Intersectionality Comes To The Petrochemical Plant

Woke capitalists inadvertently teaching conservative employees that Big Business Is Our Enemy

A reader in south Louisiana passes along this cartoon, which appeared in a newsletter a major petrochemical plant [I’m not naming it yet, for legal reasons] sent to employees at its local plant, in an effort to incentivize them to attend diversity, equity, and inclusion training. My source sent the screenshot from an employee newsletter, but I found a high-resolution version of the same cartoon online, and have pasted it in below. It’s just incredible that woke junk has made it into the workplace at this level of specificity. What does “intersectionality” have to do with whether or not you can get the job done at the Louisiana plant? Why do people at this plant need to be forced by their woke capitalist bosses to think about intersectionality and oppression? This is woke capitalist social engineering. Notice in particular the way this cute little cartoon characterizes Christians:

(The cartoon is by Miriam Dobson, and can be viewed here.)

I hope to live long enough for the greater mass of conservative voters to realize that Big Business Is Our Enemy. It is corporate America that’s doing some of the heaviest and most effective labor of radicalizing American society along woke lines. I guarantee you that there are a lot of workers at that Louisiana plant who are being made to hate their employer because of this. I know I would. This is the whole Live Not By Lies thing: under soft totalitarianism, every aspect of life is made political. Keep in mind that this kind of totalitarian indoctrination — training people within a workplace to unify around resistance to white Christian heterosexual “oppressors” — is happening not in a totalitarian state, but in a liberal democracy, by a major corporation.

One thing to consider here is that “intersectionality,” a concept that was once confined to semi-fringey academic circles, is now being forced onto employees at a Louisiana petrochemical plant. Think about how thoroughly wokeness has penetrated American life and institutions. I might be wrong, but I cannot believe that most Americans like this garbage. What I cannot understand is why there have been no national-level Republicans taking up the fight against it. You think all those people at the Louisiana petrochemical plant — which is owned by a multinational corporation — enjoy being propagandized and indoctrinated like this? My source said that white managers at this facility were instructed to apologize to their non-white employees for their “white privilege.” I’m trying to nail that down. If so, I’m going to name the facility, and speak to employment lawyers to find out if this is even legal.

If this is happening in your workplace, take screenshots of the material and send it to me at rod — at — amconmag — dot — com. If I can authenticate it, I’ll publicize it, without using your name. I don’t think these corporations can be shamed at this point, but this poison will only be stopped by lawsuits.
