The insane Social Justice Thread III

[BugI02]

I’ve wondered that too. The only thing that makes business sense to me is similar to the notion of being on the right side of history. They may think the future is headed woke so they need to get on board the woke train so they’re not left behind. But also I can’t dismiss the possibility that the reason doesn’t have to make sense. This IS indoctrination. Corporate boards and executives could just be playing the game to stay in the game, or maybe they actually believe this nonsense.

I’d really like to know though. If they’re merely just playing the game to stay in the game, they can be convinced the game is a farce. If they’re playing because they really believe it, we’re ****ed.

I suspect the cost of placating the young and stupid is minimal. Sure, I can never buy Nikes again (and won't) but I hadn't bought that many pairs in the last 10 years anyway. I prefer Brooks and NB now. But how many pairs do the little hipsters buy? [Edit: when they aren't just stealing them]

It wouldn't surprise me if it is the result of a cynical cost/benefit analysis. I would expect a company like Patagonia to still have a conscience but not Phil Knight's cash machine

I would imagine very little. With the amount of them that are still living in mommy and daddy's basement, I think what discretionary spending money they have available is being saved up for the next greatest version of the I-Phone. That is after spending 6 hours in line waiting for it because they have no job to worry about showing up to.

Oh wait a sec, Apple is closing stores again because of COVID panic, OH THE HORROR!!

Joe Rogan does a very good interview of James Lindsay. James explains critical theory and the current progressive/marxist protests, language and takeover of institutions. It is long at 3 hours, but very enlightening.

Some of you may have heard about the book White Fragility, by a woman named Robin Diangelo. It's actually referenced in the Joe Rogan episode Phase2 posted above.

A lot of corporations are bringing this kook into speak and run diversity training workshops. She's getting lots of run on MSM news outlets too.

Ben Shapiro breaks down why the book is complete, unadulterated nonsense. Some of the excerpts are mind-numbingly crazy, contradictory and chock full of actual racism (from the author of course).

Woke Leftist CRIES after she's fired from "dream job".

I agree with Tim. She didn't say she'd stab someone for real. She was making an analogy.
And I agree. She should be able to say it BUT..
Since she calls for this herself, she should reap what she sews.

Twitter jumping on the "change the language" bandwagon

Step back and look at how many wins the SJW-types are raking in right now. A man died to police. Now we have entire companies taking advantage of this to erase history, change language, behavior... ****'s getting out of control.

Inclusive language plays a critical role in fostering an environment where everyone belongs. At Twitter, the language we have been using in our code does not reflect our values as a company or represent the people we serve. We want to change that. #WordsMatterWe’re starting with a set of words we want to move away from using in favor of more inclusive language, such as:

From the company who's name literally means " to talk lightly about trivial matters. To giggle"

Fitting.

Wow. This was an excellent interview. Lindsay gets into some things that are even crazier than I could have ever imagined. This needs to be shared far and wide if we are to get people to see just how pervasive this insanity has become.
