Why do conservatives hate America and everything it stands for? Why are they so racist?[/quote]

The only conspiracy is how this whole furor either advocating for/railing against this kind of stuff was concocted and used by elites to get the focus off of economic inequality, corporate greed, big finance, and the massive influence money has on politics.

Immediately after the Occupy Wallstreet movement which really got people talking and considering how everyone is being screwed by the über-wealthy, the media puts the focus on race/ethnicity/racism in order to keep us divided.

Yes, and people like OP are perpetuating this. DEI is essentially an anti-labor effort. Wealthy progessives and wealthy conservatives are all in favor of DEI because it takes the focus off of class-based unity. [/quote]

Not sure it’s part of a bigger plan for most of them

Might be more of a “luxury belief “ thing - an easy way to feel superior to the proles[/quote]

Perhaps but it does conveniently take any emphasis off unions, organizing, class-based oppression, etc. In the DEI hierarchies of oppression, working and middle class unity is never, ever part of the discussion. It lets wealthy liberals act they’re “doing something” (undefined and vague, of course) while simultaneously reaping the fruits of a class-based structure of wealth. It gives wealthy conservatives a convenient target. Both groups are essentially very happy with DEI because it fiercely defends existing wealth structures while allowing those groups to pretend to be advocates for change.

I’m quite sure OP is entirely uninterested in what labor-based DEI would actually look like. [/quote]
