Banning Happy Words Like DEI

WORDS MEAN THINGS, the late great radio talker Rush Limbaugh said, not wrongly. Some words have positive, pleasant meanings and overtones, some do not. In his great science fiction novel "Contact", by Carl Sagan, a super advanced alien being tells the central human character that he has a special fondness for the human word "lovingkindness". Assuming that it really is a word, one can hardly disagree. Three very pleasant, positive words to me are: "Diversity, Equality, Inclusion". I prefer the word "equality" to "equity", which is the one actually used. Either one is fine, they both mean the same thing, but for me the word "equity" conjures thoughts of a home mortgage, more than people being equal. And, as far as I know, as far as I can tell, those three words wre nothing other than words used by government to describe the kind of attitude towards people government embraces, advocates, encourages. Its not a specific hard law set in stone to limit or control anyody, It is a three words expression, a phrase, used in official government entities to dfeind the official government attitude about hiring and treatment of people. The United States has always been a bascally white anglo-saxon protestant patriarchal country, with muchcultural uniformity, which also has a great deal of cultural diversity, ethnically, racially, and so forth. Both the concept of cultural uniformity and cultural diversity have strong support in the U.S. A preference for cultural uniformity is a conservative, traditional mindset, while a preference for cutural diversity, including sexual and gender orientation, is associated with progressivism. In America's traditional white Christian patriarchal culture, equality was not a highly valued ideal; society was a hierarchy at the top of which sat, or rather stood, white Christian men. Socially mandated inequalty prevailed. Traditional American culture is as much characterized by exclusion as inclusion, based on the WASP paradigm. Thus, the in(famous) DEI concept is, at its core, a progressive, or liberal, set of values, and not a conservative one. This is born out by the palpable, powerful hatred and loathing of DEI by conservative America. Trump and the Republicans engaged on a holy crusade to strike the infamous thing (DEI) from the country, as if DEI were some sort of catastrophic illness or disease, a threat to not only American national security, but to the very existencsof the country. And that is precisly what seems so striking, and strange to me. The fervor with which they oppose and have noe destroyed diversity,equality, and inclusion as foundational principles of government. The white Christian patriarchial society is losing its majority status in America, and we see the backlash. The seemingly overly zealous eagerness with which conservative America despises and fights the concept of "woke", similarly implies that traditional conservative values prefer a cultural in which racism not discussed, whether or not it still exists. I hope that the United States trends in the future towards diversity eauality, and incllusion, despite conservative opposition to it, and the successful Republican scrubbing of it from the government. They have also eliminated allmention of climate change from government websites and documents, as well as any mention of gay or transgender people. That's what fascists do, they wewrite history to suit their own purposes.
