It is time to end DEI and wokism as a backlash approaches

Editor's note: As has been demonstrated over and over again in America an efficient well organized beneficial economy cannot be managed and run by DEI hires. As the world begins fragmenting with respective countries like in Europe protecting their own financial and economic infrastructure the US seems to be fairly well off except for the destructive ideology of wokism seriously compromising this current status. If America does "collapse" a large contributing factor will be because of wokism. What many have correctly observed is a coming backlash on woke culture and these fires in Los Angeles set it off. It is incorrect to entirely blame woke on these fires n Los Angels but woke is one of many contributing symptoms. A slew of well known companies in the US have started rolling back DEI and that is a good sign.

Los Angeles Prioritized DEI Initiatives

January 14, 2025 | By Martin Armstrong

Los Angeles Fire Chief Kristin Crowley is yet another example of disastrous DEI policies. The city cheered Crowley as the first LGBTQ member to hold the post and it appears Crowley was focusing more on the woke agenda than important matters like refilling the water reservoirs.

"As the fire chief, if confirmed, I vow to take a strategic and balanced approach to ensure we meet the needs of the community we serve. We will focus our efforts on increasing our operational effectiveness, enhancing firefighter safety and well-being, and fully commit to fostering a diverse, equitable and inclusive culture within the LAFD," Crowley said upon her nomination.

The third goal on the LAFD's website includes DEI measures. A lot of time and money went into ensuring that the staff was diverse. Crowley, with an annual salary of $439,722, was one of many DEI hires. The LAFD hired its first Lesbian Assistant Chief and first black lesbian Equity Bureau Chief. The aim was to hire the most DIVERSE group of individuals over the most qualified.

Clearly, the wildfires do not care if the fire chief is WOKE.

 

Mayor Karen Bass cut $17.6 million in funding to the LA Fire Department. Los Angeles ensured they had money in the budget for the woke agenda. "The Midnight Stroll Transgender Café" received $100,000 in funding, the NAACP Awards received $100,000 in funding, and $170,000 was sent to the "Social Justice Art-Worker Investments." The Gay Men's Chorus of Los Angeles was awarded $14,000, the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Heritage Month programs was granted $13,000, and the Cultural Affairs Department was awarded nearly $9,000 to feature LGBTQ displays.

The response to the wildfires may just be a sign that the most diverse does not represent the most competent. How could a major city with a high risk of wildfires utterly avoid the water reserve issue? Failed leadership had led to a potentially preventable disaster.

Great. The "woke diaspora." Why not stay in Portugal then?

The Woke Diaspora and the Mirror of the Self

 

If you go into any Starbucks shop in Japan customers will be surprised how clean, safe, efficiently managed and run Starbucks are. It is astonishing comparing Starbucks shops in the US to shops in Japan. There are separate female and male restrooms and Japanese Starbucks patrons respect this and are very polite when using the restrooms. Japanese do not come in off the streets to use the restrooms like what was being experienced in the US. Starbucks shops in Japan serve various types of coffee served by very polite always smiling young staff who go the extra mile to make sure their service is the best. The woke agenda has destroyed many Starbucks shops in the US:
