Does anyone remember the PATRIOT Act?

The name on the tin of official doctrine is never descriptive of what's inside.

It's shameful that so many people look at something like DEI - which pulls at the emotional and historical heartstrings of most people - and simply assume that it says what it is and it is what it says.

Once DEI became a political movement instead of a social one, the whole point of DEI (like many other come-and-gone movements) was usurped by nothing more than a power grab by political elites.

Political theorist Curtis Yarvin likens this phenomenon to the behavior of heroin addicts.

You might notice that heroin addicts seem to like to congregate in the dimly lit alleys, dingy parking lots of closed businesses, under bridges, in abandoned houses.

Do heroin addicts go to those places because they enjoy the ambiance? They're big time dingy parking lot aficionados? They just love the under-the-bridge charm?

NO! It's because those places are where they can get and use heroin.

Politicians didn't care about DEI. They cared about the power it let them wield. They cared about the new budgets they could oversee, the influence it gave them in corporate America and at cocktail parties with glamorous celebrities.

You should start to wonder when a politician starts telling you something that sounds like it makes you want to vote for them or donate to their campaign. You should wonder if it's true. You should perhaps consider they're only telling you what you want to hear because it's popular for them to say it.

Just ask the other forgotten pet causes that pols have glommed on to in order to draw power to themselves. Remember when the Ds were the party of the working class? That's because that's where the heroin used to be.
