I see all your points and wonder what the larger picture is when an entire generation of people seems to have an unassailable persecution complex. Maybe valid, and maybe not, but healthy boundaries are what keep societies functioning. Societies that allow everyone to whine about everything all the time don't stay societies for long.

It will be very interesting to see if any of these orgs change during the next recession.

I’ve read good analyses arguing that one of the reasons corporations have gone woke in recent years is that, when interest rates were low, money was easier to come by than progressive goodwill. While some will probably stay woke regardless, higher interest rates will probably force others to crack down on employee activism and get back to making profits.

I wonder if progressive non profits will face similar pressure from big donors the next time the economy plunges.
