Expecting consistency between beliefs and actions from bigots and fascists is a mistake.
They see their wives as property, not humans
“Laws for the, not for me”
Because it’s a class war
You’re making the error of assuming conservatives have a status quo, or a party line, or any agenda other than being evil.
They consider women pets. They aren’t people to them.
Ugh. I hate how correct you are:/
Their goal is power, and they will use the most efficient and effective means at their disposal to secure it. Their actions are not guided by higher values or logic.
Don’t try to understand fascists, you have to give up logic to be one.
People are not generally as self-reflective as you might think; when someone settles upon a core belief, they tend to stick with it for the rest of their lives, with any challenge to it being treated as a threat rather than as a potential opportunity for growth. You might think that when a core belief is completely wrong and leads to disastrous negative consequences that this might at be enough to lead someone to give it up, but strangely the mind does not actually work this way.
(I mean, I am not saying that these people are not also evil and/or oily snakes, but I think that there is value in observing the mental fallacies at work in others so that we can better spot them at work in ourselves, since our own mind is the one thing that we have at least some limited control over.)
Double standards.
DEI for me but not for thee?
Their wives are not dei because that’s not what dei means.
Don’t accept their language.
The theory behind DEI policies is to formally challenge personal bias (both explicit and subconscious) in hiring and participation. There’s nothing inherently tied to unfairly favoring minority groups other than the fact that they are usually the target of negative bias.
It’s a pretty basic and logical idea that acknowledges human fallibility. I hate that it was rapidly co-opted on all sides as a shorthand for racism and opposition to cis-white-male dominance.
It’s a position that could have been filled by a man but a woman was selected instead. hmmmmmm
bit idea: psyop conservatives into saying that gay sex is the most manly
That’s the funny thing: they don’t.
Hypocrisy is written all over their souls… If they have any, that is.
You assume they care about truth as an ideal to uphold.
Their optimization model is set to maximize power and wealth for their people. Truth is a tool to use or discard as needed in reach of their goal. It makes perfect sense, just not within the logic and morals framework you or I would use.
DEI during hiring is things like:
- Making sure job postings are put up in spaces where minority populations have a similar chance to see them as majority populations. I.e. post at HBCU and Women’s colleges’ job boards, not just at the hiring manager’s alma mater.
- Making sure the application portal is accessible to those with disabilities
DEI during employment is things like:
- continuing unconscious bias training
- educating about the existence of diverse backgrounds and how that can benefit your team
- encouraging communication among your team members about how they approach problems, overcome obstacles, and achieve results
DEI is not (though the right commonly likes to use it this way):
- A slur for non-white male presenting people
- A diversity hire
- A socially acceptable term in lieu of the n-word
DEI during employment is things like:
continuing unconscious bias training educating about the existence of diverse backgrounds and how that can benefit your team encouraging communication among your team members about how they approach problems, overcome obstacles, and achieve resultsAnd this right here is why people don’t like it, and how the current administration is able to get away with the stuff they say.
