Conservatives have for some time taken to\u00a0quoting<\/a>\u00a0Saul Alinsky that would-be reformers should \u201c[m]ake the enemy live up to its own book of rules.\u201d Often the quote is deployed in tandem with frustration at how hard it is to do that when the hard left\u00a0holds\u00a0so many of the levers of power and expression, and has\u00a0abandoned<\/a>\u00a0objectivity and fair play.<\/p>\n

\"Scott<\/a>

Scott Shepard<\/p><\/div>\n

I suspect that Alinsky\u2019s response to that, so long as he didn\u2019t know that his addressee was\u00a0not a leftist, would be to\u00a0buck yourself us and get to work.\u00a0The difficulty \u2013 and the skill \u2013 lies in trying to force the enemy to live up to its own rules when it\u2019s trying very hard not to.<\/p>\n

With that in mind, here\u2019s a plan to defeat equity-based discrimination by playing by the rules of the discriminators:<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s all declare ourselves \u2013 preferably on the same day to underscore the point, but really whenever \u2013 non-binary, queer and other-raced. Their grand plans for systemic discrimination won\u2019t be able to survive it.<\/p>\n

It has been well-discussed, in\u00a0these<\/a>\u00a0pages and\u00a0elsewhere<\/a>, that the push for equity is an explicit push for discrimination on the basis of race, sex and orientation until uniformities of outcome are reached (except for the global overclass) without regard to constitutional or legal considerations. As thoroughly discussed have been the trends of proliferating addenda to being gay and the ever-expanding list of ersatz sexes. The people who push equity-based discrimination have also fully embraced these self-generated and readily adjustable identification categories to which due\u00a0attention<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0deference<\/a>\u00a0must always be paid, regardless of the\u00a0consequences<\/a>\u00a0for others.<\/p>\n

These doctrines and demands are so interlocked in the woke worldview that when companies or organizations push for equity-based discrimination, they find themselves obliged to discriminate according to how people identify themselves rather than by their objective characteristics, far less their individual qualifications and merit. This is where the opportunity arises to play by Alinsky\u2019s rule.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s pick a day \u2013 I like April 2nd<\/sup>, to underscore that this is a direct response to the machinations of fools \u2013 to be National Declaration Day. On that day, we all do whatever paperwork is necessary with our employers to label ourselves non-binary, queer and of \u201cother\u201d race. Then we can largely forget about it and go about our business, but we will have sabotaged their attempts at equity-based discrimination of either the overt or covert kind.<\/p>\n

Note that none of these declarations would in any way be false \u2013 for anyone. Non-binary, as a sex, doesn\u2019t mean anything at all, so it can\u2019t be false to claim to be it. In the classic formulation, something like, \u201cI can hang drywall and hit a line drive to the warning track, but I like\u00a0The Crown,<\/em>\u201d is surely enough to qualify: your identity is\u00a0yours<\/em>, damnit. But these days, you\u2019re a sexist for thinking that those things signify anything. And you\u2019re also sexist if you think that it doesn\u2019t signify anything if some men declare themselves to be not-men because they like things or feel things in ways different than how they assert that (other? most? \u201creal?\u201d) men like or feel them.<\/p>\n

So what the hell: non-binary for everyone.<\/p>\n

Ditto\u00a0\u201cqueer.\u201d As part of the sexual-orientation alphabet soup, queer means something \u2013 anything, really \u2013 other than the standard categories of gay, lesbian or bisexual. According to disgraced former Governor Andrew\u00a0Cuomo\u2019s daughter and the Human Rights Campaign, people can\u00a0qualify<\/a>\u00a0as queer merely by \u201conly feel[ing] sexually attracted to someone [with whom] they have an emotional bond.\u201d Well, if that qualifies, so does absolutely anything else.<\/p>\n

Identify something you find sexy or romantic or off-putting or about which you are neutral, feel unique about it, and\u00a0do not\u00a0<\/em>bother to check whether you really are unique; again, this is\u00a0your special identity<\/em>.<\/p>\n

There you go. Now you\u2019re queer.<\/p>\n

As for being categorized as \u201cother\u201d race\/ethnicity: once again, you do you. In Europe, each nationality is called a race, so that it\u2019s racist for the English to make fun of the French (and the Associated Press appears to\u00a0think<\/a>\u00a0it\u2019s racist even to refer to \u201cthe French\u201d). In the U.S., there were traditionally three races, but once Hispanic, and now even MENA (middle eastern or north African) are added as options in an expanded race\/ethnicity category, no other option can be excluded. Hispanic means \u201cdescended in part from some kinds of Europeans.\u201d Anyone then qualifies to having a special \u201cother\u201d race\/ethnicity either under that specific sentence or by substituting the name of a different continent. It\u2019s kind of rude that they don\u2019t have a special box for your unique variety of race\/ethnicity, but that doesn\u2019t mean you have to submit to their unsafe and tyrannizing categories.<\/p>\n

Other it is, then.<\/p>\n

Once you make those declarations, all sorts of opportunities will open up. You\u2019ll have the chance to join the queer affinity group. If everyone does so on the same day, that next meeting should be fascinating \u2013 and I\u2019m guessing that the \u201cdemands\u201d that group makes will change pretty radically. Then set up affinity groups for other races and for non-binary employees. At last, you\u2019ll get to have an affinity group too, and can have long talks with management about the need to, oh, I don\u2019t know, treat people like unique human beings rather than avatars of increasingly incoherent groupings.<\/p>\n

The real equity warriors at the company will want to object. The central purpose of equity, after all, is to discriminate against whites, men, and straight people, and suddenly there won\u2019t be any of those left to discriminate against. But there won\u2019t be anything they can do about it. If they try to dig deeper into your self-identifications, first ask them if they\u2019re challenging everyone\u2019s, and by what systematic process.\u00a0There\u2019s no way for them to respond. If they\u2019re focusing on you because \u201cyou don\u2019t act queer\/non-binary,\u201d or \u201cyou don\u2019t look \u2018other,\u2019\u201d then they\u2019re openly and unquestionably discriminating on the basis of race and sex. But if they start questioning everyone\u2019s claims, then they\u2019ll have undermined the lunatic edifice that they\u2019ve built for themselves (and they\u2019ll also then immediately have to try to reconstruct it to keep the radical self-identifiers happy). After all, once you\u2019ve given the radicals the keys to the company, as, say, Disney has done to the Kingdom, you can\u2019t very well stand up to them later.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, if the companies start making up new loopholes \u2013 if, for instance, suddenly non-binary or queer don\u2019t count as diverse categories \u2013 then the lawsuits nearly file and decide themselves: some people\u2019s presentation of their sexualities and genders are accepted, but others are challenged, because of their relationship to outdated and restrictive stereotypes? Find the fainting couch!<\/p>\n

But also, per Alinsky, consider continuing the strategy with slight changes. Any Irish blood? Declare yourself \u201cOther\/Hibernic,\u201d write it in under Hispanic, and then demand an affinity group, a diversity categorization, and an explanation about why historical discrimination against Irish people doesn\u2019t matter. There\u2019s no non-racist (and non-insane) response that can be made. Ditto with the other categories: make your group-category more specific and then loudly demand that your special little niche get all the privileges that apply to every other plea for endless attention and special privileges.<\/p>\n

And with that, I leave you with another of one Alinky\u2019s miserable rules: \u201cthe real action is in the enemy\u2019s reaction.\u201d<\/p>\n

Equity and self-identification theory can\u2019t be made to work together, but they can\u2019t be sundered at this point without knocking down the whole miserable woke edifice. Wouldn\u2019t that be a shame?<\/p>\n
