Propaganda has done a really good job somehow convincing people that DEI was about exclusion at the expense of meritocracy rather than inclusion at that expense of nepotism.
Then the people that fall for it are so quick to point out "well why does it seem like there's way less resources to go around?" instead of asking why are so many resources being hoarded by a small group of individuals.
And please don't get me started on darwinism/survival of the fittest BS. As if we didn't realize long ago the "superior bloodlines" of many inbred resource hoarders left them at risk of being taken out by papercuts.
So how do the Monte Burnses of the world survive to such frail old age? RESOURCE HOARDING!!!!
