Kulturkampf

[Eric Cartman]

It was and is totally unreasonable.  

In most cases opportunities are equal.
There is lets say a 5% - 10% minority that inherits millions from their parents or becomes a famous celebrity because of their talent in sports, stonks, OnlyFans or music that is 'privileged'.
The rest of the population in the 'free world' basically operates on a level playing field. If you want to get ahead you basically have to put in the work. Simple as.

Most of the so-called 'opressed' don't want to put in the work. Look at ResetEra, in every thread the trans folx will remind you that it is not their job to educate you about their feelings.
They don't want to actually explain their situation because they know that it is complete and total bullshit 99% of the time.

Sure even if you put in the work, you can still get fired or fail but you gained experience and you will have a better starting point for whatever else you want to do next.

If you just hide behind 'yt peepo', 'oppression', 'transphobia' or 'capitalism' you can simply blame everything and everyone without having to do introspection about why you weren't hired for a job, why all your co-workers dislike you or why your copyright infringing gay furry porn has no demand. 

I would never hire a member from ResetEra, not because of their race or gender but simply because they can't deal with mild criticism, they constantly try to backstab other members of their community and they can't be trusted. The crying about being so tired of everything all the time is also not a trait any employer or client is looking for. Their 'perspective' simply adds nothing of value and unlike what they believe most businesses would've loved a better outcome where DEI had improved their profits, production, quality or even just the staff turn-over.

I mean... there is a very solid social and business rationale underlying it, which is that people tend to group with similar people subconsciously, so someone who - for whatever reason - does not easily fit in with the hiring group has less of a chance to be hired than someone who is more obviously a part of the existing group. If all hiring was done 'double blind', this would be less of an issue, but HR people aren't going to make their own jobs redundant by having like, an online talent test or whatever, and want to do interviews to find 'a good fit' for the 'company culture'.
And sometimes to justify their own jobs write long memos about what they think the 'company culture' actually is and invent procedures to enforce it.

The downside to this is groupthink, and there have been a lot of studies that deliberately breaking groupthink improves the survivability of the group, especially in a business environment - sometimes you need an 'outsider' perspective to tell the emperor he's not wearing any clothes.

Eras problem is literally that they don't want a diversity of perspective, so constantly make retarded decisions because they only hire moderators who are already balls deep in the koolaid.
