Script:
Congratulations, graduates!
Your days of indoctrination in wokeism are behind you. Your worries about being graded down because you wouldn’t say America is systemically racist? Over. Your fears that you’d be socially shunned because of your failure to decry the evils of capitalism? Done. Yes, you’ve been liberated!
Next stop: the real world, where merit is rewarded, diversity of opinion is welcomed, and the free and open exchange of ideas is celebrated.
Just kidding.
The truth is, many of you are about to move from the ivory tower of the authoritarian left to…well, probably, the glass and steel tower of the authoritarian left.
Today’s business behemoths have also become bastions of woke thought. Terrified of discrimination lawsuits and all the time, money, and bad PR, they bend to every woke diktat that blows through their HR departments.
Corporations spend millions on useless “diversity compliance officers” whose sole purpose is to insulate them from an ever-expanding list of discrimination claims, but most especially, racism. That’s why, within the first few days on the job, you will likely be subjected to an orientation taught by a devotee of Ibram X. Kendi or Robin DiAngelo. During a day-long struggle session, this “anti-racist” consultant will inform you that, if you’re white, you must become “less white.” And if you’re a person of color (a P.O.C), you are a victim.
Corporations cater to their squeakiest customers-and the authoritarian left is nothing if not squeaky; it threatens boycotts and company-destroying publicity if businesses refuse to comply with its demands.
According to a study by James Bailey and Hilary Phillips as reported in the Harvard Business Review, a generic corporation identified as apolitical or liberal saw no blowback from a panel of prospective consumers; but a generic corporation identified as conservative saw a 33% drop in opinion, “entirely driven by participants who identified as Democrats.” That’s why your boss will likely send out regular company-wide emails assuring you that he or she or xe is on the Right Side of History and pledging millions of dollars in support of whatever the leftist cause du jour happens to be. And you’ll be forced to echo these messages or seek employment elsewhere.
Corporations, above all, are risk averse and controversy averse. This means that they are petrified of their own woke workers and cater to them in order to avoid media-manufactured blowback. While apolitical staffers and conservatives may constitute the majority of employees at any company, the corporate heads are driven by fear of a vocal ideological minority. Which is why if you offend one of your fellow employees on a message board by suggesting that there are non-sexist reasons why men outnumber women in STEM jobs, you’ll be summarily fired. Just ask James Damore of Google.
Conservatives used to believe that what happened in college stayed in college. This was a colossal mistake. Slowly but surely, college radicals have renormalized America’s institutions. Let’s talk about how.
Author Nassim Nicholas Taleb discusses the process of re-normalization in his book, Skin in the Game. Let’s say you have a family of four, including one daughter who only eats vegan. Mom now has a choice: she can cook two meals-one for the non-vegan family members, and one for her daughter; or she can cook one meal with only vegan ingredients. She decides to cook only one meal. This is renormalization of the family unit, which has converted from majority non-vegan to vegan.
Now, says Taleb, have the family attend a barbecue with three other families. The host has to make the same choice mom did-make one meal or make two. This process of renormalization-the “new normal”-continues until broader and broader numbers have been moved by one inflexible person.

Exactly, as soon as the daughter brings that up the parent or parents need to say well this family doesn't eat that way so if you dont want to eat what we make then you can make your own food. Its basically what most of that grew up before all this BS heard all the time. If I complained about what was cooked I was told eat it or be hungry and if you get hungry enough you'll eat it. And I'm a better person for it. Even though I'm a picky eater still, there are so many foods I would have never tried if was allowed to always not eat what we had. Now ofcourse once I tried something if I really didn't like it I wasn't made to eat it but it still got me try things and most of was just another one of those life lessons about listening to your parents that kids far too often dont get today and that's part of the problem.

Hypothetically, wouldn’t that be like a vegan family telling their child who wants to eat meat, “If you want to eat meat, raise some cows! Butcher them.” Which would be a bit ridiculous, in my opinion. It’s fair to ask the child to prepare the food themselves, in either situation; however, explain how it is justified to ask the child to grow their own food. Our way of life is predicated on others growing food for us. Because it literally takes acres to grow enough food for one person, not to mentioned specialization of labor and equipment. The responsibility is on us to prepare it, not to grow it.

Back in the 90's our daughter wanted to go vegan (vegetarian at the time) in her teens. I made our normal food and she was told she was welcome to eat the fruit and veggies only. I made no allowances for her veganism, but she was welcome to do so if she wished. It lasted about two weeks and she was saved from a lifetime of limitation in her diet and more importantly from feeling that the world revolved her.

Nope, studies and investigations that take place in reality have actually found that every city where a blm/antifa riot occurred the homicide and violent crime rates skyrocketed, especially after the Police were defunded. The only reason "Alt Right/White Nationalist terrorism" are rated so high is because Left Wing terrorism is purposefully left out.

And they **certainly** wouldn't expect everyone at the neighborhood BBQ to all eat vegan.

@@Dennis-nc3vw You were the one claiming that I engaged in a logical fallacy. If this is no different than the Cultural Bolshevism conspiracy theory, then comparing the ideologies of Ben Shapiro and Dennis Prager (or, rather, the people who write their checks) to that of the Nazis isn't inaccurate. Also, the Nazis weren't anti-capitalist. At least, they weren't after the Night of the Long Knives occurred. Once Hitler obtained power, any "socialist" elements in the National Socialist party were quickly and ruthlessly purged. At best, you can say they engaged in a very warped variation of social democracy (one tailored to fit the interests of the state rather than the workers, as evidenced by their treatment of trade unionists), but even that system is fundamentally capitalist in nature and based on Keynesian demand-side economics.

Just because your parents forced their beliefs on you doesn't mean you have to do the same to your children. Imagine that your kid is thinking for themself enough to decide to make a change like that in their life, and you shut them down? It's moments like that in which kids need the most support from their parents. They should be encouraged to develop and think for themselves, so long as they are safe and mature. If your aren't sure if it's safe to be vegan, do some research first. I've got some advice: tell your child to show some responsibility with this change and help cook meals each night. It could be a great opportunity to spend some time together and for them to learn and grow.

BLM is an extension of Critical Theory, which is purposely designed to repress empathy toward other human beings in order to build an army of political activists. It scapegoats and dehumanizes its target group using its devilishly convoluted and unfalsifiable hypothesis set in its own metaphysical world. Its actions sow the seeds to genocide.

If my daughter is vegan, I would probably have a hybrid thing- she would definitely have to take more responsibility in her own cooking, BUT I would probably add more vegan dishes into our family diet so it wouldn't be all her responsibility all the time. I think there's a small yet sufficient Middle ground where you can support someone in a decent way and still have the person be not completely offended when someone doesn't support their decision in exactly the way that they want. The left is definitely guilty of this with their "if you don't abide by x to the letter then you're cancelled", but the right is definitely guilty too- many of their things just don't provide the support for people who do abnormal things and tend to view things in black and white

The purpose of a business is to make money. That's all this is. Whether or not we like it or not, the majority of Americans are "woke". If we want to stay relevant we have to appeal to these people. Stop being anti gay and anti trans, stop being against BLM, and give them a reason to vote Republican instead of giving them a thousand reasons to vote against us.
