Right after the door came off that plane Fox News got some guy to come on and talk about what happened. He was very clear in that he felt Boeing had to get rid of their DEI policy. He was suggesting that Boeing’s DEI policy was somehow responsible for the door flying off the plane. I kind knew what DEI meant but looked it up to be sure. Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion.
Then I read that Mark Wahlberg moved his family from them from the “WOKE LA culture” to Vegas so they could have a better life. In Vegas? Really?
Next that came across my radar was an announcement from some school district that they appointed someone by the name of Chaya Rakhik of “Libs of TikTok” to some Library Media Advisory Committee. With the comment by some guy that her “powerful voice” to protect the vhildten in Oklahoma from books on porn and WOKE Indoctrination.
Then Charlie Kirk opened his big mouth claiming “: “I’m sorry. If I see a Black pilot, I’m going to be like, ‘Boy, I hope he’s qualified.’”
I saved the best for last. Jordan Peterson is a psychologist from Canada, I watched this real where he was saying he was told that Tom Cruise was one of the last actors whose name will sell movies. Meaning I guess people will watch Tom Cruise movies for the simple reason Cruise is in it. But here is where it got weird. He then goes on and says. TC’s belief in Scientology has saved him from the WOKE nonsense. That you are crazier if you are WOKE then if you are a Scientologist.
I thought who is this guy and asked Google. What came what was a Theory of Order and Chaos. This theory has different names. But it involves order and chaos. Attached to this guy is the belief that order is masculine and chaos is feminine. It seems women create chaos and it’s up to males to create order. Or some such nonsense. One could believe that based on his thoughts about being WOKE.
Who are these people?
Why can’t we just accept people for who they are, meaning their sex, the color of their skin, and sexual orientation. And judge then by their words and actions?

Honestly they are people who want to roll back the clock to a time when only white men had access and power, and everyone should just call them out on that directly.

I generally ignore your posts because they always seem a little over the top, but what’s wrong with living in Las Vegas? It’s a big city, and the Strip (aka the tourist area) is only one small part of it. The rest of it is very different. I grew up there, and the only time we ever went to The Strip was when we had visitors who wanted to see it. |

I guess it’s kind of like people who don’t like San Francisco or Los Angeles or other cities. And since I was born in Reno I get for the residents gambling plays a small part in their lives. |

Lot of SoCal people moved to Vegas because it was affordable. They could buy a house fairly easily there. I have quite a few relatives from Hawaii who moved there. But I heard stories of living next to drug dealers because the houses were inexpensive. Vegas also has a transient population. Lot of people coming and going. And it is a Purple area now, so not as Blue as SoCal. We thought of retiring there, but the weather is too harsh for my liking. |

I love visiting Las Vegas. However I'm pretty sure Mark Wahlberg lives in the Summerlin area which is outside of Vegas and more suburban/rural. Out by Red Rock Canyon. So he's not living in the city/near the strip AT ALL. And it's pretty upscale I think.
That said, while I love visiting I wouldn't want to live near the strip or outside of Vegas in the desert. Doesn't appeal to me at all as a place to live.

Because these chucklefucks see that women, POC, LGBTQ are asserting their agency as human beings. They’re terrified of not being in control and of being treated just as they’ve treated others while they’ve been in control. In a nutshell. |

I think the only qualification that mattered was that they were white and hopefully a male.
Ron Filipkowski….

Are the people that Trump has hired & appointed an example of hiring only the most qualified, excellent people strictly on merit?
Can we start the discussion with Jared Kushner & then move to his lawyers?”

So “Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion” is responsible for the deaths of those 3 soldiers? ”Maria Bartriomo blames DEI for three soldiers being killed in Jordan” x.com/atrupar/status/1752344725678375044?s=61&t=j45uMgNk1i8O0YllKF58nwSome responses…. ”They don't even hide their racism anymore. DEI is now their code word for minorities.” “DEI scares them because they feel left out. For years, they left out minorities and now suddenly they don't like how it feels. Now they know how it felt for minorities.” |

See also:Wendy Rogers. Dimwit believe her superpowers got her to her pilot status but other women shouldn’t be pilots because idk they didn’t earn it like she did? She missed the part about the women before who who broke through barriers and the legislation that propped her up to provide that opportunity for her.
Typical GOP hypocrisy.

