Garry Kasparov is right, I’m afraid: they are breaking everything so quickly even though it’s unpopular, because they never expect to face real elections again.

We can quibble about the placement of each item but the original sin here is the very existence of this graph. Why on earth would a news organization rank social issues like they're weapons in an RPG?
Of course the NYT sees the "DEI" stuff positively & is neutral on anti-trans discrimination

Government’s wins are often invisible: Systems that avoid plane crashes; alliances that avert war; surveillance that prevent pandemics.
Government wins are often *the avoidance of loss.*
So how do we tell the story of the destruction of government? The story of future losses *not* averted?

Liberals and conservatives don’t really argue about the principle of merit itself, but about how to achieve it.
We like to think that abilities or talents + hard work = merit.
But in reality, *merit* is nearly impossible to disentangle from economic advantage, regardless of what you do.

From a purely capitalist perspective, DEI makes sense. The wider the range of people working at your organization, the wider range of perspectives and needs you’ll have direct access to, which in turn will make your product more valuable to a greater audience, which means more money.
