This. So absolutely and totally this.

"You cannot serve two masters," said Jesus. Evangelicals, in trying to have power for Christ, will inevitably choose power and ditch Christ.

Americans be like:

I honestly think it might be even stupider than that.

But don't you see? They're the victims of woke DEI cancel multicultural Marxism run amok!

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 1 points 1 hour ago

If i understood correctly, not being racist

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 5 points 7 hours ago

You didn't. It's not being racist, sexist, homophobic, ableist, xenophobic or an asshole.

[–] toomanypancakes@lemmy.world 8 points 11 hours ago

An apparently socially acceptable replacement for the n word.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion/Inclusivity. Also the new favorite bogeyman of the "anti-woke" fascists

[–] MothmanDelorian@lemmy.world 12 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I believe you mean dogwhistle for racists.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 11 hours ago

That too, yeah

Laws put in place to prevent discriminate hiring practices.

[–] Wxnzxn@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 hours ago

Others already gave you the correct answer, but even so, knowing full well what it is supposed to mean and in complete ignorance of how little sense that makes - my brain always wants to read it as "Does Enyone Ilse"

[–] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 2 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (1 children)

FYI is stupid but it isn't DEI it is DEIA, hateful conservatives didn't want to attack minorities AND disabled people at the same time because they are pathetic cowards, so they drop the A when they bash DEI.

I am sure they all decided this in their big Asshole Bullies meeting, it is blatantly obvious.

It also confuses people because it is another (incorrectly spelled) acronomyn and that is always helpful when you are robbing the shit out of people.

[–] keegomatic@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

That may be true, but at actual companies the term DEI is almost always used, not DEIA, for internal initiatives.

[–] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Well now that we are on the topic, let us consider why large corporations and organizations do that?

[–] keegomatic@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

The people who run these initiatives tend to be people who care, actually, in my experience. It’s DEI because DEI is the standard industry-wide term. Have you worked at a company that uses the DEIA initialism instead?

[–] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago) (1 children)

I am not questioning the motives of any one particular person, I am asking why the system is the way it is.

Where did the A go?

[–] keegomatic@lemmy.world 1 points 6 minutes ago

The motives matter because I am telling you that they would call it DEIA if it were considered better practice to do so, because the people in the company who take on these initiatives are the people who care enough to do it, and they try to get it right. Do you know people involved in such initiatives? Because I do. And they called it DEI when we used to talk about it. And they changed quite a bit about the initiative based on feedback from members of marginalized groups in the company, so they would have changed the way they referred to it (DEI => DEIA) as well. This is a common experience. The fact that it is called DEI by politicians is simply not a purposeful slight in this instance.

I'm gonna be real at first glance I thought Jesus was Luigi.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 18 points 10 hours ago

Someone do that please. That just works.

Always has been. How can Jesus be right if he’s poor?

[–] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 4 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (1 children)

We will know jesus has truly returned when he launches an IPO.

Well yeah the guy on the right is a Jewish immigrant saying to be nice

[–] leadore@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

Very good, though it might be even better if they put the Antichrist on the left. There's a lot in the bible that would actually fit well with the idea that Trump is that.

There should also be one like this with Hitler, but the figure on the right is the US Constitution and the caption would be magats.

[–] spujb@lemmy.cafe 9 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

+1 for the depth of field editing alone. is this OC?

[–] TehBamski@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

Not my OC. Found it on Imgur.

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

That sums it up. When will the neo-Nazis force all branches to march with the goose step.

[–] Blackout@fedia.io 15 points 16 hours ago

Trump - their poster child of good Christian leadership. A man that sticks innocent children in cages for trying to survive.

[–] HappySkullsplitter@lemmy.world 12 points 18 hours ago

He tells it like it is
