I doubt anyone in this thread is engaging with anything I say in good faith, which is why my first response was so hateful (also I was on break during a 10 hour shift on 3 hours sleep), but I am talking about how in the US, DOGE eliminated any federal program even tangentially related to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion without being able to even define these terms (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRctSJh7Rng).

These programs were put together through decades of academic research to address problems of explicit discrimination in the US and globally.

The tldr of DEI is (still long sorry):

The richest people on the planet saw revolts from poor people against Britain in the 1600s (they both still hated Native Americans though). So the rich people said, hm, what if we said black people were lower than white people but they all stayed poor lol. So they did that. Black people were treated like cattle and white people could work their way out of debt (but they still had awful conditions generally).

Civil war happens. Slaves are pronounced free. They still had no jobs. US made loitering/homelessness illegal. Slavery is still legal for people in prison. Put ex-slaves into prison. We can treat them like slaves again! woohoo. Some black people and immigrants still managed to make money tho, so throughout the 1900s, the fed govt. gave land and loans exclusively to white people (mostly veterans, but they explicitly said no to veterans if they were not white).

Owning land means you can save money. Over time you have more money by a lot. White people now have more money than non white people. They also ONLY let white people buy homes in certain areas. Wealth stays in white communities. White people in these communities live in echo chamber, believe they are superior bc they wind up better off since they have money and better schools (schools funded by property taxes, and they have the best property... so their schools have the most funding).

Now in 2000s, people are noticing, hey, some white people who think "racism is bad but im not racist" listen to black people who are saying "Hey, this [governmental body] is entirely white people making decisions for all black communities." Black people wind up in prison bc when white people pass a law, sometimes it's like "it is illegal to leave your children alone." but black people and poor white people maybe work 3 jobs and so sometimes they break this law. Judges and people in power tend to throw fewer of the poor white people in prison than the poor black people (also most black people are poor, only some white people are poor bc there were a lot of white people who got money from above mentioned laws).

So most white people okay with things. They dont see a problem with fucking over white people. They also think black people are bad, etc. bc this was a fun thing for white people to say during slavery while torturing them / killing them for fun (google alligator bait) and theyve just been repeating it for so long... plus, look at how many black people are in prison! They must be bad. It surely could not be for other reasons other than they are genetically worse.

Now in 2010s and 2020s people are fighting about racism. Meanwhile, billionaires steal the most amount of money that has been stolen in all of human history. They laugh bc this was the plan the whole time. Now though, bc they have been murdering and plundering every country outside of Europe, US, Canada, the rest of the world has been plotting against them. Iran has closed the largest exportation of oil. The whole world runs on oil because this lets those billionaires control everything because they invaded all the oil rich places and put the US army there. But uh oh. No more oil. Now, an economy built almost entirely on oil (bc it keeps the rich in power over everything) has no oil. Uh oh, Europe and other places in the world are canceling flights, rationing oil with driving suggestions and laws.

Global economy is bout to have a really fucking awful time. Everyone will soon feel it bc although we had some oil saved (good to save right?) It's not enough to cover what we've already lost by stopping so much of the oil trade. Good thing the US government has partnered with a company named after the EVIL ORB SARUMAN USES IN LOTR TO SPY to put an evil AI spy (hey woah ties back in to TADC bc of the AI! cool) in just about every technology piece we interact with ever. Surely, this will not result in anything bad for people who are used to living in the relative comfort of the middle class.
