This has been the bread and butter since occupy wall st. “Diversity” in the workplace shows workers are less likely to unionize, less likely to advocate for each other, and more likely to turn on each other. Keep the hens fighting while you take their eggs.
And yet so few people are unwilling to take the next logical step and admit that diversity is just as divisive and harmful in our communities as it is at our workplaces. I mean if diversity can sow enough tribalist mistrust to prevent unionization, how does diversity impact trust and cohesion in other spaces?
Problem is they're temporarily "rewarding" the diversity people so they're cheering it. Until it's a few years down the line and you're another grunt and your diversity means nothing anymore. Short term thinking. Reward diversity until it's time not to.
