Beginning in 2011, there was a rapid shift in the ways people associated with the knowledge economy talked about “social justice” and engaged with “social justice” issues. Professionals in fields like tech, finance, education, journalism, arts, entertainment, design, and consulting (and students who aspired to join their ranks) grew much more politically “radical” over the last 10 years, and increasingly intolerant of dissent. The shifts were especially pronounced on matters pertaining to identity (above all, race, gender, and sexuality).
