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.

    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.

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

    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.

          I somehow see that implied by being inclusive. You can only be really inclusive, if you value diversity and equity, or?

          But you’re right, that’s just my personal view and not clear in my comment …

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

      20 million. There were 6 million Jewish victims and 14 million others. If the Nazis had won the war, generalplan Ost mandated another 50 million people to die.

      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?

        USA is pushing certain countries away, and they will naturally form new relationships.

        They are pushing away the overwhelming majority of countries. The only countries they are doing nice with appears to be Russia, Israel (nothing changed there) and El Salvador, whom they are selling slaves to. The El Salvadoran dictator is such a worthless dipshit that his crack down on crime probably will end up causing more problems long term than now (and no, it would not have worked in Colombia or Mexico due to the way how El Salvadoran gangs operate).

        With every other country they are pissing everyone off. The Chinese, the New Zealanders, Australians, all of Europe (except for Russia) and their racism probably won’t endear them much longer to South Asian nations save for the ultra racist Hindu nationalists.

    I think the reasons behind these are:

    9/11 - Muslim-related. Something Trump has targeted before, huh, imagine that. But 9/11 wasn’t all about muslims, it was just started by a terrorist group of muslims.

    Holocaust - Jewish-related. Something suggests Trump has a conflicted interest on, since he helps Israel commit more genocide, so this one is a confused subject. Is he implying that he secretly hates Jews? Or placating to the haters in his voterbase that are anti-semitic?

      The Zionists wanted to ally themselves with Naz Germany against the British. They didn’t care that Hitler was doing the holocaust, they considered the Jews who died there to be weak. It did put a damper on their plans since they wanted Israel to be mainly Ashkenazi Jewish. But the holocaust reduced their numbers and so after destabilizing the Middle East and causing an exodus of Arab Jews they were forced to settle for browner Jews. All of the really important members of government in Israel are European Jews.

      I strongly suspect that it’s not because it was a genocide against jews, but rather that it was perpetrated by Nazis, and he doesn’t want to paint them in a bad light.

        A very large proportion of holocaust survivors in Israel live in poverty and they are treated worse than stray animals…
