You know who will cheer the death of DEI? The working class – spiked
So, is it RIP DEI? The boss class s favourite ideology certainly seems to be in trouble. Big business everywhere is rethinking its devotion to diversity, equity and inclusion . As part of his coming out as a pretty standard tech bro who bristles at woke and loves Joe Rogan, Meta boss Mark Zuckerberg has said DEI might be for the chopping block. He even instructed his minions to take the tampons out of the men s bathrooms at Meta HQ. Expecting people who menstruate to use the ladies loo? Guys, this is big.
The legacy media is noisily lamenting Zuck s bonfire of the diversity initiatives. Meta is eliminating DEI, weeps CNN. It quotes an internal Meta memo that basically says it s game over for equity and inclusion . To these people, Zuckerberg is an apostate. To renounce the religion of DEI, the divisive ideology that holds such fierce sway on college campuses and in HR departments, is to make oneself an enemy of the new elite. I reckon we re days away from a Vox piece calling Zuckerberg a fascist.
