Spirit Aerosystems is the company that provided Boeing the door plugs, one of which failed. Boeing prioritizes DEI and ESG in its supply chain (bc of ESG requirements), and Spirit Aero delivers. DEI and Sustainability are at the top of their careers page.

"Diversity and inclusiveness will ensure that Spirit continues to remain at the forefront of our industry."

Maybe work on the door plugs, tho.

Environment, People, Governance.

Environment, Social, Governance (ESG).

It's their top priority. Too bad about those door plugs, tho.

When we talk about the pendulum swinging, you probably imagine it swinging in a very simple back and forth: it goes Left, it comes back Right to roughly the same extreme. This is not how the dialectical operative understands or uses the pendulum swing. The gif below is closer.
The pendulum might be moving back and forth in its own reference frame, but the dialectical operators (Hermeticists) are moving the reference frame so that it's going somewhere. The Left-Right swing allows it to avoid resistance that inevitably mounts against either extreme.
This tactic is based off the Hermetic principles of transformation, so it's something they know they're doing with specific intention. The idea is to move history toward its intended end (Platonic perfection) not in a straight line but in a spiral (or by sinusoid, snakey).

Let's have a close look at Boeing and DEI!

Boeing's corporate filings with the SEC reveal that in beginning 2022, the annual bonus plan to reward CEO and executives for increasing profit for shareholders and prioritizing safety was changed to reward them if they hit DEI targets. Image
Up to 40% of the executives' potential pay is in that "annual incentive pay program" which is tied to hitting DEI targets. For those just catching on, DEI doesn't have anything to do with aircraft manufacturing or safety. Image
Boeing didn't just mandate DEI at Boeing. Italso prioritized ESG and DEI in their supply chain, as with ESG agendas, which suggests they did not look for the best suppliers on quality and safety on objective metrics, but focused on meeting their ESG goals instead. Image

I generally agree, tho it's a matter of timing. We're on offense against DEI now, and it's taking incredible flak. We need to take this issue extremely seriously before the catastrophe arrives because if we don't, it will. There's some chance it will completely destroy DEI, tho.
The issue of DEI plane crashes, which are inevitable on the course we're on now, should be a powerful motivator for us to call the DEI apparatus even more deeply into question and to break its power over industry. That requires unmasking the incentive structures that installed it
The pro-DEI is explicit that it wants to completely end commercial flying "for the climate." In other words, the people pushing DEI onto the airline and air-traffic industries benefit from the inevitable catastrophe their mandates will cause. They have no incentive to stop.

One way to thread the needle as we start coming out of the Woke threat (not yet!) is to narrowly and specifically define "militant ideologies," including Communism and Fascism, and to seek a way to exclude them from civic power in free nations.
This would have to be done thoughtfully and will easily be co-opted, so it might not be practical in law or jurisprudence, but it is important for us at least to academically and culturally understand the idea so people can recognize what they are and reject their bids for power.
There is likely space within 1A jurisprudence (Establishment Clause) to determine that militant ideologies cannot be incorporated into the state while denying them the religious protections of the Free-Exercise Clause since they wouldn't necessarily be identified as "religions."

The plagiarism scandal we're learning about in academia asks hard questions about the integrity of the academic world. We also need to ask hard questions about the quality. We need to look closely at how poor and bogus the DEI-related literature is.
newdiscourses.com/grievance-stud…
The quality problem in academia, particularly in DEI-adjacent fields is astonishingly bad, and it demands a deep look. Reading papers, looking beneath the hood of what that corrupt system will validate.
In 2018, @peterboghossian, @HPluckrose, and I, with @MikeNayna, called attention to the quality crisis validating our academic leaders. What they accept as quality scholarship is almost unbelievable. It has to be seen to be believed.

Elon isn't wrong about the possibility of the border being a program to import future Democrat voters, but that's somewhat complicated. The main things they're importing with the border disaster, though, are a crisis and, crucially, class struggle, which America mostly lacks.
Marxism is a manipulative ideology built on class struggle. If you don't have a permanent underclass, though, you lack a key ingredient to spark the chaos needed for Marxist takeover. You'll have to import one, then activate it. Then the violence can begin. That's the border.
What's going to make it work are (1) a Critical Theory of Identity and (2) reaching crisis proportions before anything really happens with it. The crisis part is simple: it forces a reflexive environment and an urgent crap solution, which might get them their Democrat voters.
