One way to look at this is as the rise of a new priest class in the secular West, with the fall of traditional organized religion. People versed in the obscure academic language of the different branches of grievance studies, who, not only now have managed to obtain tenure for themselves and their disciples, but now are sending apostles into the industry to obtain power in those spheres as well. They are in charge of, and the only ones properly trained, to help regular people atone and repent for the original sin of privilege. They're being given progressively more say and power in academia, in the industry, while actually not dealing with anything backed by hard science or evidence-based research. This is not to say that some of the causes of parts of the grievance priesthood are not worth fighting for, such as equality and inclusion, but that it's likely not about those causes anymore. It's now a self-replicating organism that is primarily interested in acquiring more authority. It's reminiscent of Christianity (as a value system) vs the Church (as an organization) tension that's existed for ages.
