That is what they want to believe, but it is mostly not true. Even at Google they made it look like it was the case, I worked there during the Damore debacle. But tons of Engineers went against the grain and weren't cancelled, instead after that I noticed that Google started cracking down on the worst SJW types at Google and firing them. It didn't benefit Google to have these SJW types running the show when by far the most common view at the company was pro meritocracy, SJW makes a lot of noise making it seem like they have a lot of power but they only have that power if leaders believe SJW have power. When leaders calls the bluff nothing happens, the company doesn't get attacked etc, things just peter out.

In a tiny handful of high-profile cases yes. Realistically it's a lot less likely than e.g. getting randomly hit by a car, and so we shouldn't let it change our behaviour.
