A non-trivial amount of intersectional rhetoric is actually driven by affluent white men in their 50s (or older) who run legacy media institutions who are crippled by guilt & an insatiable need to curry favour with the (mostly female) millenials who work in their milieu.

I had this suspicion confirmed when I was in NYC recently and spoke to the local journos. They all say the same thing. It's the rich boomers who are terrified of being called racist & sexist that are letting the woke kids destroy institutions from the inside out.

How has legacy UK media (notably the Times, and a few other journos writing for other outlets) at least partially avoided this same fate? There's nearly as much wokeness there as in the US.
