Solana's....."the kind of people who are attracted to bureaucratic power and institutions are naturally left-of-center" is an important truth....and not one to be brushed aside. Getting people with conservative instincts to WANT to be bureaucrats is always going to be a struggle. Bureaucracy's inexorable expansion is in fact arguably the core cancer in advanced societies. "Unherd columnist Peter Franklin reflecting on his own experience of working in two UK government departments comments: “How many of the civil servants that most closely serve this Conservative government are actually Leftwing? Well....I would say approximately all of them”. And it’s not just the UK. Research in the US context finds that “the political beliefs of the median federal government employee lie to the left not only of the median Republican, but also the median Democrat”." https://grahamcunningham.substack.com/p/carry-on-governing
Keep in mind that when Affirmative Action was first installed in the early 1970s it was declared to be temporary, only lasting 20 years. A compassionate social assist has turned into a metastisized social cancer.
I am working on grants to raise funds for our historical New England church. Just about every application requests a statement about how we are reaching our affirmative action goals. We are located deep in the countryside where there is only a single black family in the area. Will we be disqualified for our demographics? It’s just knee-jerk insanity.
Chris, I support you monthly. You are one of the few who put into action their beliefs. You are a breath of fresh air! A banner of hope and truth. Thank you for all you do!
DEI is one of many forms of postmodern neomarxism. It exists because western civilization is disintegrating at a deeper level, from techno-economic disruption, loss of high-social-trust and globalism. See Martin Van Creveld on “The Fate of the State”, 1990s.
What is needed is an anti-fragile “software upgrade” to the cultural operating system to restore high-social-trust institutions. Part of that will require purging things like DEI of psychological pathologies. Tabia Lee tried to do that, and got stabbed in the back.
The radical/extremist “left” always stabs “liberal” and centrist reformers in the back.
The NAACP is asking kids to reconsider going to Florida colleges because of the DEI laws. Strange that Asians and Hispanics are not on board with that. Nor even most native Africans.
This is an endless bizarre and distinctly racist business model.
I am so glad to read this Christopher... Again, you put the finer point on who the other side is and how they operate. I am also glad you see the the shift back to the right. That means we have been effectively chipping away at leftist fantasy and standing on more solid foundational concepts once again. That is the begining of restoration and an opportunity to grow freedom and truth as necessary components of being a functional productive human. WIN!
There's a reason why people of influence are shifting to the right. Many people are starting to catch on that America has been swindled. I explain how America got sold a bill of goods in my latest "2026" Substack titled "National Swindle" at https://2026.substack.com/p/national-swindle
Chris, you’re the conduit of the “wisdom of the ages” in thIs manner you successfully analyze, attack, and bring sanity back to an already unmitigated mess in the fabric of our society. So much of our cultural heritage has been savagely attacked with a propensity toward complete destruction of our history. The far left radical elements which have taken over so many of the laws for our protection have turned them to perversions ( releasing criminals in the United States and receiving and welcoming criminals at the southern border)!!! You are more than an incredible human being——-you are being gifted with second sight by the most Holy Righteous God of the Universe. Thank you!!!
DEI is inherently evil. Diversity is limited to skin color, the least meaningful of all aspects. Equity is a play on words to make one believe it's about equality. The important form of equality is equality of opportunity, which requires equality before the law. Equity is equality of outcome, regardless of input or quality. Inclusion is actually exclusion of law-abiding heterosexual males.
There are so many "professionals" on LinkedIn who have built their entire careers on DEI or ESG. These people do nothing, they are corporate commissars. Abolishing DEI and ESG will be a serious battle, as that "market" is now "worth" hundreds of billions of dollars I'd wager. What's the root cause of all this flush fakery? I suppose at the root of it all: fiat money—but that's another thesis.
‘Everyone does this on the Left, but they pretend that they’re not doing it. I’m doing it on the Right, and I’m explaining to people that I am doing it.” Great job! Honesty is the best policy.

You're very effective and a perceptive planner. Keep doing what you're doing.

To prove the left-progressive-woke are turning America into a freak show just remember that the bearded lady is there mascot.
