Good grief. I'm all for people offering argument and critique, and I feel like there is a lot of useful stuff in this article, but claiming that a carefully worded essay (by a "lay person") on the subject of diversity from a non-radically progressive point of view is really covert fascism makes OP look like a political hack.
No mainstream conservative or libertarian is going to take that statement seriously. I'm still going to finish reviewing the arguments and evidence provided, but who could trust that the OP is really giving us, the audience, the whole picture?
For a saner discussion of the matter, see the debate between Scott Alexander and Adam Grant[0].

- Hasknewbie 9y agoShe actually addresses the 'fascism' part toward the end, noting that Memo-man assigned specific moral values (and excluded other) to what he labels conservatism, but that specific set of values actually matches fascism. I do not take this to mean that the guy explicitly (or consciously) is facist, but that his values lean that way.
