Deep dives

The Purpose of DEI Programs: Stochastic Entryism

DEI programs and initiatives serve as a mechanism for stochastic entryism, a tactic of infiltrating institutions and transforming them from within. The goal is to hire and recruit activists or individuals who can be radicalized through subsequent DEI training. DEI policies are designed to increase the probability of bringing in activists or easily radicalizable individuals without explicitly stating it. While on paper DEI does not allow hiring based on immutable characteristics, the aim is to increase representation by selecting individuals from diverse populations or those with expertise in diversity, both of which increase the chances of hiring activists. DEI statements and screening mechanisms are used to identify potential activists during the hiring process. After being hired, DEI training is used to radicalize activists and tip other employees toward activism. Likewise, DEI programs are also employed to identify and squeeze out individuals who oppose the DEI agenda, either through resignation, bullying, or dismissal. The stochastic nature of DEI ensures uncertainty regarding who will be hired, radicalized, or purged, providing plausible deniability for the true goal of increasing the concentration of activists within an organization.
