More from the article ...

... Kloster described himself as a misogynist on X, formerly Twitter, in February 2023 when replying to a user who said, "women love a sprinkle of misogyny in a man." He wrote: "I'm 100% women respecter precisely because I'm a raging misogynist. I'm so kind you'll want to kill yourself and die, which is the goal."

The Daily Beast reported in 2023 on other posts Kloster made on social media that the site archived before he deleted them. Kloster wrote that "slavery was voluntary" saying, "(1) slaves did everything (2) white ppl didn't free the slaves. Conclusion: slavery was voluntary." ...

Back in the days of the Tea Party movement, well, I will say that the apparent expressed misogyny of the Tea Party was why I left the Republican Party and became an "unaffiliated voted" here in CT. Unaffiliated because here in CT, the Independent Party seems to be just an arm of the GOP.

So CT gives me the option of being "unaffiliated."

Of course, I can no longer vote in primaries.

I think that is wrong.

Years ago Andrew Kloster worked for Matt Gaetz. The two must have been like "Beavis and --------."

Andrew Kloster then. He looks much different today.

Matt Gaetz then. He looks about the same.

One of the reasons I am a supporter of national service, is that perhaps if the Alpha males had to rub shoulders with the rest of us maybe they would learn some humility.

In my experience there are Alpha males and there are Alpha males. The smart, quieter, wiser ones are the most interesting and actually are insightful and capable of making positive contributions. The swaggering blowhards? Neutered, dumb as rocks poosy cats in thrall to someone who growls louder. They are actually quite dangerous.

They are dangerous because they really aren't Alphas, they are Betas who think jwcked up 4 wheel drive pickup trucks with loud exhaust systems somehow turns them into Alphas. The are also not leaders; they are followers looking for some leader who talks tough and who is unashamedly racist, homophobic, xenophobic, misogynist, transphobic, etc. just like they are. They are boiling in rage because a black guy, or worse, a black woman got the promotion they wanted but wasn't qualified for. And deep down they think deporting millions on immigrants will finally open up the path for them to succeed without all the competition from immigrants. Problem is, they still won't succeed because they don't have the abilities necessary to succeed. Trump is a Beta too, that's why he needs Musk and Putin to tell him what to do.

...

Exactly why DEI occurred in the first place.

To help teach humility and respect for others and give everyone a voice.

And to reiterate once more for the more neurologically challenged amongst us (looking at you Bozo and DingDong) DEI training ALWAYS occurs AFTER you are hired. Not before. It has NOTHING to do with your qualifications for the job.
