> The points "Viewpoint Diversity in Admissions and Hiring" and "Discontinuation of DEI" seem inconsistent. Enforcing "viewpoint diversity" is a DEI practice in all but name. Actually, it is even in the name. Also with the merit-based stuff, of course. What if people of merit skew towards certain viewpoints? Then hiring/admissions won't be merit based after all?

"Diversity" in the intersectional jargon means "less white 'cis' straight people", it has absolutely nothing to do with diversity of opinion, since it's the very implementation of intersectionality, a far left orthodoxy.

What is remarkable is that you don't even realize this, which is a perfect example of double speak. Same for "safe space", people want to be physically safe right? No, it just means spaces void of anything but intersectional orthodoxy.

I usually try to stay clear of 'culture war' issues on HN, however, I don't like being flagged for telling things they really are. These groups like to present a public front, but the moment they are between themselves the real stuff is going down. All that newspeak exists only for plausible deniability purposes and needs to be exposed.
