get promoted.
Spell it out. It's Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. Also when referring to the CFPB, spell that out too! It's the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Just using acronyms, erases what they are.
Apparently Anti-DEI means firing someone who IS highly qualified BECAUSE they are black or a woman or gay or... (it's a long list)
and replacing them with a less qualified white male.
Mediocre white men like Hegseth have had to realize that for most of history their predecessors benefitted by not having to compete with women and racial minorities. This is all an effort to return to those glory days and call it meritocracy once again.
In this administration, nothing. If you’re Black and in a position of authority, it MUST be because you’re a DEI hire, on which Trump has declared open season.
Black is a truly significant sector of DEI. However… do not ever forget, it also describes EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US!! that are not WHITE

Dummied down Americans don’t understand what DEI means, they have no clue that it includes women and veterans. None of them will admit to being racist.

Nothing, nothing at all. DEI just gives further range to include all non white shades of skin, women, LGBTQ+ and the disabled in one acronym. They have made it the mother load of hate.
Exactly the point. The media need to stop playing Trump's game and stop using his euphemism and say what it actually is - blatant racism. And firing women - blatant misogyny.
I think the blatant assumption that the success of any non white male is inherently suspicious is so discombobulating that reasonable people don't know how to process.
The alternative facts state DEI is not fair. DEI is anyone who isn’t white/male/straight/christian. Also we must ignore white/male/straight/christian NEPO hires because they are anti-DEI and therefore good.
Firing them because they are female is also “for DEI.” They don’t believe any black man or any woman achieves anything on merit. They are racist sexist white nationalists pure and simple.
There is no difference. Until very recently this would have been condemned. DEI has been rebranded in the MAGA playbook as the reason why some less qualified straight white men aren’t leading the privileged lives they feel entitled to. This runs cover for transphobia, racism and misogyny.
Or a woman, or gay, or trans. He's a fool surrounded by sycophants & Fox news. There aren't enough skinheads to fill the ranks and no one else is going to go anywhere near the military. I suppose they could bring back the draft with only white men in top positions.

Thin line, but if they’re adequately “pick me” — think Grenell, or the footballer they put in charge of HUD — they’re tolerated as useful despite their perceived inferiority.
DEI is potentially far broader and also allows for the firing of women, other ethnic minorities, LGBTQ people, disabled people and everybody else deemed inferior to white men?
It takes a lot more words to explain how being anti-DEI is racist than to explain how being anti-black is.
It's just camouflage for their agenda of hate.

DEI is black while Merit is white. I heard some black people say before the election that they hated DEI because they wanted to get into positions based on merit. They just didn’t get it.

Inclusion
For anyone to be against what those words mean.
That should be universally prohibited and socially ostracized. IMO
We have Russian army as example of how this works out.

When you fire for being black, you are racist.
Or you may fire because you are racist and pretend not to know what DEI means.
In the first case you need to know someone is a DEI hire, otherwise that's racism too.

You could.... i dunno.... just compare their actual merits.
