I think this will be generally quick, but it illustrates exactly the point that I’ve made so many times before. There was a discussion, where someone wanted to know who has had direct, first-person experience with some of the far-left talking points in the real world. I figure the whole point was to show how it was all just hearsay and not experience, but it devolved very quickly, especially once I jumped in.

These people don’t know how to see what’s actually on the screen. They only see what they’ve been told is actually there!

So here’s what I said, because this becomes important in a second.

I still have to deal with that, although our HR training doesn’t touch on any DEI nonsense. The CEO of our company would never put up with it. He’s taken a couple of meetings with companies that want to come in and do the spiel and he just laughs at them. We already have a “diverse” corporate environment. We hire people who can do the job without any regard for their skin color, gender, sexual orientation or anything else. When you are entirely colorblind with your hiring practices, DEI stupidity goes straight out the window.

The diversity and inclusion idiots immediately started in on me. “Well how  do you know any of that?” Because I’m often in the room. I said so. I don’t have experience with direct DEI training sessions because it never gets that far, but I’ve certainly seen the presentations, given by these groups that want to get hired. It’s all bullshit.

Of course, they can’t handle that. Out come the questions about where I saw these things. Did I see them at another company? I have no idea where that came from because I already spelled it out in detail. I explained again. They couldn’t get it through their head. How could I see these things and not be entirely on board?

Because it’s stupid.

So one of them finally says “it’s confusing because you didn’t bring up any of this in the beginning!” Of course I did. It’s right there! Go and read what I wrote! He did and then deleted all of his comments, mostly, I figure, to hide his own embarrassment and then he gave my original comment some kind of half-assed award. Yet all of this could have been avoided if he’d just stopped to read and understand the clear and obvious English on the screen!

I think the reason that they can’t is because then, they’d have to admit that their positions aren’t as perfect and universally accepted as they’d like to believe that they are.  It’s the same reason the religious do it. Clearly, if we don’t come to the same conclusions that they do, we just don’t know enough, right?

No, usually we know more than they do. It’s why we reject it. We don’t go at it with the same emotional attachment that they do, thus we come to more rational conclusions and they can’t handle that. Therefore, we have to really mean something different than what we actually say. Good thing they’re there to tell us what we really intended, right?

It’s enough to make your eyes roll right out of  your head.
