Well they also said being punctual is white supremacy. I have yet to hear someone use “micro aggression” in a serious conversation although sadly the DEI VP at work sent us an email with this crap

Once I was on the subway with a (female) friend and made a point of manspreading beside her, then pointed at my crotch and said "ain't nothing micro about this aggression." We weren't friends for much longer, unfortunately.

Remember that list from the Smithsonian (I think it was)? It had everything from being on time to working overtime on it.

Thanks. I couldn’t remember who put that out. If I’m not mistaken they took it down due to backlash

Step 1) Put down ridiculousness

Step 2) Wait for people to complain

If they complained enough, step 3 take it down.

If they didn't complain enough, step 3 leave it up. Narrative is advanced.

For every "caught" narrative, they will remove the Indian and keep the land. They will turn one beer gay without a fight. They will hire a serial plagiarist (not even referring to any particular incident here -- there are so many)

kakistocracy

Competent people don't need to be loyal the the people who got them the position because they have options. Incompetent people promoted above their abilities are completely beholden to the power structure because they don't.

The incompetent person will go out of her way to support her patrons whatever they do where as a competent person will judge each action on its own merits. The incompetent person will be willing to act unethically for her patrons because she knows not doing so means the patron can use any number of "legitimate" reasons, caused by her incompetence, to remove her.

Then the incompetent person who is given authority repeats the cycle for the people under her.

The problem is that many incompetent people believe they are the smart ones and doing things very brightly.

Okay fine. "The least qualified person should not get the job, nor should anyone else but the most qualified"

I'm shocked it is not considered hate speech.

anyone who believes in "microaggressions" deserves repeated and continuous BEATINGS until they stop being retarded, or die. whichever comes first.
