Weaponizing Multiculturalism
Like many American baby-boomers born between 1946 and 1964 I was taught that multiculturalism is an American value and one of our greatest strengths! We were taught to celebrate the many diverse cultures that came to the new world seeking a common yearning shared by many cultures - liberty. Indeed for many years the United States has been coined, “The Melting Pot.” No other nation has as many cultures making up one government.
E Pluribus Unum or From Many, One
An American motto since the late 18th century, E Pluribus Unum is incorporated in the Great Seal of The United States of America. When my generation was in high school, American History and Civics were required courses. We learned that America had not always lived up to being the melting pot. We learned that entire cultures had been discriminated against in ways that are the antithesis of a melting pot. We were also expected to treat people as individuals and to respect someone for what they did and how they performed.
In twentieth century we would celebrate different cultural events and discuss differences in what we believed or how our ancestors lived. Now if you are not a cultural descendent, you are called out for misappropriation if you dress up in a different culture’s traditional clothing for Halloween. You get a permanent scarlet letter - and that letter is - R for racist.
Today multiculturalism , like many ideas and conditions rooted in America has become a weapon wielded by the enemies of liberty. Totalitarian technocrats and oligarchs are using it to conquer a free America. Our children and grandchildren are taught that anyone disagreeing with their ideas are weights holding them down. You are castigated if you disagree with DEI or ESG goals. Whole HR departments became woke with DIE goals.
As part of expanded definition of multiculturalism, DEI and its sister ESG are weapons of division aimed at defeating America. Diversity, Inclusion and Equity (DIE) along with Environmental, Social Governance (ESG) are the sacraments of the new woke class of arrogant billionaires who believe that they should decide how you should think and what you should do because they are smart. This is the World Economic Forum and they pushed the Great Reset button in 2020.
Bill Gates, Klaus Schwab, George Soros and their ilk believe that they should determine the world order. There will be two classes - the very rich who own things and the poor. The poor will be happy to own nothing and rent everything. Dissent will not be tolerated. Liberty will be replaced with group-think.
Some of you will remember how the crew of the Enterprise led by Captain James T. Kirk battled The Borg! The Borg civilization is based on a hive or group mind known as the Collective. You should pull up one of the episodes in YouTube. Each Borg drone is linked to the collective by a sophisticated subspace network that ensures each member is given constant supervision and guidance. The mental energy of the group consciousness can help an injured or damaged drone heal or regenerate damaged body parts or technology. The collective consciousness gives them the ability not only to "share the same thoughts", but also to adapt quickly to new tactics. Drones in the Collective are never seen speaking, but a collective "voice" is sometimes transmitted to ships.
Welcome to 2022. The Borg is what these billionaire bullies want America to become. I’m not going. You shouldn’t go either. Make America Great Again. Sounds right to me.
