Compulsory indoctrination is your thing though, with career & reputation destruction for any dissenters a perfectly acceptable trade-off. Thou must not only agree, thou must most vociferously & publicly agree, lest one offend the revolution by not exclaiming its glory with sufficient vigour.

Because you can't. The more radicalized you get, the more you try to 'other' people using the most vile personal traits you can imagine, regardless of their actual views.
Stop listening to the little devil on your shoulder.

Why not? DEI training is nothing but cult indoctrination and apparently you people have no problem at all with forcing others to attend those bullshit atrocity sessions. 
Judge = state
Company = not state.

Diversity and Inclusion Training is just the way Human Resources gets ahead of people discriminating against one another and getting the company sued.
Or its cult indoctrination if you are radicalised to deny people their constitutional rights.
I wonder if Sarbanes-Oxley is woke too.

Only real ass-holes would balk at taking training to help them become (hopefully) a bit less of an ass-hole.

More like DEI indoctrination sessions are purposely designed to turn people into more of a judgmental psychopathic monster than they were before they entered the classroom. Judging by the leftist contingent on CKA a lot of you didn't just pass with flying colours in being more of an asshole. Some of you graduated from the programs magna cum laude.
See the updated Richard Bilkszsto as a prime example of what some of you people are applauding. You watch someone get shoved headfirst into a fucking meatgrinder and all you can say is that sometimes sacrifices are necessary.

Yup. Constitutional rights do all those things, and more!. Only Lefties believe in Law and Order. Law and Order is wokeism for groomers. Insults are the best argument ever. Bla bla bla. Tired of hearing the nonesense out of you T.

Then ban me, as is par for the course for your side these days. No, not just these days. It's the way your side has always been. Then you can have your impermeable little echo chamber all to yourselves with nothing divergent getting inside to upset anyone.

Exactly.

I'm more amazed & outright amused at the arrogance of a tribe that starts a culture war based on nothing but fraudulent philosophies and theories of the same sort that got discredited as far back as the French Revolution having the gall to accuse someone else of seeking martyrdom. Like there's never ever been a revolutionary who wasn't more than willing to claim that they've suffered as much as Jesus did simply for the good of The People (tm). Modern progressivism is absolute Goatse of all half-baked ideas.

Go woke, pay through the fucking nose like you absolutely deserve when you do something really mean & stupid to prove your SJW cred. Starbucks has to pay over $27 million US to employee it fired for being white....
https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/17/business ... index.html
$1:
A New Jersey court ordered Starbucks to pay an additional $2.7 million to a former employee who successfully sued the company for wrongful termination, claiming she was fired for being White.
In June, a jury had ruled in favor of Shannon Philips, who worked at Starbucks as regional director over the Philadelphia area. It returned a verdict of $25.6 million.
In an order Wednesday, Judge Joel Slomsky said Starbucks has to make the additional payment for damages.
Starbucks did not have a comment about the order Wednesday, but said in June that it was disappointed in the decision. It has gone on to file post-trial motions contesting the June outcome.
Phillips, who worked for Starbucks for about 13 years and managed a region of stores in the area, was fired after the arrest of two Black men at a Philadelphia Starbucks in April 2018, an incident which sparked outrage.
The two men were asked to exit the coffee shop after sitting at a table without ordering anything. The men, who declined to leave because they were waiting for a business associate, were escorted out of the coffee shop in handcuffs after a store manager called the police. They later reached settlement agreements with Starbucks and the City of Philadelphia.
Phillips was not involved in the arrests, according to a lawsuit first filed in 2019.
In that suit, Phillips said that when Starbucks fired her following the arrest, it was discriminating against her because of her race.
Starbucks “took steps to punish White employees who had not been involved in the arrests, but who worked in and around the city of Philadelphia, in an effort to convince the community that it had properly responded to the incident,” according to the complaint.
The 2018 arrest was a PR crisis for the company. At the time, Starbucks took several steps to try to make amends and prevent a similar incident from happening again, including changing its policy to allow people to use Starbucks’ restrooms and spend time in stores, even if they haven’t made any purchases.
The coffee chain also closed about 8,000 company-owned stores for an afternoon for a mandatory anti-bias training for roughly 175,000 employees.
Phillips said that Starbucks had ordered her to place a White employee on administrative leave as part of these efforts, due to alleged discriminatory conduct which Phillips said she knew was inaccurate. After Phillips tried to defend the employee, who according to the lawsuit was not involved in the arrests, the company let her go, she said.
The reason for termination, according to the complaint, was that “‘the situation is not recoverable.’” The complaint argued that this was “a pre-text for race discrimination,” adding that Phillips’ “race was a motivating and/or determinative factor in [Starbucks’] discriminatory treatment.”
Starbucks, which denied the claims at the time, said in a 2021 court filing that after the incident, “senior leaders and members of Partner Resources all observed Ms. Phillips demonstrate a complete absence of leadership during this crisis.”
Phillips, the company argued, “appeared overwhelmed and lacked awareness of how critical the situation had become.” Phillips’ manager ultimately decided to dismiss her “because strong leadership was essential during that time,” according to the document.

Good. Couldn't have happened to a more deserving company operated by corporate cowards. More lawsuits. More boycotts. More disinvestment. All are absolutely necessary to halt this pernicious & outright evil ideology dead in it's fetid tracks.
