Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: A Brief Overview

Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is a movement aimed at bringing about conceptual clarity in addressing issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion. It seeks to uncover linguistic distortions and manipulations that impact societal and institutional structures. The understanding of pseudo-realities and false linguistic constructs plays a crucial role in comprehending the goals and motivations of DEI. DEI is intertwined with the concept of neo-Marxism, focusing on race, sexuality, and other identity categories. The goals of the DEI movement involve challenging existing systems and achieving equity by rebuilding current structures.
