How Did ‘Equity, Diversity and Inclusion’ Become the Mantra of Those Who Want to Exclude Dissenters Without Due Process?

by James Alexander
20 July 2023 3:00 PM

Why we must throw the DEI/EDI/DIE protocols into the non-recyclable waste disposal unit of history. This acronym stands for nothing more than DOUBLETHINK, EVIL, and IDIOCY.

Here is a short analysis.

DEI = (on the face of it) Diversity, Equity, Inclusion.

What are these things?

They are words. And they are perverted, inverted, twisted words. They are Ministry of Truth constructions. Each word means the opposite of what it is meant to mean.

Let’s take each one in turn.

  • Diversity = Perverted Uniformity
  • Equity = Perverted Partiality
  • Inclusion = Perverted Exclusion

Why is ‘diversity’ actually ‘perverted uniformity’? Because ‘diversity’ does not mean complete diversity. It means a fictional or notional diversity. In fact diversity is a criterion of membership: if one ticks the box of diversity – however it is defined – then one has the state uniform: no longer imperial red but proud rainbow colours with add-ons. Diversity, wholly paradoxically, is a token by which one becomes a member of the system. Twenty years ago, Ian Robinson said that political correctness is the “unofficial solidarity” of the ruling class. Now it is more like an official ideology. If one ticks the boxes of, say, certain opinions about Race, Gender, Climate, Vaccines, European Union, then one can be as censorious, nepotistic, even corrupt, as one likes.

Why is ‘equity’ actually ‘perverted partiality’? Because, as everyone knows, equity ≠ equality of opportunity. It is, officially, equality of outcome between different identity groups (as an aspiration): but it remains an aspiration. In practice, ‘equity’ is an extremely selective package of preferences, in favour of exaggerating the oppression of certain chosen marginalised communities and engaging in certain, usually very limited, interventions to suggest that one’s corporation or university or other institution is so encouraging that a certain very limited number of talented members of minorities rise to their natural place, whereas, in fact, the entire thing is a stitch-up (in that some members of certain minorities are elevated beyond their actual desert) and a fig leaf (in that most other members of the same minorities remain exactly where they are, in ghettos).

Why is ‘inclusion’ actually ‘perverted exclusion’? Because, as Nigel Farage has recently discovered, as soon as Coutts declared itself to be an ‘inclusive institution’ the first thing it did was ‘de-bank’ him. In other words, it was the opposite of what it claimed to be. It was actually an exclusive institution. Inclusion is a token like diversity and is used in exactly the same way. If one can tick a box called ‘inclusion’ (defined arbitrarily) then one can go about the business of being even more exclusive than usual: and, as we see, in a particularly nasty doubleuntruthful groupthinking way, which is all the worse because its exponents are wholly unaware of being hypocrites and closet totalitarians.

All of this is really just the latest version of Antichrist. Jesus condemned all this:

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

Matthew 23

If we replace MAC (mint anise cummin) with DIE then we have a perfect condemnation of the current Couttsian correctness. Our masters pay the tithe of DEI, and omit weightier matters of law, judgement, mercy and faith.

Dr. James Alexander is a Professor in the Department of Political Science at Bilkent University in Turkey.

Basically the main tool of politically correct and woke ideology is ———–Intolerance in the name of Tolerance.

or ‘Wipe out everyone and everything we don’t like, then we can be tolerant of what’s left.’ Classic totalitarianism that would make Mao, Stalin and Hitler happy!

Gender Fascism – had a run in with my large corporate HR. They asked me to infill a personal info form (new role) and on it were the usual questions about gender, what are you etc. So I wrote I am a proud Catholic White heterosexual male, family man, with no mental illnesses. Role begins evthg ok, but the HR idiots visited me and questioned my attitudes. So I repeated what I wrote, adding that I won’t work with mentally ill ‘my dick is a vagina’ freaks. I told them, fire me if you want, but I don’t support the mental illness of no-pride. I got the usual, diversity, safety, inclusivity blah blah. Whatever says I. I won’t be forced by you or anyone else to play along, as simple as that. Off they go. This is how idiotic it has become.

We are in the Dumb Ages.

Even this has a forerunner in postwar Germany: A cornerstone of the so-called fortified democracy is the motto No freedom for the enemies of freedom. This is obviously hogwash[*]: When the state gets to decide who’s an enemy of freedom and thus, doesn’t deserve freedom of expression, association and assembly, then, these freedoms simply don’t exist. The state may be toleraby lenient in enforcing its totalitarian order but there’s nothing which guarantees this.

[*] This is actually so obvious that it took me the better part of 30 years to figure irt out, based on an upbringing inside the German socio-political system.

Grabbing power and holding on to it by saying “I’m great and you are not” or “I’m horrible and I am seizing power because I can” may lead to resistance. Grabbing power by saying “I’m kind, you must be kind too” or “I will save you from a deadly plague” is a much better sell.

”How Did ‘Equity, Diversity and Inclusion’ Become the Mantra…”. Because no one, especially at work, wants to be called a racist. Look what the Conservative Party did to Enoch Powell for speaking the truth.

Yes, agree. But I have wondered why those who have wrongly been called racist in public or print have not sought slander damages.

Have you seen how the law and courts work? The entire process would be a punishment in itself, the risk of losing high, and the cost probably ruinous, even if successful

It’s one or the other.

If Coutts was an Inclusive Organisation – even under the warped meaning of the DIE mantra – it wouldn’t restrict its accounts to the mega-wealthy.

It’s quite illuminating that they de-banked Farage because he didn’t align with their “values” but they happily provide a banking service for Andrew Windsor ….. a man who freely associated with a mega-wealthy paedophile.

It’s NGOs like BCorp that are working behind the scenes to capture business for the DIE agenda. These organisations need to be proscribed.
