It is great to have seen so many classically liberal groups fighting back against DEI. I support many of them. There is also the Critical Therapy Antidote Group, a group for psychotherapists who are resisting the critical theory intrusion into psychotherapy. We are having good success. But... as this is a full-frontal assault on white people and western civilization, and the aggressors are not quiet about their goals, wouldn't the people being assaulted organize and resist as members of the group being colonized? Historically speaking, people fight for their people, not for a series of abstract ideals. This is a schoolyard fight and only one person, the bully, is fighting. The other person is defending himself with appeals to rationality as he gets repeatedly pummeled. The bully does not give a damn about reason or fair fighting. He sees someone else that has stuff, money, and power he wants. He blames the combatant for all of his own failings. He is delusional. He exploits the power from long-standing psychological warfare by powerful intellectuals and security systems that want him to succeed to destroy white civilization until a completely new system he manages is in place. That system will be hell because this bully does not know how to manage anything. He is a parasite. Collective action will mean classic liberals must acknowledge they have the same goals as people they have marginalized in the past in order to appear virtuous and because these other combatants are not the proper type. They will need to put their egos aside and acknowledge that others have been right about the nature of this fight. I went through that process several years ago on the road from Liberal to Libertarian, to Paleoconservative to Common Sense Nationalist. Give it a try.

I suppose it's good to quantify it, but we all knew already that it is an overwhelming trend. I'd like to see some sort of quantification of its effects. What's DEI's goal? Is the goal measurable? Is DEI achieving the goal? If so/not, what is it achieving? What is it destroying? What would complete success for DEI look like? How would we know when we arrive?

Business Schools are starting to fold, but they're still holding out, somewhat. Some of the teachers in the Business School, I've noticed, have left out 'gender' in their syllabus, and only state 'sex' under the Title IX section. Which is curious, but other teachers explicitly stated "gender-identity" in theirs. A business law teacher last semester appeared to flirt with some "TERF-Y" rhetoric -- she made a comment along the lines of "gender-identity" being added to Title IX as questionable. The main thing to worry about with being a business student, is the companies that'll be hiring us after graduation. STEM, though, is deeply concerning. I'd rather Business Schools be captured than STEM subjects. Medical students pledging to fight against the "gender binary" is terrifying. So, this medical experiment with our neurodivergent population doesn't appear to be slowing down, huh? Gender ideology--as a malignant tumor--really ought to be amputated out of the medical field, sooner rather than later, too. Pseudoscience is spreading and emergency surgery is required. Needs to stay the hell away from all STEM subjects. But it's not... yeah, idk. Reality's Last Stand -- an exceptional publication with an extremely apt name.

Institutional capture is everywhere, but I've heard of individual instances of revolt. Sometimes this doesn't benefit the community served, but the professional is protected from threat of cancellation. For example, a very good, warm, practical therapist I know stopped seeing teens and adolescents. She restricted her practice to adults. This is because the teens are often coming in with some version of "gender dysphoria," which in my un-captured, more accurate language is cross-sex ideation. She still has the same number of patients on her roster; they just aren't teens in a social contagion. For analysis of the capture in psychiatry/psychology you can visit a new channel called "the radical center." For the Stephen B. Levine description of WPATH as a non-professional "professional group" go to this link:

DEI = woke blasphemy police

I prefer to think of it as DIE - Division, Indoctrination & Enforcement.

A very interesting, and deeply worrying, analysis.

I thought it was DIE? 😂

It's like DEI is creating a Christian rock version of STEM

Really stunned to see anyone asking what DEI's goals are. There are two goals and they were blazingly apparent from day one.

First goal is largely the task of the DEI true believer. They must amass power in politics and academia, because those arenas are where the true believer has the greatest number of opportunities to tell others how to live.

The second goal is handled by the DEI hustlers. Their goal is, bluntly put, cash. A cursory glance at DEI staff salaries, university research grant dollars, or DEI independent contractor speaking fees and book sales provides a full understanding of the scale of this effort.
