Explains why segments of the online right stepped up to defend Indian civilization during the whole H1B discourse.

Is DEI bad? Capitalism is bad. States are bad. Anything that puts the language of liberation in the service of propping up capitalism or the state is very bad.

Yes I described it further down as a natural tendency of the status quo, not a nefarious plot. More systems theory, less QAnon.

Not sure where my wording - "response" - got twisted into "secret plan"

That sounds important. Maybe it's not fair that DEI's become synonymous with its corporate bastardization, because the spirit of it is worthwhile. Though the corporate form seems to have been Rufo's primary rhetorical target, which always cracked me up cause like... please... take it...

I would never consider this a nefarious scheme; it's just a natural tendency of the status quo... but the playbook they draw from was developed very intentionally over decades by the US intelligence community.

This is not a "source" to "prove" a claim. This is an essay that is part of a broader conversation on the left

You could just ask politely if I can suggest any reading on the subject, as people often do.

You werent my intended audience. But since you were so eager to share your opinion, I figured I'd see what you were bringing. It's always safe to assume that not everything posted publicly on social media is intended for you.

I have a standard... low information + no opinion = ripe for a good organizing conversation. Low information + loud opinions = ignorant, waste of time

Im happy to get a coffee and talk you through all this in person if you're actually interested

Alternative? That's easy. Diversity and inclusion in revolutionary anticapitalist movements. You should have asked sooner

I actually live offline and have these types of conversations every day. Weird, I know.

Like I would love to have a thoughtful disagreement with someone with something remotely interesting to say. If you know anyone like that, please invite them into the thread.

No, Im just realizing that you are lacking in a baseline level of knowledge on the subject of domestic counterinsurgency and it feels like arguing with a kindergartener.

Oh, jeeze I think you jumped into the wrong post! I wasn't the one who said that. No biggie though.

It seems you're lacking in basic political education. You don't have any baseline reference points to even begin understanding what I'm talking about and are awkwardly googling your way through it. These concepts are pretty thoroughly studied and debated in left movement spaces.

Plenty of Billionaires loved DEI. It's about where they view their best chances for self-preservation. The Dem program is a good place to turn if you're concerned about a popular uprising threatening your profit margins. When that threat is diffused, you can run back to the side of naked oppression

Oh no, I wasnt referring to left hands, I was referring to the political Left. Sorry for the confusion!

1. Absolutely 2. I see you googled; try reading through some of the sources 3. The bogeyman of militant racial liberation movements (see: Black Panthers, BLA, Macheteros, etc) 4. I don't follow

I think maybe you didnt read my follow up, which referenced the militant street action we saw in the wake of George Floyd's murder. Counterinsurgency applies domestically as well. See also: Cointelpro

It might benefit you to google "counterinsurgency," which is, importantly, the opposite of insurgency.

You have provided nothing of value to this conversation. Just another hostile weirdo on social media.

Its mass adoption was a corporate/Democrat response to the George Floyd uprising designed to contain and redirect a brewing militant race-class movement into bureaucratic managerialism. Corporations wore the costume for a couple of years and chucked it in the trash as soon as they were in the clear.

Hilarious that this was the guy's life mission as if any genuine left movement would feel this as a loss. Good riddance to Democrat counterinsirgency.

The people you refer to openly and unapologetically believe in natural hierarchy, will to power, aristocracy of the spirit - and, to be redundant, eugenics. This contradiction has been resolved. It's time to adapt our analysis.

If anyone cares to learn about the brutal repression and mass incarceration that followed Cuba's 11J protests in 2021, this is a good place to start justicia11j.org . 4 of the detainees have died in prison in just 3 years.
comment in response to

And sure, there are a few shady CIA asset-type freaks locked away, but hundreds of people just got caught up in the 11J protests a few years back and haven't seen the light of day since.

Every year, on the morning of my birthday, the used car dealer who sold me my old Hyundai calls to wish me a happy birthday. He is usually the first one to call.
