Well written. You're not alone. There seems to be no good platform upon which to fight back. Trumpism has taken the other side of this issue, but that side is poisoned by fascism, (real) racism, ignorance and the malignance that is Trump himself. The left has potent messaging and branding power - what are you going to say, that you're against diversity? The phrase "men's rights advocate" has been coopted to mean antifeminist. The actual words men and whites can use to fight for our rights are literally taken from us, even as they redefine the conflict as being about gender and race. It's an extraordinary level of dehumanization, and I fear that many moderates are either unaware or if they are aware, rationally afraid to speak out.

Our laws, public and private, should make no reference to gender, race, religion, or sexual preference. Hiring should be done on merit. And this is now the "racist" position!

The DEI narrative is angry, retributive. It says some groups have victimized others (especially whites enslaving blacks and men controlling women) for so long that mere equality under the law isn't enough. This seems taken as axiomatic, obvious, and just. But this is the outcome of a court case against white people, held in someone else's mind and the defendants had no say. This court's ruling is tantamount to a religious belief, because it cannot be challenged or appealed on any basis, and in fact all challenges are treated as further evidence in favor of the ruling, and evidence that the challenger deserves extra punishment, up to and including ostracism.

This trend must be fought by anyone who cares about justice and liberty. Musk called it a "woke mind virus" and he's right, and we need some antivirals, stat.
