A thread one must read on the "progressive" stance on objectivity: https://twitter.com/1a/status/1270366697409720322?s=19
One needn't wonder how pervasive these ideas are. Here is a compilation of media personalities from various outlets, such as @CNN and @MSNBC, espousing them explicitly. https://twitter.com/tomselliott/status/1271126434296352774?s=19
Here is a sitting congresswoman endorsing the views of Critical Theory. https://twitter.com/thehill/status/1271620805227659267?s=19
A fine summary of the "progressive" left's aversion to objectivity: https://twitter.com/vladeemer1/status/1277807007391604736?s=19
A fine thread on the absurd "trans-women are women" claim putforth by "progressives": https://twitter.com/wokal_distance/status/1277730769755009024?s=19
Again on the subject of the pervasiveness of these "social justice" ideas, one mustn't forget their acceptance by large multinational corporations. As much as "progressive" ideologues love to pretend otherwise, they hold much political power.

As noted by many, including @ConceptualJames, much of "progressive" or social justice dogma resembles that of Calvinism.
A clear example of this: According to @citizenstewart, white people are collectively irredeemably racist.

Another example of this nonsense. https://twitter.com/realchrisrufo/status/1280277423846653953?s=19
In concerning to see this nonsense being applied to math. To the ideologues applying this postmodern approach, different representations of certain concepts prove that the concepts are themselves different.
A fine explanation for why this is not the case: https://twitter.com/AvrahamAdler/status/1282833202357448705?s=19

Another field which postmodernists have set their sights on is biology. Since certain biological concepts, such as the two sexes, can be represented in varying terms, the underlying differences that exist in reality are dismissed or ignored. https://twitter.com/SwipeWright/status/1277743874450968576?s=19
Another fine thread by @wokal_distance. This thread examines the prevalence of the aforementioned "progressive"/Critical Social Justice concepts in education. When people speak of left-wing indoctrination, this is what they refer to. https://twitter.com/wokal_distance/status/1282910518345252865?s=19
