I also think DEI is awful: Don Jr, Eric, and Ivanka, yuck! The worst of his spawn.

Woke furries for the win.

DEi: Democrats, Education and Immigrants, the three deadly dangers.

It's probably a coincidence, but so-called "underhanded" techniques like this used to be referred to as "ratfucking." Anyway, here's to more left-wing ratfucking.

Furry hackers, they will be the Alan Turing of our struggle against fascism. May you yiff long and prosper.

So, we murder them after they save us?

I think the difference right now is the anti-fascists are either part of the community or supportive of them, so I think we're good this time. I hope. Ffs I really hope so.

"Well, you saved us from the fascists, but it is illegal for you to be a furry and the penalty is death"

"But that was one of the laws the fascists made! Why the fuck would you honor that?"

"They take the low-road and we take the high-road. If you only ever remove legislation the other side enacts, you'll never get anything done, ya know?"

Don't expect corporations to join the DEI movement because they care about minorities. They do it for the money. When the wind of change arrives, some people might be surprised by how quickly and completely corps change their minds

quickly and completely corps change their minds

What pisses me off is how utterly willing any given minority is willing to boot-lick a corporation because of a rainbow avatar or 50 word statement of support or whatever.

Corporations will, at best, pretend to be your friend until it's no longer convenient for them to do so, then your ass is out on the street.

Don't fall for it when they change their mind again, because they are at very best minimal-effort dont-rock-the-boat-too-hard temporary performative allies.

In our country, that's laughably obvious. How can I tell? Companies in their "inclusive" visuals use people of "minorities" not actually present in our country. So the message falls flat. If they really would like to believably support inclusion, they could include some members of the real oppressed minorities which we do have locally. But no, they import their messaging from abroad.

It was funny when Europeans would use BIPOC. Like 90% of us are indigenous and Americans invented that term specifically to exclude us.

I for one fully support the hacking, social engineering, or any underhanded ways to get into the accounts of these people and fucking with them back.
Seriously how fragile do you have to be to systematically remove all references of accomplishments, compassion and consideration to anyone who doesnt look like you? Whether they are another gender, race, sexual orientation, political ideology or whatever makes you feel insecure, you deserve for people to also say 'you know what, maybe i will come and fuck up your shit and see how you feel about it'.

Honestly it does feel like too many lines have and are being crossed that it will force this tit for tat retaliation, which will just escalate until things get dire. However in the end do you let them keep getting away with destroying societal norms and rules or does it come to full political & class war to stop them before they invade poland and france?

Either way there is a heartbreaking certainty for the future of america, a lot of suffering for people of all walks of life.

...except maybe the billionaires.

No, especially the billionaires!
