In practice from what his admin did in power is a very different story.

And it's hard to say exactly how much of it he takes and where he draws his lines.

2018-07-17 21:27:04 UTC  

Then there's also jobs like HR

2018-07-17 21:27:20 UTC  

But yes, he's been telling kids to listen to their opponents.

2018-07-17 21:27:54 UTC  

yes but the issue is,

Has he been saying tha because he was on his way out, so it didn't matter for him anymore?

2018-07-17 21:27:58 UTC  

yeah pretty much any administration job in the social studies can be gotten with a gender studies degree

2018-07-17 21:28:02 UTC  

I should note I haven't actually heard him single out and stand up for anyone though (like that thing at Business Insider or the NYTimes)

so his influence seems minimal at best IMO

2018-07-17 21:28:33 UTC  

@I AM ERROR

There's also a burgeoning and rapidly growing industry of diversity consultants.

2018-07-17 21:28:41 UTC  

See: Starbucks or Google.

2018-07-17 21:28:59 UTC  

You can call it extracting rent if you want, but they are pulling in money.

2018-07-17 21:29:03 UTC  

that diversity stuff is not a job with a future

2018-07-17 21:29:09 UTC  

the real question is when will bloated beurocracy come and bite back in the ass of teh profit margins of these companies/univercities

2018-07-17 21:29:15 UTC  

Dunno about the states, but a lot of bank jobs are just any degree

2018-07-17 21:29:38 UTC  

Lower tier bank jobs mind, but the pay isn't that bad

2018-07-17 21:29:38 UTC  

That's the thing. It has a future as long as a sufficient and important number of people agree.

2018-07-17 21:29:45 UTC  

and does not have enough positions outside of college administrations.

2018-07-17 21:30:03 UTC  

that's why i said that is does not have a future, pratel

2018-07-17 21:30:12 UTC  

If you can create a situation where the market has no alternative, it doesn't matter. (See, for example academia. Find me a Uni besides Hillsdale that doesn't place SocJus)

2018-07-17 21:30:38 UTC  

(And Hillsdale doesn't count because it's hamstrung on it's own to where it'll never really replace anything)

2018-07-17 21:31:01 UTC  

You're missing the part where it moves outside colleges.

2018-07-17 21:31:06 UTC  

Like Starbucks.

2018-07-17 21:31:36 UTC  

Next economic downturn you think those jobs will survive?

2018-07-17 21:31:45 UTC  

It's not terribly complicated. You get a class of angry activists who will hound any business who steps out of line and you have a rentier class that 'fixes' the problem for money.

2018-07-17 21:31:51 UTC  

yeah silicon valley has a hard on for divercity consultants

2018-07-17 21:31:55 UTC  

yeah... starbucks... are they still a thing?

2018-07-17 21:32:03 UTC  

And it's not just SV, it's moving outside rapidly.

2018-07-17 21:32:09 UTC  

Starbucks is still doing well.

2018-07-17 21:32:13 UTC  

especially with all teh PR fallout from these stupid Papa Johns-esque incidents

2018-07-17 21:32:14 UTC  

I've seen military contractors going full SocJus.

2018-07-17 21:32:25 UTC  

i can see there being an uptick of hiring in that feild

2018-07-17 21:32:25 UTC  

Who are about the last people you'd expect.

2018-07-17 21:32:36 UTC  

That's the whole idea.

2018-07-17 21:33:47 UTC  

but again the real question is how long these manufactured incidents keep happening and if they stop how long they can ride on those coattails

2018-07-17 21:34:05 UTC  

LOL yeah ROBOT POWER

2018-07-17 21:34:34 UTC  

Amready for the bots

2018-07-17 21:35:24 UTC  

lol fuck im a musician theyre already taking all the instrumentalist jobs now OUR FUCKING FOOD SERVICE JOBS

2018-07-17 21:35:44 UTC  

@JULZIFICATOR Hypothetically infinitely. It's a matter of reaching critical mass and instilling it permanently.

2018-07-17 21:35:55 UTC  

whats this i hear? free coffee for being black at starbucks cuz of racist arrest?

2018-07-17 21:36:04 UTC  

the problem the diversity crowd has is that it is blatantly hateful... and no one likes blatantly hateful movements... so while they can hide behind their buzzwords, that will become harder and harder... and once the reach a certain point it will fall down.

2018-07-17 21:36:57 UTC  

burn them all!

2018-07-17 21:37:00 UTC  

Maybe. But it's hard to say. They could just adapt a bit and figure out how to keep playing dice.

Depending how they adapt that might be OK. But I have very little faith in these people.
