Diversity is strength

  1. Diversity is strength / diversity is our strength (motif taken literally) -> debatable. nothing can really justify the act of purposefully getting rid of diversity. diversity is always fine as an end rather than a means. but at the same time, the top reasons anybody needs diversity in order to have strength also have contradictory effects of making diversity the worst way to get it. it's typical to say "diversity is our strength" just to persuade people you aren't out to get them. but if you're saying that it's a tautology. if bigots really were out to get them they'd all find that diversity didn't strengthen them in their goals, and the minority demographics would find that letting in too many identities was a real strain on their ability to protect themselves when they typically start out with few people and not much for resources to spread over all the people who aren't already strong enough to stake out territory to keep away from bigots. whenever things get tough you see things like "stop admitting trans people to LGBT" pop up, or "stop admitting White people to pride" (if I've ever actually seen that one, it's only said as a joke, but the general sentiment of wanting to "communitize" everything and whittle everything down to the minimal closely connected "community" of people that Truly represents it is definitely a common thing). once you see beyond protest brain and the perception that progressivism and inclusion only take place at individual street protests and never happen at all anywhere else, you start to realize that movements are really messy things that no matter how much they try to call themselves "communities" and pretend to be non-political entities, the more they start revealing that every single Community is inherently exclusionary and there is nothing about Communities that inherently causes them to include each other. we're all just a bunch of blobs of Animals that fight each other daily over people-arrangements that aren't decided and suffer as groups when anyone fails to perfectly represent the greatest strength, the greatest ability, or the most elite compassion-and-kindness-and-sensitivity skill. if anybody is just tired of all of it and the horrible contradiction of having to fight and displace and exclude and kill people the best through niceness and performance of being the goodest virtuousest existiest individual who exists the best and has the most existence to generously hand to people without getting mad at anyone, the blobs of Animals throw them out and demand better erasing of bad thoughts and memories and better performances.

Diversity is natural

  1. Diversity is natural / In nature, variation between different populations as well as variation between individuals inside a population happens spontaneously without intervention and generally takes unusual situations to eliminate -> out of the many things anarchists say this is one of the only ones that's true.
