You laugh but corporations and the woke are just as cultish as some niche "religions"

Won't name the firm, but there was some brainwashing going on.
I agree, but also include groups which make heavy use of the phrase "the woke." Tribalism in general can easily spiral into cultism.
Most anti-woke groups don't instruct their members to not associate outside of the tribe.

Hardcore racist groups certainly do though.

This isn't what I've observed. I'm sure there are such groups that don't though.

I think there's a difference between moderates and older styled progressives who find the woke to be regressive and conservatives that hate anything seemingly left wing.
