Townhall
This event happened in January, but it’s still relevant, especially as the diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) nonsense is being swept away like the flood. Political commentator Coleman Hughes, who isn’t a conservative, was invited to discuss speech and race for a speaker series hosted by the Macdonald-Laurier Institute. Abigail Shrier was also at the event. Hughes spokes about DEI and had the perfect parable about the DEI bureaucracy that’s spot-on and will likely infuriate the Left:
They decided to give a cash reward for every person who brought in a dead snake, thinking that, you know, two plus two equals four, all the dead snakes will be gone. Turns out if you give a cash reward for dead snakes, people will breed snakes and kill them and start snake farms. And it turns out there are way more snakes at the end of this dumb program than there were at the beginning. That’s kind of like what DEI Bureaucracies are.
Coleman Hughes addressing the Macdonald-Laurier Institute
If you have too many of a certain animal, start a rumor that it is an aphrodisiac and it will quickly go extinct.
Another way of saying: If all you have is a hammer, everything becomes a nail.
DEI and the Intersectionality Derby
Being more screwed up than other applicants is encouraged in order to get past the HR screening process and an interview. It has become more or less what resume’ is graded on in order to get through the first step, the HR Department, at all public agencies around here.
Exactly like welfare and whatever program pays women to have children without a father in the house.
He left out the best part; when the Brits finally figured out what was going on, they stopped paying the bounty for dead snakes, so the snake farmers turned the snakes loose.
I thought this story was about burying expired Democrats
Not sure how the analogy of creating a market for dead snakes relates to DEI, except maybe for comparison of the outcome. DEI creates a deadly component in society through division, isolation and elimination (DIE) caused by DEI’s destruction policies that are marketed as progress, except it’s a big grift – a lie. The actual result, participants in DEI programs become like dead snakes…useless and in large numbers wasteful, if DEI is not ended immediately.
Actually, the graveyards are full of expired democrats, and they all still vote.
