Summary
The Trump administration is facing backlash after reports that the Defense Department flagged over 26,000 images for deletion due to alleged connections to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).
Among them are photos of trailblazing pilots, including the Tuskegee Airmen and Col. Jeannie Leavitt.
Most controversially, an image of the WWII aircraft Enola Gay was flagged, seemingly because its name includes the word “gay.”
The revelation has sparked mockery online, with critics calling this “the STUPIDEST administration in American history.”
Whole lot of damage can be done by stupid people, especially if they are young and given a permission structure to break shit. For reference, see the Nazi Youth, the Red Guards, etc…
Not sure who is actually heading this up, but I would not be surprised if it was handed off to some eager beaver teenagers because a whole lot of idiots think that kids understand tech better than others (which is of course just very stupid in itself, but I suspect it’s an Inception of idiocy with this bunch, so if they adopted that counterfactual view, too, it would not be surprising).
Stupid people cause more evil than evil people
