I think you are seeing things from a bubble. Most people in the country are in favor of efforts to correct for historical injustices and are worried about AIs repeating biases in their training that could have a material impact on the world.

Case in point: large advertisers and entertainment companies "pander" to these sorts of views, because it is broadly popular

This is not the work of a shadowy cabal

I gave some evidence that being socially progressive / "woke" is broadly popular. Advertisers are not activists, they're following what people like

If you go by online, popularity, yes, a lot of people do want to erase history in favor of feelings. That can be your opinion too.

> Broadly popular

Are they? Or are the loudest voices asymmetrically affecting discourse?

> This is not the work of a shadowy cabal

And how would you know if it was? What would the clues be? If you were in a bubble that was designed to impart an informal religious view (and it is a religion sometimes, just one with a screen instead of a book) that encompass politics and morality, how would you know?
