If academics don’t have the courage to say no to the spread of wokism, academia will be a empty shell of its former self, a place in which progressive pieties and ideology more broadly triumph over truth. It might already be too late.
The problem *is* with the system and with the incentives - it requires candidates to demonstrate apparently sincere belief in insanity which can only be done by the dishonest or the insane.

I would frame it in a more mechanical way. The problem with academia is that the flow of $$$ is controlled by committees behind closed doors and not subject to any oversight by the people whose money it is, and real names and doxxing facilitates takeover by aggressive ideologies.

There is also some element of virtue signalling amongst students, campus activism etc but I think that's an effect rather than a cause.
