It's not as fringe as you think. Education at all levels (K-12 and higher ed) is increasingly teaching these concepts dogmatically, meaning in a decade or two such ideas will be much more widespread, as those students become adults.
Those at the top of the hierarchy -- people in positions of power and influence at Fortune 500 companies and venerable institutions -- are the same, either believing in these ideas, parroting them because they feel they have to, or using them as a cudgel to knock others down. Again, in a decade or two all of that will flow downstream.
Already, those who grew up in authoritarian countries and are now university professors are noticing how the adherence to the DEI party line is indistinguishable from adherence to the despot's party line 50 years ago; some true believers and many who mouth the words because they dare not.
