>Ignoring social problems in the workplace because it is a workplace is how we avoid solving those problems as a society. Those who create social problems in the workplace by constantly prosecuting their cultural crusade perform an astounding display of entitlement. Nobody is obligated to agree with your social judgements, no matter how fervently you hold your beliefs or how self-righteous you are. This is especially true when a large part of your cultural crusade consists of sifting through utterances from the distance past in an attempt to find anything you and your fellow crusaders consider "problematic", so that you may punish the transgressors. As an older person, my personal belief is society went off the rails in the late 1980s. Its when we started giving every kid a trophy, no matter how poorly they performed. Its when we started telling every kid they were entitled to respect, no matter how boorishly or stupidly they acted. Its when we started telling every kid that they were entitled to be free of judgement, no matter how awful their behavior or how much they deserved to be judged. Its when we started telling kids that their opinions were valuable, no matter how absurd, idiotic or delusional those opinions were. Now we have generations of people who think they have the right to force others to (fervently!) adopt their cultural mores. They are blinded by self-righteousness, having been raised on a steady diet of coddling and compliments. They have been conditioned since birth to reflexively appeal to authority whenever they feel wronged or "micro-aggressed".
