Over the last week, the guide has surged to become the 5th-most-accessed book on Project Gutenberg, an open source repository of free and public domain ebooks. It is also the fifth most popular ebook on the site over the last 30 days, having been accessed nearly 60,000 times over the last month (just behind Romeo and Juliet).
Direct link to the book (without the backref):
I was expecting something subtle, some sort of resistance from within type stuff.
Warehouses, barracks, offices, hotels, and factory buildings are outstanding targets for simple sabotage. They are extremely susceptible to damage, especially by fire.
Not so much.
I don’t spot the difference between this and how most modern day corporations are operated:
- “To lower morale and with it, production, be pleasant to inefficient workers; give them undeserved promotions. Discriminate against efficient workers; complain unjustly about their work.”
- “Hold conferences when there is more critical work to be done.”
“To lower morale and with it, production, be pleasant to inefficient workers; give them undeserved promotions. Discriminate against efficient workers; complain unjustly about their work.”
So is this why DEI exists?
DEI exists because racists often have hiring power. It doesn’t force the hiring of the unqualified, it supports the qualified from not being discriminated against.
Nice “centrism” btw.
So riddle me this, why is it hard to believe that DEI type policies could be plot by some organization or country against the U.S. when there’s literally a field manual which says that such policies should be used against “fascists”. People on Lemmy call the U.S. imperialist all the time.
The flaw in your argument is the false equivalency between minorities (people the DEI programs are there to support) and “inefficient workers”.
Are straight white dudes exempt from ever being considered inefficient? That’s silly.
DEI goes beyond hiring. If you have a sizeable office but no comfortable and private area for new mothers to pump breast milk that’s being inequitable to them. Same for maternity and paternity leave policies. These are not about giving advantage to minorities.
There is more merit to people in a meritocracy than grades alone.
Do you not believe in getting opportunity? Can you recall a few times people took a chance on you? What if nobody ever did?
Please stop. I literally made this thread a while back

I believe in people getting opportunities. What I don’t like are thought police, or thought correction officers.
Left authoritarianism is still authoritarianism.
I also don’t take it for granted that someone talking about “empathy” or “compassion” necessarily doesn’t have ulterior motives.
DEI only irks people who are racists. For everyone else, it’s just a hiring process.
DEI is for all identities, not just POC. Creating more process is part of the the CIA field manual for fighting fascists, hence the question, are more bureaucratic jobs being created in some misguided attempt to “fight US imperialism”?
No, I won’t. Considering what you wrote in your linked post, why are you asking such strange questions?
Thought police? Yet you’re ok with being told not to touch/compliment women’s butts at work??
I won’t stop because you’re hilariously inept 🤣
I am asking these questions because we already have EO laws and ADA policies. We also have anti-harassment policies. What does DEI add that’s new other than create more bureaucratic jobs?
From my perspective, DEI just creates divisions between groups by splitting people into distinct identities.
Hell yeah! This is great! I’m glad I’m not the only one sharing it around to friends and neighbors. True resistance is not the flashy stuff; it’s a whole of society approach to stop fascists in their tracks. True resistance is the sum total of small acts to inconvenience and impede a fascist.
The thing is that these techniques were intended to be used in hostile opponent countries, not your own.
“Shut down America” isn’t a goal any American should have - instead, work to make a positive difference.
