The Deception Of Today’s Push For Diversity<\/span><\/p>\n

“We must all be alike. Not everyone born free and equal<\/strong>, as the constitution says, but everyone made equal<\/strong>\u2026”<\/em><\/p>\n

Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451<\/em><\/p>\n

A recurring theme in movies, television, and literature, is the \u201cbig lie.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve always heard the adage, \u201cif you tell a lie big enough, and keep repeating it, more people will believe it.\u201d I think the original version of that quote is attributed to the Nazi propagandist\u00a0Joseph Goebbels<\/a>. Although like with most historical references, Goebbels may never have said this.<\/p>\n

Anyway, might as well say he did, eh? Easy enough.<\/p>\n

\u201cDiversity\u201d and the efforts toward achieving it, as described by the agenda, is a lie. A Big Lie. So is \u201cinclusion\u201d and \u201cequity\u201d\u2014nice ideas, and in a sane world, nice ideals to work toward. But in our current \u201cBizarro World,\u201d all lies. In fact, as you well know, most of everything out there instigated and implemented by the \u201cgovernment\u201d are lies. Big ones.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Sad but true.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why are these things labelled \u201cBig Lies\u201d and not just plain \u2018ol little lies?<\/p>\n

The \u201cwoke culture\u201d calls anyone who points out diversity as a bigot or racist. <\/strong>For example, if a person comments on the unique apparel of an ethnic group he runs the risk of being called a racist. A person who comments on an attribute of a particular race (good or bad), he is called a profiling bigot. If someone recognizes diversity and points it out, he is a racist. You don\u2019t honour diversity by cancelling anything that is culturally diverse. That doesn\u2019t make sense. Since these things have worked their way into the culture so deeply, identifying them and labelling them the way the culture does, qualifies as a big lie.<\/p>\n

I wrote a previous article about this titled:\u00a0\u201cPseudo-diversity\u201d<\/a>. The points I made then are slightly different than the points I am making now, but all similar. Here is a quote from that article that falls more in alignment with today\u2019s thoughts:<\/p>\n

It seems I am stumbling with the term \u201cdiversity.\u201d Isn\u2019t that what all the fuss is about these days? Everyone seems to want to be identified and seen as unique, but at the same time they wish to have no uniqueness at all. The culture seems to be wanting to cancel out any thought, thing, idea, concept, skill, culture, biology, gender\/sex, that claims uniqueness, a strength or weakness, a difference good or bad, but at the same time wants a unique title for all this as well as a recognized exclusivity. Inclusivity and exclusivity: there seems to be no tolerance for sameness, but also no tolerance for difference. Now THAT\u2019S the formula for a mess.<\/em><\/p>\n

At the time that I wrote this, I was a bit perplexed as to why such a thing was happening. As with most stuff happening these days, it just didn\u2019t make sense. Why would they say one thing and then do another?<\/p>\n

Why would the \u201cwoke culture\u201d be so ready to decimate someone for a \u201cnon-inclusionary\u201d remark, yet at the same time advocate the blind acceptance of such unique and eclectic views, not understanding that such unique and eclectic people are by their very nature are \u201cnot included.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Am I the only one who sees this paradox?<\/p>\n

For a culture to truly be accepting of diversity, that culture must first allow diversity and not be so focused on making everyone the same\u2014and thus unnoticeable. There is a fine line between bigoted prejudice and tolerance.<\/p>\n

Tolerance is the operative word in a stabilized society.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tolerance, flexibility, and resilience are on the side of the \u201cunique, diverse, individual or group.\u201d As well as with the \u201cmajority\u201d group which may be accused of cultural bigotry.<\/p>\n

Yes, hateful prejudice is a trait to attempt to eliminate, but not a realization that people are different.<\/strong> We must encourage an awareness of differences, and along with awareness of differences, people should be allowed, within reason, to express their awareness of those differences.\u00a0\u201cOh look, that man is black, that person has a penis but is dressed like a woman, these people are different than I am, I notice that, and I accept it, but some of it may make me uncomfortable.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Maybe some of it I don\u2019t like, and if I feel it encroaches on my own quality of life, I may express that fact without violence or hate.<\/p>\n

(A clear example of this is the plethora of trans \u201cstorytelling\u201d events in elementary schools. Cannot we reject such activities without being labelled hateful toward trans persons?)<\/em><\/p>\n

To force people (through shaming) to love every lifestyle choice people make, and if they don\u2019t, to then be accused of being bigots, or worse, are arrested for a human rights violation, is not a good thing. <\/strong>People should be allowed to be different. This axiom does not only apply to people who are attempting to be contrary to the \u201cmiddle of the bell curve majority,\u201d but also to people who are in the \u201cmiddle of the bell curve majority.\u201d They have just as much right to be accepted for who they are, including their own beliefs about self and worldview, and not be bullied or legally threatened into agreeing with choices they simply do not agree with (such as a requirement to address people by their chosen pronoun.)<\/p>\n

Yes, there is a grey area with all of this, and I do not mean to be bulldozing through this grey area with my sweeping comments. Although in my own personal worldview, I believe people even have the right to be racist, as long as they do not hurt anyone through their bigotry. I also believe a \u201cbetter society\u201d is created if these bigotries are eliminated. I believe the core of bigotry is a natural suspicion of differences. More integrated humans are less threatened by other people\u2019s differences. Although we may have a \u201cright\u201d to be threatened, it generally makes for a better society if we are not.<\/p>\n

\u201cLive and let live\u201d is the fundamental model for peaceful co-existence here.<\/strong> And we have, throughout our human history, tried to make a go of it. It is only recently that we seem to be making some serious inroads in this regard\u2014until the agenda came along and mucked it all up. In other words, I do not believe that what we are experiencing regarding this insane \u201cwoke\u201d crap is a natural organic phenomenon. The devil is making us do it, maybe quite literally.<\/p>\n

Once again, the carrot-to-stick tactic is being used. <\/strong>The carrot is the noble ideal of diversity, equity, and inclusion to all people of all cultures and ethnicities. Yeah, that\u2019s nice, we can go along with that! But then tell us all that we are despicable human beings for thinking men with penises and testicles should not be competing in women\u2019s sports, or that a person of colour should not get the top brain surgeon position when they are not the most competent.<\/p>\n

Tell us we are bigots and transphobic if we don\u2019t believe we should be required to guess someone\u2019s fantasy pronouns and wind up in jail or with a hefty fine if we fail. <\/strong>Tell us we are wrong to think of certain cultures as having certain identifiable traits, particularly from different periods in history (such as a person born and raised in the Chinese tradition having particular dress attributes) without being accused of extreme insensitivity and a disgusting violator of diversity, equity, and inclusion.<\/p>\n

Then we are punished for actually recognizing that people are different.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And we are being punished for believing that not everyone is entitled to every prize out there, but indeed some people who have worked hard, or shown a particular skill are \u201cincluded\u201d in a special group exploiting those gifts, and others are indeed excluded.<\/p>\n

That is equity. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Where is the equity in making everyone the same, everyone, regardless of their specialness or uniqueness or skill or talent or hard work, being herded into a singular \u201csameness\u201d with everyone else?<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t fall for this DEI carrot. It is a big lie and a nasty one at that. It creates resentment, anger, frustration, confusion, and sadness. And above all, it creates the opposite of what it claims to create.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just what the doctor ordered, and we all know where orders from the doctor lead us.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
