Absolutely. The activism infrastructure can't stop even after achieving its goals. It's too entrenched. Hell, it can't even change direction. There are plenty of people in other countries that would benefit from the old fashioned civil rights movement, but of course all the local activists aren't going to uproot and start new institutions over there. That would be way too disruptive to their lives and incomes. Instead they follow their incentives and continue working on whatever the current thing is, even if the current thing is no longer morally important. Even if the new thing is almost completely manufactured. The machine has no off switch, it doesn't stop until it's dismantled.

All movements are like this. They all overshoot their reasonable goals because they're made up of people who dedicate their lives to the cause and can't pivot. We are seeing it now with leftist movements, but we need to be wary of our own movements too. I worry that if anti-leftist reactionary movements gather steam, they won't stop at pushing back against the left movements. We've been calling the woke movements the new McCarthyism, but we don't want our own movements to create a new new McCarthyism that undoes legitimate civil rights like marriage and housing. Though if you argue that it's too early to worry about such things, I have to agree.
