You assume some sort of industry I’m talking

Well-off white women from elite colleges run the diversity-and-sensitivity racket like the 17th-century Dutch ran the tulip racket, like the De Beers cartel used to run diamonds. They’re is getting paid.

The diversity industry is worth $8 billion per year these days. So... yeah.

(Also FYI, it's not about opposing institutional bias, it's about signaling and corporate power games.)

And for some strange reason, for equal-rights activists it is abad thing to make a living and earn money fighting for these rights. The usual argument is always "they are paid to further an agenda", indirectly undermining the message, the messanger and the issue at hand.

This doesn't seem to aplly for the otherside. People like Alex Jones make a load of money representing the opposite opinion. For him, making money all of a sudden isn#t a problem anymore.

No. It's perfectly fine (and even amazing) to make a living from a cause that is important to you.

But it's disingenuous to believe that activists 1) will not see what "obsess" them everywhere (that's a common psychological bias) and 2) will not try to make their cause as important as they can by inflating the numbers.

Where’d you get this number? First time hearing about it.
