One of the reasons why the Gramscian “slow march through the institutions” works so well is because most people don’t care about underlying fundamental things and only care when, and only so long as, their superficial sense of normalcy is threatened. This is actually a sane thing for most people who spend their time just trying to live their lives in peace and quite. It also doesn’t mean that this sub rosa dismantlement and replacement of the pillars of society isn’t a threat; quite the opposite: That is why it is such a threat.
In other words: Out of sight; out of mind. The Left will occasionally overshoot or become over confidence to act too overtly, only to face strenuous opposition. This retreat is seen as a total victory when it is only a strategic withdraw from overt elements, rather than the ca 90% of the woke iceberg still lurking below the visible view. Thusly, the Left but continues to work towards that day when it can, not fight overtly, but declare openly that victory has already happened. The woke roots continue to spread like the weeds they are. DEI rebranding and hiding it’s true intent is one of the more obvious ways they do that… and that rebranding towards bland and blasé innocence continues on.
“Over the last year and a half several states have taken action against Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) on college campuses. But banning something never results in its eradication. A year ago, we wrote about this problem – that DEI isn’t going away, it’s just going underground. Whether campuses are renaming their DEI offices, or moving administrators into other departments to do the same work, DEI still exists.”
