It’s not about diversity, equity, or inclusion. It is about arrogating power to a movement that threatens not just Jews—but America itself.
Twenty years ago, when I was a college student, I started writing about a then-nameless, niche ideology that seemed to contradict everything I had been taught since I was a child.
It is possible I would not have perceived the nature of this ideology—or rather I would have been able to avoid seeing its true nature—had I not been a Jew. But I was. I am. And in noticing the way I had been written out of the equation, I started to notice that it wasn’t just me, but that the whole system rested on an illusion.
What I saw was a worldview that replaced basic ideas of good and evil with a new rubric: the powerless (good) and the powerful (bad). It replaced lots of things. Color blindness with race obsession. Ideas with identity. Debate with denunciation. Persuasion with public shaming. The rule of law with the fury of the mob.
People were to be given authority in this new order not in recognition of their gifts, hard work, accomplishments, or contributions to society, but in inverse proportion to the disadvantages their group had suffered, as defined by radical ideologues. According to them, as James Kirchick concisely put it: “Muslim > gay, black > female, and everybody > the Jews.”
I was an undergraduate back then, but you didn’t need a PhD to see where this could go. And so I watched, in horror, sounding alarms as loudly as I could.
I was told by most Jewish leaders that, yes, it wasn’t great, but not to be so hysterical. Campuses were always hotbeds of radicalism, they said. This ideology, they promised, would surely dissipate as young people made their way in the world.
It did not.
Over the past two decades I saw this inverted worldview swallow all of the crucial sense-making institutions of American life. It started with the universities. Then it moved on to cultural institutions—including some I knew well, like The New York Times—as well as every major museum, philanthropy, and media company. Then on to our medical schools and our law schools. It’s taken root at nearly every major corporation. It’s inside our high schools and even our elementary schools. The takeover is so comprehensive that it’s now almost hard to notice it—because it is everywhere.
Including in the Jewish community....
DEI is about destroying Western Civilization.
We need UNITY, not diverity. This is the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, AND WITH LIBERTY FOR ALL.
“It started with the universities.”
A result of the vietnam war ...
all the weenies hid in the schools and then stayed there.
Patriots and men went to die ... it was a plan.
And they may be about to try it again.
The frogs are boiling. Jews awaken to the threat of genocide. MAGA is next. Unfortunately it will take a catastrophe to dislodge DEI.
Jews funded, voted, and pushed DEI.
DEI ruined the military, corporations, merit, education, and the country.
Now I’m supposed to give a damn? Sorry, all out.
FR threads on US immigration and deportation this month - zero.
FR threads on Jews/Israel this month - 587
Racists, control freaks, America haters, and globalists love DEI.
Do we really need to know anything else to know DEI is one of Satan’s tools?
Good point! Distraction is a rat favorite.
Not really. It’s time for DEI to just DIE!
It’s Veterans Day, so it won’t be a good example, but just take notice on Monday.
The fundamental destruction of our country and there’s crickets.
More threads on ugly chicks ripping posters of missing Israelis.
Why are there posters of missing Israelis in America?
How many missing American children are there?
F these gaslighting people.
“DEI is about destroying Western Civilization.”
And at it’s root is the need to destroy individual human dignity. No one can speak for themselves; they must be a product of the past. History determines whether you are privileged or oppressed, and points the direction, in righting the wrongs of the past, of your new social standing.
And if you do not accept that, you are marked for disposal.

She left out the Christians, but otherwise it can't be said much better than that.
DEI is new camouflaged for an old corruption, downward levelling, presented as "social justice."
The impulse towards downward levelling has three deep roots. The first is simple greed: "I want, therefore I will take."
The second is resentment. This can be rationally based if wealth, status and power have been gained by illegitimate means. But very often, and flagrantly at this point, resentment is often a toxic projection of a deeply internalized inferiority complex.
Third, resentment is often cultivated as a political tool by people whose real objective is power. This is certainly true today. DEI is being exploited as a mask for a power grab. The outcome of DEI policies will not significantly benefit the mass of the "victim group" being fetishized -- and objectively, it often makes them worse off -- but it will benefit the elites who use it as an extortion racket.
The third is by far the dominant factor today.
I believe that the Holocaust was allowed to manifest out of the minds of evil people, like Hitler, but many others, because of the principle of victimology. Germany was crushed by the Allies in World War II, and their was a punitive revenge element that surfaced after its conclusion. The Germans were almost destroyed economically, and were emotionally and psychological destroyed as well. Hitler was able to bring the core hatred to the surface by blaming “Jews”, who he was able to assign the blame of their destruction by the false premise that Jews controlled the banks, and thus the economies of the world. In other words, the Banks of the World. He was therefore able to stoke a “Victim Class” in Germany first, and then the entire World, who were told (read Mein Kamph), that the solution to their problems were to kill the Jews, who were responsible. Whiteness has been allowed to become the new oppressors, and therefore must also be removed from society. All non whites are being convinced that they are victims as well, so their history is being changed to accommodate them. Hitler was a NATIONAL Socialist, and the battle plan now is almost the same as then.
Wasn’t Bari a big lib?
Obama
I think she was shocked when she opened her eyes.
The order is wrong. It is NOT Diversity Equity Inclusion. It’s Diversity Inclusion Equity, DIE, for that is its destiny, to DIE.
The basis for DIE is that success is due only to luck, not effort. Therefore, wealth must be taken from the lucky, and given to the unlucky. It’s as simple as that. Israel didn’t gain its wealth through hard work and effort, turning arid desert into a wealthy oasis. No, it was ‘lucky’. Elon didn’t build Space X and Tesla through intelligence, hard work, innovation, and discovery. No, he was ‘lucky’. White CEOs didn’t gain their positions from 100 hour work weeks and no vacations. No, they were ‘lucky’. Welfare queens getting up at noon, taking in a new boyfriend in the afternoon, and feeding him on welfare payments aeren’t lazy. No, they’re ‘unlucky’.
The problem, of course, is that once you take away the wealth from the ‘lucky’ and give it to the ‘unlucky’, it will simply be gone, and there will be none to replace it. that’s happened every time Marxism has been tried.
It will DIE.
Exactly.
I learned something as a kid, I went to college and was exposed to my own thoughts,
I screamed out on paper my angst,
and now I don't know where I'm going.
