"Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison became interested in this topic because they wanted to understand a puzzling contradiction. On one hand, many people express support for diversity and inclusion. On the other hand, discrimination and exclusion remain persistent problems in society. The researchers wondered if part of the problem might stem from inaccurate perceptions of what others believe."

It's sad that people have to put a finger to see which way the wind is blowing before being decent to each other.

PsyPost · Study: Americans vastly underestimate public support for diversity and inclusionBy Eric W. Dolan

Watching Honor Among Lovers (1931). Boss is always hitting on his highly competent, but also young and attractive, secretary. But when she tells him she just got married he fired her on the spot.

This is the sort of world the grand old fascist party wants to go back to.

“The U.S. right’s culture war issues are far from applicable in many of these places, where ‘hard work’ and ‘merit’ cannot combat systemic poverty and hunger imposed by global powers — even setting aside that embracing tenets of diversity and uplifting oppressed populations is the very purpose of many UN programs.” 🤬

Palestinian school children attend a lesson at a temporary educational centre under the supervision and funding of UNICEF in Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip, on September 19, 2024, amid the ongoing war between Israel and the Palestinian Hamas movement.
Truthout · Trump Officials Demand End to “DEI” Within UN Women’s and Children’s ProgramsOfficials cited Trump’s anti-DEI and anti-trans executive orders, which do not hold authority outside of the US.

One of the fatal flaws of the #US #Constitution (aside from the slavery, indentured, classism, sexism, etc) is that it’s entirely dependent on the goodwill and morals of the #President. I.e. There is no practical way of removing or even disciplining a corrupt president and no practical way of enforcing judicial decisions upon them.

The US is essentially a semi-representative oligarchy with an elected monarch. An informed reading of the #Federalist #Papers shows that was the intent. Some of the founders, as the recently idolized #Hamilton , advocated for an elected, but lifelong presidency.

I often advocated for constitutional revisions and a modified parliamentary system to make the presidency more accountable. However, given the tendencies and gullibility of the US electorate, any constitutional changes would likely be even worse.
