Because hatred is cheaper to them and simplifies business operations.

  1. Since both permanent war and heroism are difficult games to play, the Ur-Fascist transfers his will to power to sexual matters. This is the origin of machismo (which implies both disdain for women and intolerance and condemnation of nonstandard sexual habits, from chastity to homosexuality). Since even sex is a difficult game to play, the Ur-Fascist hero tends to play with weapons — doing so becomes an ersatz phallic exercise.

    They don’t mean “end programs that provide DEI training,” either. They mean “fire everyone who’s not a straight white cis-gender man”

      Military intelligence will suffer for this.

      First they don’t want the potheads working for the NSA, and now they don’t want transgender people working for contractors?

      Who the hell is going to do all the programming?

    Trump is correct. It has not been scientifically proven that different ethnic groups and gender are equal. Consequently, equal representation should not be expected in the workplace.

      Your proof is then opinion of an unqualified ignorant pedophile con man born with a silver spoon into the parasite class? Your argument doesn’t hold water Obama makes your boy look like a turd. Please do us all a favor and take a sociology course, a women’s history or black history course, a political science course, a philosophy course and an ethnic studies course because you’re ignorant. At the very least please read Howard Zinn’s People’s History of the United States so you can at least see your brainwashing recognize what you do know.
