A truly revolutionary idea in this era of authoritarian social justice causes.

In what way are social justice causes authoritarian?

Not in itself. I'll even sometimes step up myself and at some point managed to get my boss to hire the girl who cleaned our offices since she was qualified only hadn't been considered since she was Polish.

The insistence on punishment (firing, public shaming) for minor offences (wrongthink) withouth due process is worrying though.

Public shaming for wrongthink? I have no idea what you are talking about, nor how it relates to the article.

Can you explain a bit more?
