I have a close friend that I've known 20 years who became obsessed with right-wing politics. even though I'm liberal, I don't make it my entire personality and life. But anyway... I was talking to him this morning casually like friends do.

Me: "Hey man. Do you have off today for MLK day?" Friend: "No, I have to work today." Me: "Damn, sorry to hear. I have off today since it's a company holiday." Friend: "Yeah, I work for a living. Guess that's the difference me and people who live in an ivory tower." Me: "Uhh I work for a living too. Idk why you're acting like I don't?" Friend: "I didn't mean you specifically. But you’re off and I’m not so it shows that you get to relax at least. You should be able to handle the truth lol. There's no shame in admitting that I'm a harder worker than everyone else. you shouldn't be so sensitive"

Honestly, he's not unique, either. I've met so many people who are conservative, obsessed with right-wing stuff, and they're all like this. They act like they're special and the whole world is lazy, "no one wants to work anymore" attitude.

Some people are too stupid to understand to advocate for themselves against their owner daddy.

They only know to advocate for themselves against dirty migrant workers who gonna take their jerbs! But never against the owner hiring these undesirables.

To be clear, liberals have their own blind spots.

How is hiring some overpaid clown and make you sit through a "seminar" during work is DEI?

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

I've had to have those seminars reframed to understand them. They aren't meant to actually increase diversity, equity, or inclusion. There are policies meant to be read and understood, and there are policies meant to be pointed at. Those seminars are like the sexual harassment seminars. They aren't thinking "now that we've informed you of how to not act like a sexual predator in the workplace you'll be more prepared to behave yourself." They're making you take that seminar so that way when someone tries to claim that they didn't know they couldn't tell their coworkers about their genitals at work you can point to the sexual harassment training you gave them. These dei lectures are about liability.

Those seminars are like the sexual harassment seminars. Th

Boomers sexually harassed women so now younger people have to do a training for it

Same thing with racism...

People who did are not taking these stupid seminars.

As you said, this is for corporate propaganda and legal liability issues
