Summary

The Pentagon has removed web pages about Holocaust remembrance and other historical topics to comply with Trump’s order to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) content from federal government sites.

Taken-down pages include stories of Holocaust survivors and religious tolerance, as well as content about 9/11 and veterans’ issues.

The Defense Department used automated tools to identify and delete up to 24,000 pages.

Critics argue this erases significant historical narratives, while the Pentagon defends the move as necessary to end “Woke cultural Marxism.”

    Apparently, history is too woke. Just assume white guys did everything going back to Moses (if you believe in that).

    Some examples of white men throughout history:

    • Gengis Khan
    • Jesus (but not Confucius or Buddha—they are some woke shit)
    • Cleopatra - little known fact: she was actually three white man in a trenchcoat
    • Shaka Zulu - famous for conquering South Africa for white people who ruled benevolently until Nelson Mandela fucked up a good thing
    • Mahatma Gandhi - famous for inventing Trump-style diplomacy in the original Civilization video game. Probably not an actual historical figure.

    Hey everyone, just a friendly reminder that self propelled compost sludge, Pete Hagseth, who was approved by the Republican Congress to serve as head of the DOJ, has multiple white Supremacists tattoos.

    I didn’t know the Holocaust was diverse, equitable and inclusive! Quite the opposite actually…

    I think the reasons behind these are:

    9/11 - Muslim-related. Something Trump has targeted before, huh, imagine that. But 9/11 wasn’t all about muslims, it was just started by a terrorist group of muslims.

    Holocaust - Jewish-related. Something suggests Trump has a conflicted interest on, since he helps Israel commit more genocide, so this one is a confused subject. Is he implying that he secretly hates Jews? Or placating to the haters in his voterbase that are anti-semitic?

      I strongly suspect that it’s not because it was a genocide against jews, but rather that it was perpetrated by Nazis, and he doesn’t want to paint them in a bad light.

      The Zionists wanted to ally themselves with Naz Germany against the British. They didn’t care that Hitler was doing the holocaust, they considered the Jews who died there to be weak. It did put a damper on their plans since they wanted Israel to be mainly Ashkenazi Jewish. But the holocaust reduced their numbers and so after destabilizing the Middle East and causing an exodus of Arab Jews they were forced to settle for browner Jews. All of the really important members of government in Israel are European Jews.

        A very large proportion of holocaust survivors in Israel live in poverty and they are treated worse than stray animals…

    They have re-branded DEI to mean Divisive Equity Ideology. They had to have an answer for when someone asked why they were against DEI (Diversity Equity and Inclusion).

    At this point the declaration of Independence is going to be removed from government websites for the woke phase “all men are created equal”.
