Recently, there’s been a lot of discussion regarding the state of our disgraced airline industry. With reports of planes experiencing critical failures, emergency incidents like doors flying off mid-air, tech issues, hackings, and an alarming number of near-miss collisions, it’s understandable why many people are feeling apprehensive about air travel.

It’s understandable to be concerned, given the current state of affairs. The situation is chaotic, and so-called leaders like Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg don’t exactly inspire confidence.

Attacks on Pete Buttigieg for paternity leave are homophobic, misogynist and bad for business

Adding to the worry about a lack of confidence in the airline industry, a recent incident highlighted this growing concern. A confrontation had unfolded between a seasoned pilot and a female air traffic controller. Their heated debate centered around landing procedures. Remarkably, the air traffic controller was attempting to instruct the veteran pilot using Google as her source of information.

Let’s hope that particular air traffic controller isn’t on duty the day you decide to travel. In fact, there’s a petition calling for her removal from the position. While it’s always unfortunate to see someone’s job at risk, in this case, her continued employment seems to pose a clear risk to public safety.

So, what’s really happening with our aviation industry? Did it suddenly deteriorate overnight? Unlikely. It seems more like a gradual decline, potentially influenced by the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives that prioritize woke quotas over skills and expertise.

Revolver:

The aggressive substitution of merit in favor of diversity has led to a so-called competency crisis, jeopardizing not only our ability to generate innovative technology but, in a more dire sense, our ability to simply maintain the proper functioning of various complex systems vital to our existence as a first-world civilization. Despite the superficiality of “diversity” as a matter of rhetoric, the reality of diversity as an ideological, cultural, and legal imperative is not merely cosmetic—far from it.

While a full treatment of this topic would run far outside the scope of this article, we have discussed elsewhere the manner and extent to which the affirmative action regime is embedded deeply into the law, economy, and every major institution in the country.

There’s actually been an entire nation that has fallen from grace thanks to the obliteration of meritocracy and the elevation of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. That nation is South Africa, and Revolver has explained that whole mess in a tour de force article from two years ago.

Revolver:

The meltdown in South Africa isn’t a natural disaster or a random fluke. It’s a choice. South Africa was the first modern nation to be refounded on the anti-white principles of Critical Race Theory, and now it is reaping the whirlwind of that choice.

South Africa did everything that is being done in America right now. As a hyperdiverse multiethnic, multilingual society, South Africa has followed almost every prescription embraced by the globalist ruling class.

This is about more than riots. This wave of violence will eventually peter out. But there is no reason to be optimistic when that happens. There will be no sense of having survived a calamity, and having a chance to rebuild. When this wave of burning and looting and killing are over, there is nothing to look forward to but the next wave.

The specter of doom hangs over South Africa. The optimism that peaked when the country hosted the 2010 World Cup is now gone. Despite being warned for years about failing water infrastructure, local governments ignored the problem and now the country has routine, severe water crises. South Africa began experiencing rolling blackouts in 2007, and has battled them ever since. Even the government says the blackouts will likely continue for at least five more years. Hint: Bet your money that they last even longer.

Despite being the “economic superpower” of Sub-Saharan Africa, South Africa’s brain drain is significant and accelerating. Those who have options are abandoning the country. More than four percent of all deaths are murders, and the murder rate is somehow still rising; last year it rose by 8.4 percent. But it’s not just about day-to-day violence. It’s the expectation for what is to come.

Besides critical infrastructure, the police forces were also devastated in that unfortunate country:

From the late 90s onwards, in the name of hitting diversity quotas, South Africa’s police adopted a “fast-track” promotion strategy while also gutting training requirements for new recruits. Senior police leadership became political appointees selected for loyalty rather than competence. The end result is a shoddy police force that kills people with hammers for violating COVID-19 lockdowns but abandons the population in the face of lethal riots.

Unfortunately, the DEI agenda has permeated many sectors in America, just like it did in South Africa. The result? A surge of unqualified people in key positions is creating widespread inefficiencies and danger. However, this isn’t just happening in aviation; we’re seeing it unfold in our military and corporations too. Look at Bud Light and Disney, for example—companies that embraced “wokeness” and are now facing financial difficulties. These days in America, job competence is overshadowed by DEI objectives, and that fact should motivate every single American.
