It can be a nightmare for conservatives to work in “progressive” workplaces. Consider what Joshua Diemart had to endure. Read on.
This from 100percentfedup.com.
In 2013, Diemart was hired by the city of Seattle as a program intake representative. The job entailed connecting city residents to public resources. But after nine years, he recently quit because of the persistent racial harassment and discrimination he experienced.
In November 2022, he filed a lawsuit against the city of Seattle, claiming that the racially hostile work environment was harming his mental and physical health.
Diemart was required to participate in antiracism training under the umbrella of the city government’s Racial and Social Justice Initiative (RSJI).
The premise behind this is that people should NOT be judged as individuals but as members of a collective race.
If you judge a person as an individual, you are engaging in white supremacy to oppress people of color.
Did you catch that connection? It was very psychical.
The first thing we must understand is that the left has hijacked the word ‘progressive.’ Progressive used to mean the following: advanced, improved, evolved, developed, educated.
Actually, leftist ideology, including their politics on racial and social justice, is REGRESSIVE.
In the case of Joshua Diemert, he stated that a supervisor berated him for refusing to step down and yield his job to a POC (person of color).
The frequent anti-racism training he was required to participate in includes such items as “Check Your Privilege Bingo”:

Diemart was also required to frequently stand up in front of everyone and rank himself within a racist continuum.
If you refused to participate, your behavior was labeled as “white silence,” a serious “no-no”!!
If you disagreed, you were told you had cognitive dissonance.
If you became defensive, it was evidence you were being a racist white supremacist.
Color blindness is not a good thing, according to regressive leftist ideology.
In fact, they label color blindness as the ‘new racism.’ Because, in their view, it justifies arguing against affirmative action or any race-based remedy to historical injustices.
Again, the connection is psychical.
Further, color blindness is “centering whiteness.”
Therefore, based on this ‘stretch of the brain cells,’ bogus thinking, Diemart noted that one colleague rejected a qualified white candidate from a public assistance program because they had “white privilege.”
Diemart reported it to a supervisor, but nothing was done about it.
When the Covid-19 pandemic struck, supervisors openly discussed the necessary layoffs that would be required—starting with white employees, using RSJI (Racial and Social Justice Initiative) as a pretext.
From Joshua Diemert: Training sessions felt more like struggle sessions.
At one workshop, ‘Undoing Institutional Racism,’ white people were described as devils and cannibals with racism in their DNA, according to Diemert. Another session, ‘Internalized Racial Superiority,’ was targeted specifically at white and white-identifying employees.
Trump supporters and people who cherish traditional American values are viewed as examples of this “new racism.”
The assertion is that they are using these values to disguise their inherent prejudices and bigotry.
In other words:
[C]onservatives are just a bunch of ‘cranky old white people’ who adhere to traditional principles and values as a sham to hide their racism.
The Left has performed a real snow job on the American public with this nonsense. Even conservative intellectuals are jumping on this bandwagon with the charge that the Republican party is doomed because conservative principles have been corrupted by “white nationalism.”
They suggest a new conservatism that champions limited government but ‘more diversity’ as well.
What these leftists and conservative intellectuals (“so-called”) don’t seem to get is the issue is not racism but the inherent unfairness of a race-conscious agenda.
As one writer stated:
At the deepest level, racial politics owes its shape not to beliefs or stereotypes distinctively about blacks but to the broader set of convictions about fairness and fair play that make up the American Creed.
Conservatives have become the scapegoats. As the liberal/leftist agenda continues to train wreck, they will play the blame/shame game with conservatives as their targets.
Leftists cause the mess, point the finger toward conservatives, and rant and rave when decent, principled law-abiding, religious-oriented citizens try to clean up their mess.
And how are We the People supposed to fight this institutionalized insanity?
Conservatives MUST stop fighting amongst themselves, realize the social psychology strategies that have been used against them, and unite in force to stop the attacks.
Joshua Diemart is on the right path. Bring lawsuits.
In addition, swarm the offices of legislators. Inundate news media with pushback comments. Create focus groups in communities all over America to educate the public on what is happening. Slam corporate boardrooms and shareholder proposals with demands for recognition of conservative principles. Fight to get conservative clubs on college campuses. Show up at K-12 school board meetings and use the 3-minute allotment for public speaking to actually speak!!
“The left despises “white silence.” SPEAK UP! They will wish we kept silent!”
“Passivity is a tacit endorsement of evil we are too afraid to oppose actively.”
