In a 40 year professional engineering career, the only racists I ever met were black women from HR.

Attendance at this event is not mandatory, but executive staff would appreciate it if you could attend this completely voluntary event. What do you do?

I'd go - and make life miserable for them.

Believe me: I can do it.

Repercussions? I don't care.

Regards,

Self-defense protects the gift of life that comes from God. It would be sinful to eschew self-defense. That's pretty basic stuff.

I understand your desire to use the state to quash leftism. It's pretty common. It's also how we got here. The left statists violate the Constitution, then the right statists use that same violation to "one-up" the left statists when they're in power, ha ha ha we showed them. Until the left statists take charge, and back and forth. Each side gets their jollies, and America withers.

SCOTUS handed America a rare glimpse last month with Dobbs, NY State, and EPA, of how to recover our country with fidelity to the Constitution. Defanging Leviathan works.

Like coloring rainbows or waving rainbow flags while drilling for the upcoming Proud to be a Rainbow Parade?

I’m not a libertarian.

I just don’t believe bigger government and more regulation makes sense. I don’t want a nanny state telling us what to do at each turn. You think otherwise. I get it.

Where I work the bosses (which probably really means HR) have been requiring the staff to take a "working together" participatory online video seminar. They did it in small groups and you have to participate with your video camera on, so you can't just plug in your headset and ignore what's going on to either get some real work done or just play around on your phone for three hours. The first victims said it was completely woke, a complete waste of time (or worse) and just generally hammered it in the post class review.

I have it on my training schedule at some unspecified time, but it seems to have been on pause for a few months. Hopefully they eliminate it completely rather than merely reworking some of the more hostile sections.

Seems to me that when you give hiring and firing control to an unproductive organization in any company you end up with a host of problems. HR is counter productive and useless. They don’t build anything except bureaucracy. They attract leftists and the incompetent. Real men build things and make profits. HR does the opposite.

These liberal fascists aren't used to getting pushback, much less counterattack -- DeSantis and the Florida legislature have been doing stellar work in this regard.

The strategy is give no ground and press on with the counteroffensive. It's a great thing to behold.

“The left statists violate the Constitution, then the right statists use that same violation to “one-up” the left statists when they’re in power, ha ha ha we showed them. Until the left statists take charge, and back and forth.”

Yes life is a battle of self interests, it’s a constant tug of war.

The alternative is for one side to be passive and get destroyed by the other.

So instead of fighting back and protecting your interests you prefer having them run you to the ground.

“SCOTUS handed America a rare glimpse last month with Dobbs, NY State, and EPA, of how to recover our country with fidelity to the Constitution. Defanging Leviathan works.”

Thanks for making my point! The only reason that happened is because enough people on the right had had it with the status quo and fought back by electing Trump. If everyone had your attitude nothing would have changed, in fact with Hildabeast as president they would have gotten worse for our side.

And by the way, “an eye for an eye” is also a biblical principle.

And God helps those who help themselves.

THANKFUL FOR THIS. When my daughter worked for Bank of America in JAX, she was forced to support ‘gay’ parades!?!

I’m typically leery of laws forcing corporations not receiving government funds to ban things, but in this case, DeSantis is apparently banning them from telling grotesque lies to their employees, so I guess I’m OK with that. :-)

I’m also OK with him banning companies from requiring vaccine passports (2021), since that would be the start of a Red Chinese-style social credit system, just like ESG on the corporate level.

Get a COVID test kit and rig it to test positive.

Or just attend the silly meeting out of morbid curiosity.

Unlike corporate wokery, capitalism and free markets aren’t based on grotesque lies. Here, something fundamentally dishonest and hurtful is being banned.

In most cases, you are being correct. But here, you have corporate agents acting like leftist governments, dividing the people against each other and creating a hostile workplace environment based on lies. That should be actionable.

Suppose some employer talks about how, at one time, all politicians were well-connected white men. Women and minorities were shoved off to the side. What is that employer trying to do? He’s probably trying to stir up trouble. But should it be a crime?

Those things aren't lies. The components of wokery that the article mentions are.

They are on to those tricks. They will give you a computer quiz afterward and you will have to pass it...or else! That’s how they ran the sexual harassment training I had to endure. The company bought some cheesy training software that had actors in various harassment situations and you had to determine what rule or law they were violating.

Just imagine the training scenarios today with pronouns and trannies and queens and puppy people. Ugh.
