Fair enough, I certainly know that goes on. Please understand though it's, in fact, NOT happening everywhere, or even most places. It happens in organizations that are highly invested in the Progressive POV: academia, tech, NGOs, media, etc. No one works in organizations like those that doesn't at least feel a kinship with that orientation--why would they need to? To many of them, it is their entire raison d'être. I agree it must be awful to work under the thumb of the personality-disordered authoritarians that run those places. Happily, there is a wide world of alternatives, if one is willing to consider them.
Everyone makes choices, and MOST importantly, all humans are deeply and permanently programmed to respond to incentives. When the pain outweighs the positives (or vice-versa), people act, people change.
Thank you for your thoughtful response, and best wishes.
