"Join forces. Succeed together." Liberty Mutual's webinar to require diversity, equity, and inclusion

Sadly, Liberty Mutual has joined the woke crowd. The below email extends an invitation to their online seminar (aka, indoctrination session) to explain why diversity, equity, and inclusion are good things for business. 

They first supply a veiled threat:

To succeed in this global environment, our workforce, suppliers, and business partners must reflect the communities in which we live and work.

"Must" is an imperative, based on a value system. A moral stance. That is, Liberty Mutual's business partners must agree with its morality. We wonder, if one's morality is different will Liberty Mutual require proof of acceptable diversity? Would Liberty Mutual sanction partners or dissolve the business partnership? Would they impose quotas?

Next, Liberty Mutual invokes an online job placement and networking service, Glassdoor. A Glassdoor survey says that more than 3 in 4 employees and job seekers said a diverse workforce is an important factor when deciding where to work. We're pretty sure that Glassdoor polled their own customers, which of course is a self-selected sample. 

What kind of people might be in that sample? Most likely, people who like Glassdoor's value system: 

Through the products we make and the communities we create, we’re breaking down barriers that lead to discrimination, pay gaps, and toxic work environments.

Further reading tells us that Glassdoor makes judgments about what customers can post, using criteria similar to social media companies like Facebook. We would conclude, then, that a Glassdoor survey contains inherent bias by surveying those who have opinions similar to Glassdoor. Thus the high percentage or people who supplied the approved answer.  

Lastly, we note the irony that Glassdoor has seven directors, 6 men and 1 woman. 

Liberty Mutual then proceeds to lie to us. They promise that diversity, equity, and inclusion will help reach new customers, which they define in a footnote as minorities, women, veterans, LGBTQ, the disabled, and other disadvantaged. They think this is a recipe for success. 

One might think an insurance company's job is to sell as much insurance as possible. But the malignancy of wokeness means that a business will gradually lose it's ability to perform its primary function. It becomes less and less able to sell its product as diversity, equity, and inclusion become the overriding focus. 

But this does not happen because of diverseness, equity, or their inclusiveness. A business can be as diverse as it wants. Rather, the eventual failure as a business will be because of the continual requirement to kowtow to a political agenda which silences dissent, encourages people to exercise power over others by feigning offense at the supposed transgressions of the unwoke, and requires absolute conformity. 

Why not stay on the sidelines of the "culture wars?" Liberty Mutual learned nothing from Bud Lite. Offending a large portion of one's customer base is not a sound business model. 

The ultimate goal of the woke crowd is the dismantling of the system. The new proletariat is the woke crowd, perpetually offended and tyrannical, and they're intent is to replace capitalism with Marxism. That's The Agenda. Thus diversity, equity, and inclusion are simply tools. Which means these businesses are actually participating in something that deliberately intends to effect their eventual demise.

We should note that we are happy to include anyone and everyone into the corporate world, based on competence alone, regardless of their backgrounds, genetics, or preferences. The difference is, we don't have quotas, we don't make judgments based on superficial or irrelevant factors, we don't silence dissent, and we don't require people to adopt a political agenda or violate their own morals. 

We think a business should simply sell its product.
