Two //// EDIT no, only one ///// little bright spots
Two minor victories against the mostly unstoppable juggernaut of Die-Versity.
In US, some star of some show about ducks makes a precisely accurate statement about the Biblical definition of sin. Media satans fire him for stating a fact. Customers start a firestorm of protest. Media satans back off slightly, continue the show.
In UK, a Die-Verse retailer allows a Muslim checkout clerk to refuse to sell alcohol, without any warning or indication that this is a "Muslim-only" aisle. Customers start a firestorm of protest. Business satans back off.
Both of these situations began in the standard modern style: a business says "Fuck the customers, we're only interested in share value, and Die-Versity increases share value." What happened next was a departure from standard modern customer-fucking. Normally the customers lay back and enjoy same. This time they used Twitter and Facebook to resist the rape.
Should be interesting to watch. In other precincts of Satan's realm, new media are loyally serving Satan by liquidating facts about "global warming" and "evolution". Will Twitter decide to shut down all dissent on Die-Versity? I'd bet yes, but at this point I wouldn't make a large bet. The natives may finally be getting seriously restless.
A bit later: Well, that bet was unnecessary. Turns out Twitter has ALREADY blocked all references to facts. I'm never paranoid enough.
