Through and endless barrage of “diversity and inclusion” marketing over the past 10 years corporations have convinced people they care about marginalized people, underrepresented minorities, and every social cause in the world.
In reality they’ve turned human beings into quota. Some of these companies actually put their “diversity stats” in annual reports and on their websites, essentially showing off how many minorities they can collect.

A specific example in 2021, lockdown policies of the left may have had a far more profound impact on pushing people away than any random guest on Joe Rogan.

This is true of Marxist ideals in general. Like religion, they don’t hold up against alternative ideologies and their followers - like religious zealots - will often seek out and destroy any “competing” way of thinking.
