Just so you know, no progressive likes these evil companies or considers them or their CEOs allies. Their DEI initiatives are as fake as their environmental ones, it’s just virtue signaling. They don’t actually do anything for LGBT people — or any people for that matter, because believe it or not, real DEI includes straight white guys too! — they just adapt their marketing and product offerings to growing progressive sentiment. But the second the culture shifts, so does their “very serious commitment” to ESG/DEI/whatever.
And don’t get me started how the rainbow marketing is non-existant in countries without widespread acceptance of LGBT people, which you’d think would be a crucial piece of their activity if their goal was actually to spread an ideology, right? (By contrast, think how MAGA-like movements exist in even the most progressive countries, and they push on regardless.) But this supposed “LGBT mafia” doesn’t push at all, they’re reactive to the environment and they shift gears the second it becomes a perceived liability: Musk, Zuckerberg, all of Big Tech and other supposed global wokeness spreaders, they all pivoted away from performative progressivism the second they realized it wouldn’t harm their profits.
You just proved my point, all these people in the west are “supporting the LGBT movement” because it’s trendy. No one cares about these minorities in the middle east, where being gay is punished by death.
Blackrock is pushing DEI because it’s the new popular thing. I never said that Fink believes in it, but still he’s the one “forcing behaviors”.
I didn’t prove your point, you’re just being inconsistent: you started by saying this “mafia” of yours is supposedly imposing a trend, but now they’re just following the trend — they can’t do both. If they’re just mimicking support, then they’re just following… so who’s leading? Who’s the boss of the “LGBT mafia”? That was my original question: who’s incentivizing all the wokeness?
As for “forcing behaviors”, they’re not forcing anything more than some KPIs that can be skirted by hiring a consultant to do some bullshit sensitivity training. Just take a look at how shallow the environment pledges have been: all that posturing and nobody’s actually hitting their targets, not companies and not even countries (because it’s a neoliberalism problem). They talk a big game then bury the lede when it’s time to show results. They do the same crap with all progressive issues, and their hypocrisy is delegitimizing the actual movements, because people associate the real issues with this shallow pretend support, and come to believe it’s all fake. We’re so cooked, man.
The white people are being punished by having equality? I guess yes, in your world viee you are being punished if you are all white people.
They got rejected because the white people slots at college was full of better applicants. Remember, the lgbt and people of color took nothing from you.
You’re just mad you now have to excel at being a human and you lacked the foundation to do so. Why? Everything about you has been held up by others, and you cannot quantify yourself by any self assertion.
Even when the greatest empire of a white man arose, in their remains they only found the scripture of one who wasn’t. And now they use his rhetoric to justify themselves - without understanding.
Im proud of you, for someone so shallow you can see beyond borders. Just a shame you decided to end your journey here - sour and tarnish, your heart will decay from within. When you cannot see reason or true unbridled joy, you will become confused, afraid, and in that truly hateful. With not a single merit of creation, just destruction.
I’m talking about present day, not about someone’s forefathers. Today people are separated and judged based on their skin color and their preferred sexual partners. If it wasn’t right 100 years ago, I don’t see how it is OK now.
They are being separated by beinng accepted into the same school? Where they all earned their spot. They are judged on their merits, not their color. They are categorized in the sheet by their skin in order to circumvent bias, by reserving slots for all races. Why is it wrong that white people get a dedicated slot in a college as well as people of color?
It isnt, you’re just mad that most college applicants are white and have the highest enrollment rate. So competition is actually competitive, rather than just being accepted over the black ones.
Why must there be special places, devided by sexual orientation and skin color? Are non-white/non straight people less smart so they need special slots? How is that “equality”?
Also I’m sorry, but as a non native English speaker I fail to understand what you meant by the last paragraphs. Also, I don’t know your name and I’m not sure I care.
It guarantees a slot regardless of prejudice since you cannot check bias at the selection level. Instead you create a reserve to guarantee certain people who have a harder time reaching this goal - genuinely get considered.
They would be marginalized and overlooked purely through selection bias along with odds. Most colored folks have harder odds of ever even making it to college. Money, support structures, and other variables are hugely different. The same game, different difficulties.
That’s why collegiate schools work as an interview most times - it is to understand your struggle. It is the time to tell your tale, sell yourself, elaborate and intrigue. That’s why your friend failed.
You’re just making an excuse for him. He is not the cream of the crop, and you made it about race. So i guess you’re upset he’s not the brightest of the whites? And it’d be rude to make him actually take any accountability for his failure.

So punished and oppressed.
Are the LGBT mafia in the room with us right now? Who is their leader?
Larry Fink would be one of them.
Ah yes, the CEO of Blackrock is definitely an ally to LGBT people (head of their “mafia” even, according to you) and not just cynically pandering to whichever way the wind is blowing for exactly the amount of time it’s beneficial to him and not a second more.

So there’s your LGBT mafia chief. Got any more?

You know my name.

Make your own history though.

Haha, which rule exactly did my comment break, mister Moderator?
