The result of all of this is that some people end up doubting the qualifications and merit of minorities that are in high-status positions (as Clarence Thomas argues) and attributing white male failure to snag a high-status position to unfair discrimination, which can then also spill over into political beliefs and behavior. But this is not because the absolute number of people actually affected by any of this is all that large. If this analysis is correct, then the situation is actually much more bleak than Savage’s argument would suggest. If diversification efforts generated a huge change, then the backlash to it might be acceptable, something worth risking and weathering if it comes. Instead, what appears to have happened is a lot of empty talk, no real significant change, and backlash that is causing real harm. This is the worst of all possible worlds.

loyalty checks for the security services just dropped
Trump supporters would almost certainly celebrate the bonuses as yet another sign of a commander in chief who appreciates the men and women of the military. But a more cynical interpretation is that the money, although welcome, would represent an attempt by Trump to buy loyalty. The bonuses could cost as much as $2 billion, one administration official told us. The money would have to come out of the defense budget, but officials have not said what they would cut in order to pay for the checks.

It is certainly a nice gesture of the Dells, but there will be no poverty in the future and so no need to save money. There will be universal high income.

For those people that think I am close with the new owners of CBS, please understand that 60 Minutes has treated me far worse since the so-called “takeover,” than they have ever treated me before. If they are friends, I’d hate to see my enemies!

NCLB was good????
Honestly, Dems have done TERRIBLY on education, and they deserve to be doing worse here. The progressive approach on education is just "dumb it down" at every level, in every situation. Whereas George W. Bush's education policy was actually good.

mr president please stop trying to weaponize the government after the most likely blue state candidates
Raphael Warnock was on Meet the Fake Press with a one sided and very biased Kristen Welker as the Host(ess!). Warnock spent the entire show using Religion to try and divide the Country! If a Republican, in particular ME, made those statements, it would be FRONT PAGE NEWS. He ended by saying that he was going to his Church to preach now, and while I think that’s fine, I do say, “What ever happened to separation of Church and State?” That would be the first thing they would use against us but, actually, it’s something that never much bothered me. Anyway, Warnock is a LIGHTWEIGHT whose wife correctly states that he tried to run her over with a car. Fortunately, she was able to get out of the way, and only almost lost her foot. Warnock is a bad guy, and NBC News, which is second only to ABC Fake News for being the worst, should be ashamed of themselves in allowing garbage “interviews” with untalented and uncaring people to take place. The Public airwaves, which these Networks are using at no charge, should not be allowed to get away with this any longer! They should be properly licensed, and pay significant amounts of money for using this very valuable Public space. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAGA!

I really thought I’d get actual pushback — someone, somewhere, articulating a theory of what I got wrong, why DEI was good or necessary. But this is pure ad hominem / total epistemic closure. There’s nothing under the hood. Completely incurious about the world they actually live in.

what exactly does Dort think DEI is, exactly
This is one of the most disturbing oceans of text I’ve ever read. My only addition to it is that DEI wasn’t the problem in and of itself. A lack of civilizational expansion was. Hence the low birth rates since the 1970s. DEI was just the attempted “nail in the coffin”. An enemy striking at what they thought was a weakened opponent. In the historical context, DEI was a brilliant weapon. A good adversary knows how to change techniques. Like Islam expanding through exploiting western kindness instead of the sword. Or China expanding through international loopholes instead of kinetically. Nobody wants to go kinetic with the west. History shows how powerful we are. Or were. As such, everyone knows that legacy genocide is too messy. DEI framed in the context below, shows a different technique. Genocide through making you so disenfranchised you kill yourself. And if you won’t do that, your bloodline will be erased anyway due to lack of societal resources to reproduce. And the entire time, the apparatus is designed to make you think it’s your own fault. No one is the wiser. It’s brilliant, cunning, genius. No mass graves or gas chambers. Just you. The problem for the advocates of DEI though, is that it didn’t work. Because nothing truly evil ever does. Not over the long haul anyway. The damage was severe from this. History will remember that. But it will remember the correction even more. Perhaps the correction can be similar to the offense; “nonviolent”. We shall see.
