Summary
The Trump administration fired Vice Adm. Shoshana Chatfield, the only woman on NATO’s military committee, reportedly due to past statements supporting diversity.
Chatfield, a decorated Navy pilot and Afghanistan veteran, appeared on a conservative “woke” watchlist targeting senior military officials who promoted DEI.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, leading the anti-DEI campaign, made the call, though it’s unclear if Trump directly ordered it.
Chatfield is the third top female officer dismissed under Trump. Critics warned the firings undermine military leadership and damage U.S. alliances.
That was the beginning of the collapse, when American politicians finally reversed the advances made by their economic base during the postwar boom and started capturing the value of our increasing productivity for themselves.
You’re not wrong but it allowed a few generations to be quite comfortable. Stole our future for their comfort at the time but that the comfort existed and could have continued without such greed is just another nail in the laissez faire capitalist coffin.
It allowed segments of that generation to be comfortable at the expense of the rest of that generation.
Large segments. There’s never a perfect golden age anywhere if we only look at poverty.
If the rising tide doesn’t lift all boats then it can’t be said to be a golden age, merely a gilded one.
Then nowhere has ever had a golden age.
True, and indicative.
The mythical golden age of the past is a core component of fascist ideology.