linkI was curious about this Wendy Rodgers so I asked Google. Sorry I looked. But since she is a woman how do we know she is the qualified pilot she thinks she is? Stupid bitch. From MTN ” GOP State Senator Wendy Rogers Affirmed Candace Owens' Fear of Women Pilots, Swears off Air Travel”
From the article…. ”Rogers, one of the first 100 woman USAF pilots, pledged to fly herself instead due to diversity, equity, and inclusion” “Arizona GOP State Senator Wendy Rogers, one of the first 100 women pilots in the United States Air Force, affirmed Candace Owens' comment that she is "terrified" of flying with a woman pilot, believing that diversity, equity, and inclusion hiring practices designed to expand the hiring pool lead to unqualified women being hired to become pilots.” Replying to a post tagging Rogers and showing the GOP state senator in her USAF uniform along with a comment stating that Rogers would be in a position to call out Candace Owens' sexist comment, Rogers wrote: In 1981 I was awarded Air Force pilot wings due to my hard-earned skill and because I never gave up. There were no quotas when I became a USAF jet pilot, because I was one of the first women pilots. Many of these civilian airline pilots are hired because of quotas and diversity hiring due to DEI. Just look at the Boeing 737 Max. Where are the male engineers? I wouldn't want to get on that aircraft. It'll take longer, but I'lI fly myself to where I need to go, thank you very much.“

What does woke mean to you? What does woke mean to anyone here? Being woke means that someone is alert to, educated on, and conscious of social injustice and inequality. It was first used by the Black community in the early 1900's but has now been co-opted by the right to be a negative thing. What is your definition? |

It was first used by the Black community in the early 1900's but has now been co-opted by the right to be a negative thing. What is your definition? I think it started out as good ideas, but the reason people, and not just the Right, people on the Left also, see it as negative, is the way it's being used now. It aggressively demonizes anyone that disagrees or even questions something that doesn't make sense. When it becomes obvious that it doesn’t make sense, definitions get changed. Goal posts get moved. By employing cancel culture to defend only one allowed standard opinion/narrative and demonizing anyone with questions or anyone with facts that don't support that opinion/narrative, it prevents the free flow of speech and open debate. That's why a lot of people (again not just people on the right) see it as negative. Check out some of the things Bill Maher has to say and no one would ever accuse him of being on the Right. He isn’t the only one either. |

It is seen similar to being "politically correct" or when used in political terms like DEI policies or what they call "woke agenda" it most certainly is disagreeing with the idea of being aware of and sensitive to social injustice. Calling someone woke or dismissing something as being woke does what you say--prevent the flow of speech and open debate. Are you saying that cancel culture is only done by the left, or "Woke"? Because it isn't. |

AFTER experiencing or witnessing the woke person's hostile, aggressive response to disagreement and even questioning. No, it's disagreeing with not being allowed to disagree. In general the dismissal of wokeness has come AFTER seeing the response when an idea is disagreed with or even questioned. In response to disagreement or questioning something woke? Yes, it is. JUST one of so many examples: We worked hard as a country and succeeded greatly to become people who judge a person by the content of their character, not the color of their skin. Colorblind was the term applied to that definition. Now that's considered racist. You have to apply race to everyone. Goal posts moved. And not for the better of society. Don't agree and want to judge someone by their words and deeds? "Well, that means you're a biggot/racist." Effectively shutting down any disagreement. Not with reasoned, logical debate, but with wokeness as a weapon. Just slap a derogatory label on someone and you "win"! Yay you. Suck it society. Another: "I don't agree with Kamala." "Well, that can ONLY be because you're a racist." Effectively shutting down any disagreement. Not with reasoned, logical debate, but with wokeness as a weapon. THAT'S why in general people see wokeness as a negative. Including many on the Left. |

And that is typically not what I see the right responding to. They use that term in regards to any topic that they disagree with and can't have a logical, reasonable debate on. Take a look at any comments section on news articles and you will see it. Or look at the "anti-woke" legislation that they have proposed or enacted. It isn't meant to only address the extreme instances of what they consider to be woke (like your example). It is meant to squash any type of teaching about social inequality. Just like the right has changed the definition of CRT to fit your agenda, the definition of woke has also been changed. |

But I also don't like things like schools teaching about sexuality to 3rd graders down to KINDERGARTENERS. Or as I've said before, I don't like teaching about racism by teaching children, or even adults for that matter, that the color of your skin determines you to be currently an oppressor or currently a victim. I don't like teaching by guilting. Especially over things you have no guilt in. |
