Summary

The Pentagon has removed web pages about Holocaust remembrance and other historical topics to comply with Trump’s order to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) content from federal government sites.

Taken-down pages include stories of Holocaust survivors and religious tolerance, as well as content about 9/11 and veterans' issues.

The Defense Department used automated tools to identify and delete up to 24,000 pages.

Critics argue this erases significant historical narratives, while the Pentagon defends the move as necessary to end "Woke cultural Marxism."

They have re-branded DEI to mean Divisive Equity Ideology. They had to have an answer for when someone asked why they were against DEI (Diversity Equity and Inclusion).

Last time I checked, Auschwitz was the complete opposite of diverse, equitable and inclusive.

I didn’t know the Holocaust was diverse, equitable and inclusive! Quite the opposite actually…

Hey everyone, just a friendly reminder that self propelled compost sludge, Pete Hagseth, who was approved by the Republican Congress to serve as head of the DOJ, has multiple white Supremacists tattoos.

Turns out the War on Terror was DEI all along. George Bush is going to be really upset

Apparently, history is too woke. Just assume white guys did everything going back to Moses (if you believe in that).

Some examples of white men throughout history:

  • Gengis Khan
  • Jesus (but not Confucius or Buddha—they are some woke shit)
  • Cleopatra - little known fact: she was actually three white man in a trenchcoat
  • Shaka Zulu - famous for conquering South Africa for white people who ruled benevolently until Nelson Mandela fucked up a good thing
  • Mahatma Gandhi - famous for inventing Trump-style diplomacy in the original Civilization video game. Probably not an actual historical figure.

At this point the declaration of Independence is going to be removed from government websites for the woke phase "all men are created equal".
