It's 35 years past 'greed is good' that inspired a whole generation, 15 years since with the post financial crash bailouts plutocrats became convinced they were effectively untouchable by government and institutions but feared the 'pitchforks' of the masses that would eventually come from relentlessly driving inequality, 13 years since the first successfull mitigation of the pitchforks at occupy wallstreet by having them turn on each other, and 9 years since the systemic institutionalization
of that strategy in SDG and later EDI.
Today all that has changed is that Gordon Gekko now wears a rainbow t-shirt and preaches to aim your inequality pitchforks at your fellow workers under his rule.
It has been well over 2000 years since "divide et imper", and nothing has changed, really.
- ZeroGravitas 3y agoInteresting theory, but doesn't explain why the people complaining about ESG and DEI are all right-wing, Billionaire-bootlickers? Are you sure you haven't been divided and conquered by this transparent nonense?
- PeterStuer 3y agoInteresting factual rebuttal you've made there. Don't hold back.
