Google’s DEI rollback might seem like it’s just an example of liberal-conservative culture war but what’s happening is more sinister than that. We should read it in context. A mega-corp strategically bowing before the government like this is an example of the growing authoritarianism as the US leans further toward white nationalism. The concentration camps and mass deportations are already occurring. Stripping racial minorities of citizenship is looking to be the next step - which may seem implausible until you consider how effective this regime has been at collapsing the checks and balances on its powers.

- grafmax 1y agoNumerous officials in the current administration including prominent financiers have expressed white nationalist, Christian nationalist, authoritarian and anti-democratic views. At this point we’re willfully sticking our heads in the sand if we think this isn’t what’s going on.

- grafmax 1y agoEthno-nationalism has spreading across the global north contributing to the decay of democratic and the rise of “illiberal democracy”. There are many ways to react to this. Fear, denial, touching grass - they aren’t your only options. You can try to do something about it. Even if you don’t change much, it feels good to stand up for what’s right. It feels better than fear and denial, if you ask me.
