“Inclusivity is more than a social cause, it’s a business opportunity. It’s time to maximize your business growth.”
Let me get this out of the way, because it seems more than a few people still need to hear this.
CORPORATIONS DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOU!
“Diversity and inclusion ”(D&I) comprise a new business mantra. Programs and language based on the normalization of body dissociation are being corporately cultivated around the world. The programs being instituted appeal to our emotions, to entice us to believe that companies care about people and just want to create one big happy, diverse work-family, which includes marginalized sectors of society - most notably, those who imagine they have a sex (gender is a euphemism) that is not male or female. The overlooked are finally being given a place at the table!
Or are they?
The new, new liberal left in America, the left that has emerged out of a traditional new left, which cared about the working class, blacks, and women’s rights, who yearned for a more equal and just social order, is unrecognizable to many of us who’ve long been of the traditional left. That left, just a decade ago, sparked a potentially revolutionary movement on Wall street, calling out the financial industry and the monopolies ruining our lives and our planet. Emerging out of the carcass of that potentially revolutionary movement is a left that has recently climbed into bed with those same big banks. Snuggled up in bed with them, fluffing their pillows, are Big Pharma and Big Tech. The left is running around screaming at protests, getting comprehensive media coverage, voices in our universities and institutions, and crying that people claiming their sex is not male or female, need human rights. These manufactured sexes are being supported by, promoted, and advertised by Big Pharma, Big Tech, and Big Banking. This new, unrecognizable left sees no irony at all in their behavior.
These purported new sexes, ostensibly requiring special human rights, depend on a narrative that sexual dimorphism isn’t real, that it exists on a spectrum of sexes. This is the gender industry, and with projected profit margins reaching into the billions by 2026 for surgeries on healthy sex organs alone and the amount of advertising curated to sell it, it is going to be very profitable indeed.
Corporatism (sometimes referred to as "cronyism") is not capitalism. Corporatism/cronyism uses the force and power of government to gain an market advantage over a competitor. Overburdensome regulations, many of which are written by big corporations and handed over like completed homework assignments to lazy and/or incompetent politicians, benefit the "big" corporations, driving the "little guy" out of business. Because of their size and scale, they can absorb the cost of compliance with these regulations and pass those costs along to the consumer.
