Being accepting of DEI is a slippery slope to disaster

[Ba$ed]

Many I see have asked why, so please permit me to explain why this is relevant to this game.

It is quite unfortunate that the developers of this game have included - insidiously too, mind you, DEI. that is, one aspect of wokeness, into the game.

Why is this a problem? Well, let me inform you.

DEI is death. DEI leads to people not being qualified for jobs and roles, thus getting themselves and others hurt and killed because of their ineptitude and blind 'faith'.

DEI leads to inequity because it promotes people in society based solely on a characteristic of the individual - being sex, sexuality, phenotype - characteristics completely unrelated to merit in the vast majority of occupations. This leads to inequity, resentment and social discord.

DEI is hierarchical, and being unrelated to merit, it encourages bullying behaviours and imposes punishment on those who refuse to conform with its ideology.

DEI is societal and cultural poison. It is simply fascism because of its hierarchical nature (one identity being seen as superior to another and, naturally, its corollary, one identity being inferior to another) as well as its bullying and even exploitative nature.

Christopher Hitchens said, "Religion poisons everything." I disagree with the absolutism. Instead, I think it is those extremes that poison everything. Wokeism is a cult-like religion seeking dominion. Having a gay character in a game is not a problem. It's having a character who was 100% straight then becoming gay because of the developers' DEI ideology and money from DEI-promoting businesses that is the problem. It is the cultural relativism message being pushed by the developers in the game when clearly one culture has enormous disadvantages for the other sex, as well as society in general, that is the problem, but these facts are ignored. Look at the world around you.

Lastly, it is the arrogance of the developers pushing this poison into a game and thinking they'd get away it without anyone knowing that this propaganda is in the game before they bought it.

I wish everyone well, including the developers. DEI will negatively affect them too at some point and if they have listened to what myself and a great many others have said, then they may - one day soon, I hope - avoid the truly awful trap that is DEI and wokeness, for their sake and their families'.

DEI is Marx and Hegel on many levels and it is designed to where you are not supposed to be able to disagree with it. But it failed. "Jesus be Praised it is Trump come to visit us!" World is turning against and and Asia seems to be totally against it, mostly because it displaces their people and worships nonsense.

Sorry, you're actually wrong about DEI being fascism.

It's actually more on the Marxist (left) side of the road. Don't worry, the roads converge later and can meet in the same place, under the boot of some autocrat.

USSR was communist though due to the Bolsheviks. NSDAP were fighting the Bolsheviks due to the state they turned the country into (ie Wiemar Republic).

The book burning were not random books, they were the material from the ISS (institute of Sexual Studies). Why would they be burning that? Why did they ban pornography, prostitution, etc...?

What was a major problem in Wiemar Republic concerning that topic? Who promoted and distributed this material? Why were the Germans so angry as this stuff?

Hmm....

You missed the entire point.

What he means is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor. Real Wrath-of-God type stuff! Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling! 40 years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes! The dead rising from the grave! Human sacrifice, cats and dogs living together, mass hysteria!

communisim fascisim and socialisim have massive overlapping features.. they only vary slightly in modes and means of control exerted by the authoritarian governments and or cults...

Wow! Everything you just said is wrong!

Yeah, you could say these less serious offenses being silently put into the game are the lube prepping you for what's to come.

Appreciate your thoughts.
