Great commentary and insights. Your description of the CRT theorists endgame/desires doesn'et just describe them. It also describes every petty, self-important bureaucrat I've ever had to suffer. I wonder if the neo-Marxism is just the window-dressing for career bureaucrats finally finding words and ways to justify their own self-importance. They may not care about the Marxist ideology, because the ideology is only useful insofar as it makes them feel self-important.

I think the bureaucrat and the self-important cogs in the machine are fundamentally opposed to meritocracy.

While legislative mandates are a strong legal route, a new frame that makes bureaucrats feel self-important without the toxicity of CRT might go further in fixing the CRT aspect of bureaucratic culture.
