Yeah I don’t know what your motivation is for your post, but it reads exactly like every sea lion I’ve seen on this platform.

The post I replied to specifically asked what someone had against those concepts, so I made my comment.
There’s this fervor going around that everyone against these policies is a Nazi, and that’s not the case.
What I got from reading those US military perspectives was that people need to be careful about trusting ideas that look one way on the surface, but have a different intent, so I shared that as a comment.

Fair enough, I’ll retract my snap judgement.
Witch hunts are definitely not the path we want to take, guys. Let people call each other out on their bullshit, but don’t dogpile on someone because you read the select keywords you’ve been trained to think against.

Thank you, I get that things are making people tense right now but there’s no need to lose hope. As mentioned, regardless of what someone may think of me based on their understanding of what I’ve posted (and let’s be honest, my posts are often lazily written and not explaining all the details bc they’re just casual), I know what side I would have fought on during WWII or during the U.S. civil war. Discussion is one thing, but when it’s do or die, it’s another.

Isn’t this you as well?
I don’t agree with CRT (that legal and social systems help white people only), or that DEI addresses the core issues with bad luck creating uneven conditions for individuals. The core issue is that people of all races and cultures experience bad luck
I’m just reporting what you write :) you should own up what you say. I’m simply giving other users a full picture
nifty@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Yes, and? What about that is bigoted?
Being against CRT doesn’t mean you’re against anti-discrimination, or giving people better outcomes. Being against DEI doesn’t mean you’re against diversity, equity or inclusion by themselves as concepts. The academics who framed CRT/DEI were some of the most anti-U.S. Marxists, and so I don’t trust their intentions.
Listen, I am not racist, homophobic or transphobic or anything which looks down on others. If the US ever came to a civil war, I know what side I am fighting on.

This was your comment, yes?
The whole DEI stuff seems a bit like a Trojan horse to sneak in Marxist propaganda. Forcing people to accept immigrants with different cultural pov in a democracy is dangerous because you can end up relinquishing your country to another country’s agenda
I think we can all see what side you’ll be fighting with
nifty@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Nothing I wrote is bigoted, it’s just questioning why people should accept some policies when there are people who literally perform ideological warfare against other countries.

CRT is the analysis of racism within systems of power. Being anti-discrimination and anti-crt are wholly contradictory, because racism is about power. It’s like being anti-cancer and anti-radiation therapy.
nifty@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I think the problem people have with CRT is framing it so only white people are favored by those systems. I don’t think the evidence supports that white people are favored by the system on average, it seems only rich people are favored by these systems on average.

Were you the guy running a bunch of coms on Lemmy.sdf.org and they were trying to get you an instance ban but the admins weren’t around?
If you just want an account where you shitpost memes, then why are you engaging with everyone in this thread justifying your unpopular political views? You will just get downvoted and most likely banned again. Which makes me think you don’t really want to just shitpost memes.

Not me.

We don’t like bigots and don’t want to laugh with them. Hiding your bigotry behind bad logic may fool others nearer to your IQ, but anyone with two brain cells to rub together can read between the lines.
nifty@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Explain how I am a bigot.
Orbituary@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
He just fucking did in this post. We can obviously see you’re also brain dead. GTFO.

The whole anti-CRT and anti-DEI thing has become my cross to bear, apparently. The fact is that these concepts are not being used by people with the best intentions for preserving democracies. If I am being downvoted for pointing out that there are literally anti-democratic people who want authoritarian regimes of one kind or another, then that’s a problem in how people think. It doesn’t make me a bigot.
