The Left are like hyenas — they eventually will turn upon and consume their own.

The paradoxes inherent to their world view are an ideological dead end.

The only question is how much death and destruction will ultimately result from their failed ideological pursuits.

Victor Davis Hanson The DEI Ruse Is Imploding….

….Has there ever been a sane nation in the world that preferred “diversity” to “unity”? The former Yugoslavia was certainly “diverse,” and it finally stressed its diversity to the point of unending death and destruction. Ditto Rwanda. So what exactly was the advantage of ditching the melting pot for the tribalist salad bowl?

DEI’s idea of “equity” shares the Marxist boilerplate of just two classes at war with each other. The middle class does not or should not exist as the proletariat of the many battle the few property-holding and despised bourgeoisie. But DEI takes that old, tired binary of oppressed/oppressor and victimized/victimizer and now substitutes race for class. Why?

Marxist binaries never worked in the United States. America’s dynamic economy, upward mobility, and class fluidity ensured too often that yesterday’s supposedly doomed proletarian peasant will be tomorrow’s bourgeois owner of a car wash and landscaping business. But substitute immutable race as the barometer of oppression and then you have a supposedly permanent victimized class, one freed from the problem of an absence of class oppression.

Presto, suddenly, any non-white, non-male, or non-heterosexual is by fiat a victim—regardless of running their $40 million “Antiracist” center, or raking in $100 million from capitalist corporations, or holding a Princeton full-professorship, or Harvard presidency. By virtue of their supposed non-white status, Kamala Harris, Barack Obama, LeBron James, and Oprah Winfrey will never have privilege, even though they have more of it —vmoney, comfort, influence, and followings — than almost anyone in America.

In the end, DEI will implode because of its many contradictions: it is racist to the core; it destroys meritocracy; and it is utterly incoherent in adjudicating who and who not deserve racial preferences….
