If only DEI was that literal. Instead, it allowed companies to discriminate based on race, but to those with left-leaning beliefs, that’s okay as long as it only negatively affects white people, because they deserve it!

That's a lot of talking with very little to back it up.

I'd like some actual instances of companies that have specifically not hired a qualified candidate because they were white.

And "those with left-leaning beliefs". That's me, hand in the air and proud of it. "as it only negatively affects white people, because they deserve it" You're chatting shit mate. That's not what I or any of my "left leaning" friends believe.

Sounds like you're a normal lefty. Nice! Maybe I'm spending too much time on Reddit because the political opinions there are very extreme, it's probably giving me a more negative view of the left

If you think Reddit is extreme, wait until you meet the people on Lemmy. There are a couple of normal rational folk around here, but they're far outnumbered at the moment.

Seems to be the case, although at least it's real here. Reddit is obviously astroturfed and full of bots, Lemmy is just full of legit leftists. Pick your poison I suppose.

Nah we're astroturfed hard here too -- NONSTOP anti-Harris "can't vote for genocide" stuff here, until after Trump got elected and then hundreds and hundreds of accounts just vanished overnight. The topic isn't even so much as discussed any more.

There's a ton of endpoints in the fediverse, so it's really easy to spread the account production everywhere, and automation is really easy. I'd do it myself if I were a dishonest person.
