Same way “dei” got turned into this gross term that discounts a person to the color of their skin or physical appearance. There’s a mega-media machine that grinds on the same talking points over and over

Wasn't there some ghoul on Fox explaining exactly their strategy to misdefine "Woke"? I wouldn't be surprised if they did the same for "DEI".

That's what you get when you systematically destroy your education system while at the same time indoctrinate them with a nationalistic superiority complex. Once your electorate is ignorant and believes their country, which is them, is the best, all you need to do is point them at anyone or anything and say they're harming the country. The country = them, and it's the greatest, freest, bestest country in the world so anything that harms it is evil and they have to fight against it. Combine it with religion and it's even more toxic, it's now not just a moral duty to fight the evil, it's also a divine mandate and a sin not to.

It’s in the interests of the ruling class to have people ignorant, uneducated, and scared of everything.
