Called it 40 minutes after the attempt on Trump. We are witnessing a sea change. Anyone who’s brainworms haven’t yet reached critical mass is going to wake up this week as if stepping out of a dream. Similar to what we saw with covidmania but much more abrupt. Biden and the debate was just foreshadowing, we’re about to watch the death of “woke”, live.

God you had better be right. I don't want to have to wade through any more of this dystopian nightmare.

Putting the woke away doesn't mean the nightmare is ending. We're just moving on to the next chapter.

We're already there in Europe thanks to the tendrils of the American empire sponsoring green parties and then starting a war with Russia but my guess is either via elite actions or the repercussions of the war with Russia the US will end up in the same place Europe is within a decade due the weakening of their currency and the end of the petro dollar system.

Woke is more like a fungus you have to subdue every other week. It’s never truly gone

Woke was a vector of attack that failed, and it's become so toxic that all of the corporate and globalist forces that were previously pushing it are now toning it down or abandoning it. The diehard believers who've made it their identity will never abandon it, but they will also never again have the power that they had at its peak. The left is about power. Woke was a means of gaining and holding power, but now it can't be used for that so they've moved on.

Right-wing spaces now are obsessing about woke much more than the establishment left is. The mainstream left-wing political parties, the left-wing media, the corporates: they're having completely different conversations now to the ones that reactionary Twitter accounts are telling you they're having. Just look at the recent non-event that was Pride month now that all of the big corporations have suddenly decided to tone down their virtue-signalling.

If this is ending with establishment blessings, you can almost guarantee what they have planned next is even worse for everyone's freedom somehow.

Drag queens reading to children is a huge leap forward from anything the jews could have imagined being possible twenty years ago, there is no way they are stopping. Two steps forward, one step back is the game.

Gun grabbing Trump is my prediction for the next vector of attack.

Well its been on the cards for many years that they want digital ID. The dream of course switching from a system of manipulation and incentives constructed by the managerial state to a system of direct control. The technology has finally arrived to allow them to do it with "smart utilities" and the "internet of things" and nearly all electronic transactions. They seem to believe that "AI" will allow them to centrally plan the entire economy and every minutiae of peoples lives forever where the soviets failed.

I actually have toyed with the idea that COVID was a dry run for much of what they have planned in this brave new world. If I had to guess something that did give them pause in pushing ahead in 2022 was the deteriorating geopolitical situation in Eastern Europe and I really do think they never quite planned for the scale of resistance they started to encounter. They deployed their most advanced psychic weapons and still it seemed about 20 to 30% of the population still had the ability to resist and certain people were able to break the narrative battle lines. They never really had an exit plan and after the truckers blockaded Ottawa they were at risk of a global populist uprising against the globalist cabal which put to many other interests of the various other elite "capos" at risk. So they had to back off. For now. But they'll be back.

My guess is they will attack the food supply and try and create a new holodomor next. A starving population may be more compliant with their psychic weapons.

there's no change occurring. much like how AGW was rebranded to global warming then to climate change... whenever something the judeo-commies are pushing become unpopular enough, it gets rebranded.

look at some of the replies to that tweet. they explain it. it's now BRIDGE.

If we’re LUCKY, that might be what it is. If we’re UNLUCKY, it might be more of a pivot or rebranding than anything else.

I think the issue is mainly that the farce of “widespread public support” for this shit has become untenable (hence the rapidly shifting narratives, just like it became untenable to support biden after the debate thanks to what the public had been shown), though one can always hope for the triumph of truth over cynicism

Spoiler, it's the latter. For the last two centuries every time the left goes too far they face a backlash. Then they rebrand and hide for a little while until they can infiltrate again and start over. And the collaborators will act like they never bought into it all along.

I was listening to Kirsche, she was warning that with Bridge they won't need DEI teams because it's designed to be ingrained into the company ITSELF.

I'm starting to think that 'a team' part was a Freudian slip and is revealing how many departments already work with this batshit mentality.

I can't stand her accent but she has been way ahead of all this for a while. I hope people start to pick up on BRIDGE and don't think everything is fine just because companies are shutting down DEI teams.

The article: https://archive.is/p5Ewk

"Our D&I commitments remain unchanged," a Microsoft spokesperson, Jeff Jones, said in a statement. "Our focus on diversity and inclusion is unwavering and we are holding firm on our expectations, prioritizing accountability, and continuing to focus on this work."

Microsoft typically makes cuts to its workforce at about this time of year when its fiscal year rolls over. Lately, layoffs at Microsoft and technology companies in general have become more common. The company announced plans last year to cut 10,000 employees within the first few months of 2023. It has conducted additional rounds of layoffs since then.

They're just cutting back on general staff. Even if they got rid of all DEI, they're not going to turn around and fire all the brown retards they forced into management. The fallout from this shit will weigh down society for a generation.

Related note:

I should have canceled long ago, but between Xbox doing some bullshit spotlight on queers and troons, while telling me they're upping Game Pass from 17 to 20/mo? Fuck you assholes. Canceled.

I'm not paying you 250/yr to listen to your globohomo faggotry. I hadn't even been playing much Game Pass lately, noting looks remotely interesting. It was an easy choice.

Don't believe them. They are going to just integrate it into every dept. Just like every company in Communist China has a Communist Party Member in their board and management, they'll require a DEI officer in every dept. Don't fall for this bullshit. Continue to boycott them (or at least pirate their games/software).

Doing it openly with zealous Intersectional cultists broadcasting their motivations and mechanism for discriminating against Whites and East-Asians probably got them nervous since the Supreme Court ruled Universities had to stop racially-discriminating against those demographics ( they still do it though ).

I doubt this is what people think it is. Microsoft is a pajeet company now, DEI rules are meant to undermind the ruling group so they're getting rid of them. They're not going to magically start hiring meritocratically, they just don't want white people deploying those weapons against them.
