I cannot wait for this era of GENERAL political activism at work to end.

If there are specific policies at work that effect you (meaningfully, not tangentially) by all means seek to change them.

If you just want to wear your woke flair and bring all general outside politics inside…get a hobby, start a religion, join a movement…leave the rest of us alone.

What the Dalits are facing is similar to what blacks faced in the 60s when the civil rights movement started. Those topics have to be addressed.

Great. Either challenge a specific policy at work, or protest at the state capitol.

The office is not your church.

If a policy effects my colleagues, it effects me. If that doesn't effect you, then by all means, do nothing.

If the policy affects you at work because of a specific work policy, by all means.

If you are protesting SOCIETY at work, I encourage you to leave the building.

And I would gladly ignore your encouragement without a second thought. Work is a subset of life and society, not a separate reality.
