Perhaps no other aspect of the dissolution of the United States saddens me as much as knowing that the idea of honest and open relations between most citizens of this country is no longer a possibility.\u00a0 Even as recently as the 1980s it seemed reasonable to believe that the great majority of Americans agreed on what was right and wrong and how we all should live.\u00a0 I doubt the idea could even be expressed in a form that a majority of people would agree on.\u00a0 In an earlier post I stated that we are demonstrably more than one nation occupying one state.\u00a0 In reality it is even more complex than that.\u00a0 There is no consensus even on either side of the left\/right divide.\u00a0 We are splintered into a multitude of identity groups, ideologies and political interest groups.\u00a0 And just because two groups have a common enemy does not necessarily mean they can cooperate.\u00a0 So, a calculus has to be applied when evaluating what you tell someone on the outside.<\/p>\n
Now, I\u2019m making this up as I go along so realize that I am dealing in generalizations and attempting to use simple logic to find some kind of framework for navigating a hazardous world.\u00a0 Begin with the worst case first.\u00a0 How do you deal with those that you perceive to be the most ideologically abhorrent and most dangerous to you.\u00a0 An important example would be someone above you in the hierarchy of the company you work for who openly espouses a social justice viewpoint.\u00a0 Obviously, you cannot openly express your true views on almost any subject.\u00a0 It is even unsure whether you can merely refrain from saying anything contradictory of this person\u2019s dogma.\u00a0 Depending on circumstances, the only realistic way to continue on at the company would be to fain agreement on many of these ideological topics.\u00a0 This is one of the most horrible realities of the modern leftist corporations.\u00a0 They have begun mixing in progressive loyalty tests with their corporate culture.\u00a0 The most blatant is the endless repeating of the \u201cDiversity is our strength,\u201d mantra.\u00a0 Another is the mainstreaming of the LGBTQ rainbow imagery.\u00a0 Many of the young people are forced to festoon their cubicles with this newspeak sloganism and agitprop.\u00a0 I fully expect to eventually see a magnet on a filing cabinet that declares \u201cI Love Big Brother\u201d (or actually, I \u00a0\u00a0\u2665\u00a0\u00a0Big Brother!)<\/p>\n
If you want to advance in the hierarchy of one of these SJW converged corporations you will assuredly have to burn some incense to Caesar.\u00a0 And even if you do it will be hard to compete with actual SJWs in the moonbattery department.\u00a0 You will have to depend on actual talent and initiative and that is a poor substitute for ideological fervor.\u00a0 Maybe the better idea is finding a company that isn\u2019t run by the insane.\u00a0 Or even starting a company of your own.<\/p>\n
So there\u2019s the worst case, selling your immortal soul for a career.\u00a0 That was easy!\u00a0 Next time we\u2019ll talk about how you talk to a prospective wife.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
