Yes, we are under attack. Even if recent events aren't an act of outright sabotage, which I wholly believe is happening to a degree, the backbone of our collective industry has been compromised by the push for diversity over quality labor. The state of the West has also had a severe demoralizing effect on employees who are otherwise competent. Many don't see the point in giving their best anymore. Why take pride in your work when the world you live in will have zero respect for you either way?
