Summary

The Pentagon has removed web pages about Holocaust remembrance and other historical topics to comply with Trump’s order to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) content from federal government sites.

Taken-down pages include stories of Holocaust survivors and religious tolerance, as well as content about 9/11 and veterans’ issues.

The Defense Department used automated tools to identify and delete up to 24,000 pages.

Critics argue this erases significant historical narratives, while the Pentagon defends the move as necessary to end “Woke cultural Marxism.”

    Hey everyone, just a friendly reminder that self propelled compost sludge, Pete Hagseth, who was approved by the Republican Congress to serve as head of the DOJ, has multiple white Supremacists tattoos.

    I didn’t know the Holocaust was diverse, equitable and inclusive! Quite the opposite actually…

    Apparently, history is too woke. Just assume white guys did everything going back to Moses (if you believe in that).

    Some examples of white men throughout history:

    • Gengis Khan
    • Jesus (but not Confucius or Buddha—they are some woke shit)
    • Cleopatra - little known fact: she was actually three white man in a trenchcoat
    • Shaka Zulu - famous for conquering South Africa for white people who ruled benevolently until Nelson Mandela fucked up a good thing
    • Mahatma Gandhi - famous for inventing Trump-style diplomacy in the original Civilization video game. Probably not an actual historical figure.

    Well… every day is a school day! Today I learned that acknowledging the systematic murder of over 6000000 people is woke.

    Could somebody explain to me precisely how either of those things have anything to do with “DEI”? Or what Nazism and Islamism have to do with Marxism for that matter?

      Nothing at all. DEI is just being used like a catch-all media buzzword to justify racism. To Trump, DEI means “Anything at all about anyone who isn’t a cis white male that I don’t like”.

      All life has to do with DEI. The real heart of DEI was inclusion. The whole USA was living one of the most inclusive lifestyles in the world.

      It is exactly what Trump said he would do, America First.

      I really wasn’t expecting, that he has a very narrow and twisted view of who he sees as American.

      Musk, the most dangerous immigrant of all time, gets the keys to the country.

      At the same time immigrants, that earned their American citizenship by hard work, part of a community, are being treated like pigs and deported.

      With DEI officially disappearing, we will see all the good things we build in the last decades also disappear.

      It’s more likely he’ll start a war with Canada and Mexico and will then spark a civil war. I want off this timeline

        The US starting a war with Canada and Mexico would very much result in a world war. There is no way the rest of the world would sit idle if that happened.

        He’d start a war with Canada. México? Either our goverment will roll over or be forced to surrender, we don’t really stand a chance (nor is my country’s goverment doing anything to strengthen itself)

      I think I’m already seeing signs of pre-war polarization.

      USA is pushing certain countries away, and they will naturally form new relationships. Maybe in the future we’ll have USA and Russia as one of the rogue states in the axis of oppression. EU will obviously see themselves as one of the good guys who bring democracy and peace to the world.

      However, having a civil war in USA looks highly likely as well. Have you considered pulling off a coup d’état yet?
