If you've ever visited, you've no doubt noticed the high volume of posts noting "convergence" in several industries (Science Fiction, Tech, and more), which is the process of advocates for "social justice" (called social-justice warriors or SJW's) to infiltrate organizations, companies, churches, and the like, and start modifying policy to better fit the narrative being promoted by said advocates.
Most of this convergence occurs under the flag of "diversity," which always translates to "we need more women and minorities in the organization." It's argued that diversity has loads of benefits to the company (without actually showing any - you know - actual tangible benefit after diversity has been tried).
It's peddled as a Miracle-Gro for organizations; that more diversity leads to huge benefits.

The problem is, most of the people hired or brought in provide no value to the organization, and are simply added to meet some arbitrary quota, implemented by those that are pushing the diversity cause forward. And every time it's been tried, the organization ends up losing key visionaries that - in many cases - started the organization, and the group collapses upon itself soon after. Only the massive corporations can survive the change, and often end up becoming husks of their former glories.
Robust economy-driving businesses, clubs, and societies are infiltrated and reduced to anemic shells, unable to see healthy growth ever again. Aside from diversity being bold-faced racism (more women and minorities ultimately has to mean less white men), it kills every organization it's been tried on.
It's Spectracide for businesses, sold as Miracle-Gro.

Now, most people would look at the results and say, "Hey, that Miracle-Gro doesn't really work," and people would stop using it. The more sinister problem than the poison itself, is that people who notice what's happening and speak out are often targeted for removal from the organization, branded as racists and misogynists, and their careers permanently tarnished, or worse. Key players are ousted because they hold an opinion that doesn't conform. See Brendan Eich for a prime example. Even CEO's and founders can be expelled. And look at Mozilla's business performance lately.
After reading about the concept, it's amazing how true the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon really is. Once someone points out a detail, you start seeing it everywhere.
The flag of "diversity" is flying high in the industry I work in. I notice it everywhere. I see organizations affiliated with my company doing speeches and articles on how diversity is "our best defense." I see our trade shows - once beacons of innovation and new ideas - now reduced to what can only be described as "mass scolding" from social justice warriors (SJW's) to the very people that created the industry. Apparently we're very intolerant around here.
Yet, if you have the right skills and talents, you'd have no problem getting hired in our industry, or any other in the US. We're begging for talent, and you can have an excellent career if you're willing to put in the effort, and it's always been that way. We don't care what the hell you look like here.
But we're looking right down the nozzle of a spray bottle right now. And it isn't Miracle-Gro.
