E Pluribus Unum is the answer DEI tried to kill. The chemistry metaphor is exactly right: America’s historic strength was solution diversity, not mixture diversity. The old melting pot took different peoples, languages, customs, and origins and fused them into Americans. DEI does the opposite. It freezes groups in permanent grievance, lowers standards, rejects assimilation, rewards separation, and calls the resulting hostility “inclusion.” The outcome is not diversity, equity, and inclusion. It is division, enmity, and isolation. A country cannot survive as competing tribes under one flag. Out of many, one—or out of many, collapse.
Out of one, many. Excellent analysis once again Mr. Smith. I enjoy reading your posted thoughts, but always seem to be somewhat agitated by the time I read the last paragraph.
Not of course because anything you have said was false. But because it’s true. And there’s not much normal Americans can do to stop the abbynormal freight train that’s rolling out of control towards us.
DEI is a serious threat to the Republic. But DEI is simply the tip of the iceberg of a political party that is truly unstable. It has been this way for some time. it also seems that near half of the electorate missed the train to normalville and Instead jumped off at raving psychotic junction.
Any time half of the electorate relishes overthrowing, impeaching, jailing or assassinating the opposing political party or anyone else they deem unworthy of their love, should be considered armed and dangerous. Ones watches and thinks maybe one day the numbskulliosis will fade, but in the back of one’s mind they know it’s not going to happen. This experiment called America may fail.
Most of the issues are the work of foreign actors, but a lot of the media are complicit. They spread insanity almost immediately. People believe everything they are told on news organizations and act out when prompted. That train is coming.
To “diversify” means to divide & that has been the point all along; split up the U.S. populace along ethnic/racial/sexual grounds & relentlessly propagate the idea that - because of their ethnic/racial/sexual grounds - you have to vote a particular way & the other side is “Nazi” & looking to incarcerate/kill you.
Groups like the Mexican La Raza (The Race) are reconquistas still upset about the Mexican War of 1848 & looking to reconquer the American Southwest. That’s why “assimilation” is a dirty word anymore.
It's neither a mixture nor a solution, it's a pure substance, a chemical compound, made of only one type of particle, a water molecule. It can only be separated by chemical means and involves a large energy change.
If you dissolve salt or sugar in the water, you'll get a solution. There's now more than one type of particle, but they are uniformly distributed and in a single phase (liquid). It can still be separated by physical means, such as evaporation.
Add sand instead, you'll have a mixture. There are regions of just one type of particle or the other, solid silica or liquid water. They will not thoroughly mix into one phase.
The worst part of the Nowak case is the police response (or lack thereof). Not sure how you get that any stabbing is "necessary" (since you call this one unnecessary) or "just". You can run across a nutcase with a knife or a gun in this country and it is just as unfortunate.
"While they maintained a fondness for their origins, they subjugated that fondness to the love, devotion and loyalty to their new home."
Our creed is accessible to anyone who wants to live here, yet that creed is now rejected not just by those born on foreign soil. DEI doesn't precede the fight against assimilation and adoption of our national creed, it is an after effect (from those born here who reject it).

Alternately, Division Exclusion Intolerance.
You are singing to the choir. DEI is alive and will return with a vengeance in November. I fear for the US.

Thanks for this great analysis. It clarified many things for me.
Is H2O a mixture or solution? Can the elements be separated?
It is a solution whose elements can be separated ... with application of strong, even violent, external force.
It's neither a mixture nor a solution, it's a pure substance, a chemical compound, made of only one type of particle, a water molecule. It can only be separated by chemical means and involves a large energy change.

Thank you. As you may have deduced, chemistry was not my strong suit in school.
