> Are they "just" sucking up to management or are they maybe the only ones who buy the propaganda?

IMO, neither. I don't like this purported dichotomy between "management" and "colleagues/employees". I have seen several of my former classmates and colleagues transition into management roles. Their ideology hasn't changed much in the last 20 years. For example, in the Indian context, their view of Kashmir and the army's role there is pretty much the same as the government propaganda. "Management" did not convince them when we were all still in college, and did not convince them when we were all low-level employees. The people just happened to grow up in an environment where a certain ideological bent was considered "right", "virtuous", etc.

Well this is kind of different thing since it's politics that is not necessary related to your business (I assume).

Here you had people leaving because of the clash between business ideology and their (as well the outsides) moral values. The company did not only advance and hire people who already had no moral values. They just found out. Now they shift people around until the compatible ones stay.

I wouldn't go as far as to say the company hired people who had no moral values. Just different from that of people who advocate anti-censorship values. Progressive political values are the current mainstream. Liberalism has long been on the decline in the mainstream. Both managers and employees, by and large, subscribe to progressivism. As a clear example of this culture, just look at what kinds of voices have been silenced on social media, and what kinds have been given free reign. I'm not even talking about the content of the employees' speech here.
