That story could be about academia as well. The path out of embedded woke-ism is hard to see in industries where 90+ percent of the workers and management are from the left and far left. This reads like a science fiction description of some sort of soft Stalinism.

Not so soft Stalinism when professors of medicine have to issue public apologies for using the term "pregnant women". The woke term is "birthing people", a step too far even for Stalin's favorite geneticist Trofym Lysenko.
It seems to have infected office worker culture everywhere too. Even big construction companies have monthly DEI messaging from HR. I'll be damned if I ever leave the field and end up dealing with that crap in the office full time.
Having moved to the office, the HR fluff is easier to tune out than you think. That said, if employees start getting conscripted into mandatory diversity/sensitivity training sessions, then it's time to update the ol' resume.

I was reminded of Lysenko when reading the early reporting on our novel virus, from our "scientists." https://scareballoon.substack.com/p/plague-journal-may-2020-yellow-journalism
