Sad for people who are thrown under the bus and those of us who care but also... keep in mind that what it takes to "thrive" today is NOT what it required a generation ago not only in corporate America, but the dating game. Imagine how much we'd thrive if we as a group could do more than chase after scraps and fix it. I'm "sad" that the USA is an ugly, self-hating corporate shantytown. I remember back during the Reagan era sense of optimism (although that was misplaced) and of course before then, in the 1950's, even with the fear of nuclear annihilation, an excitement about the future (from what I read). I'm reading a fun book "The ministry of truth" which is a biography of Orwell where Orwell says: "Life may have been harder and more unfair 50 years ago, but at least people didn't live in absolute terror of the future." What makes us different than other animals at the planet wasn't merely our ability to adapt, but to COMPREHEND what was going on and make the world adapt around us: To build, farm, harvest, and learn.

There are four actionable choices available to most people right now. There's the choice of doing absolutely nothing, 'whatever will be, will be'. Submitting to the enemy and dying for their diabolical cause, either due to manipulation or as a consequence of recruitment. Delude yourself into believing that you can 'Go Galt', as if the machine won't eventually send killers to tie your loose-end off later and destroy your surviving household. Lastly, invest into personal, vehicle, and home surveillance tools to help you publicly identify and burn the domestic surveillance operatives around you on social media as you prepare yourself to eventually receive an enemy who sought to drag you into a conflict you had no interest in.

Until more people make up their minds and choose a path, nothing will change. The problem is that a lot of people are either too spiritually demoralized or spiritually lobotomized to care one way or the other and it's that very apathy which emboldens the enemy.

Despite the cries of bugmen and hikikomori, a White or Asian man can thrive in Woke Corporate America (if one chooses).

I'm mulling a larger essay, but the key isn't to put pronouns in your bio or scold colleagues for not recycling. Don't laugh I've seen both this week.

The key is realizing that companies are targeting X percent of the workforce to be female/gay/black/blah blah.

Today, that leaves approximately 50 to 70 percent of the staff to be White or Asian men.

The key is outworking and outsmarting the bottom quartile of those guys as you are already in the ecosystem.

Rules of Power, Sun Tzu and other books can help there.

Oh sure, you may get passed over for a job title now and again. But chances are you will be doing the job of some dogshit diversity hire and report to that person. But that just makes you safer if you play your cards right.
