What’s So Great About Diversity?

Excerpt:
"‘Diversity is our strength.’ One hears this, or myriad variants of the same idea, unrelentingly.
...
But you and I both know there isn’t a lot of evidence to support this cliché. Worse, if you’re like me you’re thinking that these are the same elites who massively failed us by imposing thuggish, illiberal lockdowns that weaponised the police, closed schools, infringed all sorts of free speech criticisms and also transferred huge wealth from poor to rich and from young to old (think asset inflation after steroidal money printing and unchecked government spending). You’re remembering these are the same elites who likewise failed us by not being willing to stand up to a transgender lunacy lobby that makes those with IQs over 130 unable to say what a woman is. The same elites, too, who failed us by abandoning all scepticism and critical thinking around our changing weather, willingly impoverishing us in the patent untruth that renewables are cheaper all-up. Like me you’re wondering what the odds are that these same people are likely to be right about anything. Hint: Not bloody high. And certainly not very high that they are right about some motherhood-type slogan meant to silence debate about large-scale immigration and about their efforts to take merit out of any and all hiring and ‘who gets into university’ decisions. This looks a lot like one of those Mark Twain situations of being quietly coerced to ‘believe what you know ain’t so’."

    Diversity is racism, plain and simple. It makes judgements about people based on race, gender, religion, everything except on who and what a person really is. It's Orwellian doublespeak at its finest.

    Only what I recall a flaming libtard singing to me on a prison tower's phone. His tower was on the opposite side of some cell blocks.
    So I could not see him to line up my tower's AR-15 sights~~no different than this former Marine's M16 sights.
    Bwahaha!

    Hmm.
    Diversity. Or forced diversity?
    This is yet another example where lunatic liberals take things to their absolute extremes.
    Someone needs to explain why society requires every strip of people everywhere.
    Do we need, must we have, must we embrace people who who genuinely hate us?
    People who are fundamentally at odds with our chosen politics?
    At odds with our Constitution?
    At odds with our Christian beliefs?
    At odds with our laws?
    At odds with our mores.

    I'm a live and let live kinda guy.
    I don't care what you do in the privacy of your own bedroom. So long as it does not involve minors!

    But when someone gets in my grill, telling me I Must Accept their beliefs, their life style, their laws (when they fundamentally contradict established law) their lies.... I draw the line.

    As Jay Servern [R.I.P.] used to say: You are free to swing your arms until you hit my nose"

    Same thing. Do what you like, until you try to force me to like, accept, and worse, approve of behavior I don't agree with.

    One last thought: does diversity mean we must have one of everything: the good, the bad and the ugly?
    A representative thief? Rapist? Murder? Satanist? Pedophile? Hey, you can't say you are truly diverse unless you include everyone. ;-)

    We think of "diversity" as, those from different countries/cultures, Different skill sets and talents but the left takes it a huge step further!, The Honest, The criminals, the moral, the immoral, pedos and cannables, heterosexual, bisexual and anything inbetween that's head twistingly absurd.

    Diversity opens an opportunity for the feckless, careless, shiftless, shapeless, shambling, inchoate mediocrities to be invited to the party.

    "Abandoning skepticism is not science". I'm getting this bumper sticker made!

    Diversity includes using gasoline as body wash and going to a weenie roast. It is a demonstrably bad idea. Their are equivalently bad cultural ideas such as placing no value on education, mathematics or clear writing and speaking, or learning to be polite and respecting your elders. Asians and Jews succeed and inner city kids fail for this exact lack of emphasis. There are a plethora of useless and negative cultures, for example, Palestinian "culture". It is animal-violent, negative, and has produced nothing of value. We can have baklava or mamul without it.

    Diversity is not our strength. Our strength is that we can handle diversity without going the way of Czechoslovakia or Yugoslavia. We may be testing the limits of that strength.

    Way back during the mid-Nineties me a state corrections officer dino was one day posted atop one of six gun towers. Due to the installation of electric fencing, now only two of those towers are manned to operate the front and back gates. When retired and talking to former coworkers, I learned blind spots had been created that inmate relatives used to run out of the forest and toss contraband such as narcotics over the fence.
    The above is not the topic of discussion. Me dino just loves telling people that.
    As for the topic, I was atop a tower when a self-described "flaming liberal" I did not like talking to made my tower's phone ring. He described another officer and myself as (and I'm trying to put this nicely) as having anal orifices that are shut too tight.
    Personally, I'd much prefer an anal orifice that is not too loose.
    Yet again, this additional above bla-bla is also not the topic of discussion. What was discussed next was what libtards with anal orifices that are very much too loose love to say about their claim that there is no such thing as illegal immigration.
    Muslims came up as we talked. I held that Islam and our Constitution are incapable and that letting in too many Muslims could threaten national stability.
    As me dino fully expected, I failed to impress that lib one tiny bit.
    He decided to hang up after raising his volume to literally sing: "WHAT this country neeeeds is~~~DI--VER--SI--TEEEEE!"

    Should those preaching for diversity ever need a blood transfusion ….substitute their blood type with Bud lite.

    Diversifying your gold backed currency (that hasn't had any inflation for140 years) and replacing it
    with a banking cartel that steals from everyone and a corrupt fedgov, reduces the value of the
    currency by 99% and causes repeated financial crises.

    Uh-huh. Nothing like diversifying your coffee with a pinch of arsenic. Sort of like diversifying our constitutional republic with a good dose of shariah law.
