So I'm a lurker in a hobby group.
Like most technical hobbies there are not a lot of women.
The only person I know that identifies as female is transgender.
Nobody is excluding women. No one is even bringing gender up at all. Half the community could be women and you wouldn't know it because nobody is talking about that stuff. (But since it's a nerdy hobby that requires a lot of technical skill you know it's going to be almost all men.)
There's also no discussion of race. Very few users have ever appeared on camera and it's not like anyone is bringing up their race out of the blue. So we also would have no way of knowing what race 95% of the users are
There's no politics. There's no banter.
Nothing controversial is ever discussed.
It's all perfectly on topic or topic adjacent.
It's 80% technical talk, 10% movies/games/media, and 10% small talk.
Well the community recently ran a survey of users to get a grasp on skill level, tools, interests, and desires of the community and I bet you can see where I'm going with this ...
In the survey results were a whole lot of "suggestions" that are blatant attempts at woke entryism.
(I've got a suspicion they're all from the same person or small group of people.)
-
Calls to improve the diversity of the community.
(Where we know almost no-one's race, and no-one cares what anyone else's race is.) -
Calls to make the community more open and inviting.
(It's open to everyone who doesn't act like a jerk. You don't even have to be a skilled builder to participate people are fully welcome to just spectate and chat. It couldn't possibly get more open.) -
Calls to make the community more friendly to women.
(It's not unfriendly to women, or friendly to men. Your gender literally doesn't matter in the community.) -
Calls to start doing more feminine projects and activities to make the community more interesting to women.
(Again, this group is for a very specific, gender irrelevant, hobby. Only way to introduce feminine projects would be to make it about something else.)
I'm not privy to the discussions of the small mod team, but I'm pretty sure someone has already approached them (or will soon) about adding a "female", diversity focused, moderator with power to make changes to the community to improve diversity and appeal to women.
And as we know all too well, that's when things start to go downhill, fast.

Here is what you wanted.
This is exactly right.
This is actually a huge line of attack. Look, this "diversity" nonsense is just that so absolutely shove it in their face and back on them that their "diversity" is in utter contradiction to their actions and demands for equality. Make them admit to being explicitly intolerant of dissent. Make them admit that they do not want diversity in a range of opinions. Push on the idea that equality is homogeneous, and is antithetical to diversity. If you want one, you must deny the other.
If you have to be careful, malicious compliance works well. Make them answer very uncomfortable questions.
I had a friend do this with HR. Literally texted me while it was happening. HR was pushing for everyone to fill out their race on their payroll website. They were going to use it DIE initiatives (never say DEI, Diversity Equity Inclusion, always say DIE or Diversity Inclusion Equity). He knew there would be questions later on that could be asked anonymously, I told him to ask "What would the punishments be for individuals who didn't register their race with HR?"
It's trick question. Punishing people for not registering is a violation of the 1964 Civil Rights act and opens up the company to class-action lawsuits.
They admitted that anyone would be allowed to put anything down under racial status including no preference.
Make them do that all the time. God willing, push them to assert whether they have a stance on the Jewish Question. Make them openly assert that Jews are either Jews or White. Make them it's exclusive. They will almost never answer, but if they do it's a trap you can hit them with. If they say Whites can't be Jews, ask them why they don't recognize white Jews or white Jewish converts. If they say whites can be Jews, flip the whole script and start referring to Jews and Whites interchangeably. "So when you say Whites are Jews, then do we need to talk about Jewish Privilege? How do we become less Jewish to make this company more welcoming?"
Always find their inconsistencies and hit them with very uncomfortable questions and uncomfortable truths.
Totally agree. There is no reason not to fight. You are just giving ground without resisting. Always resist, even in a lost cause. Even if it is a lost cause (which it really may not be), do not hesitate to fight wherever you are.
The trouble with creating inconsistencies is that while it may turn back 1 individual, it doesn't really stop the whole. Dialectical materialism is the underlying philosophy of marxism, and it's not that easy to understand because it's not meant to be. But one of the cores of it is that it relies on a constant churning of ideas as inconsistencies lead to a synthesis of a new idea which is just as flimsy, but being consistent is not the point.
The "movement" will just come up with a new synthesis where "whiteness" is an identity and a series of behaviours whereas "Jewish" is a racial identity.
It's winning the battle but losing the war.
Sure but as you point out, that's tactics over strategy.
Grand strategic counter-measures requires much more organization than we currently have. Teach your kids, friends, and family how to arm themselves against Leftists, build yourself into someone with wealth and power, and then we can talk about strategically undermining and attacking them.
That was a good read. Thanks for posting it.
Good article. This is key imo:
