That’s funny because the left currently dominates all aspects of culture, academia, work, and society. The orthodox is solidly “progressive” right now.
The world isn't a binary choice between either left or right.
The overwhelming majority of the world operates in the grey middle which is what is codified into policies, laws, precedents, standards, norms etc. And much of it is universal across the world e.g. the concept of professional conduct in companies.
There something true about it though. People see the world through “my tribe, not my tribe”. Left vs right. Islam vs non-Islam. West vs non-west. Sunni vs Shia. etc.
Because the self described left has de-emphasized economic and labor concerns, and prioritize intersectional identity as defining oppressor and oppressed categories.
Depends on which industries you are in and where you live. If you are in tech or finance this may be true to some extent. If you are in academia it’s definitely true unless you are at one of those far right religious colleges.
If you are in construction, energy, manufacturing, or countless other fields it’s either not true or only present to a “token” degree in the form of some sensitivity training seminar you have to listen to for HR onboarding.

What a weird statement. Dominates all of culture? Work? Society??!
The extremes on both ends do definitely dominate in the public debate which is frustrating (and, I think, dangerous). It makes it seem like the average person is much less reasonable than I believe they are.
The extremes dominate the public debate, because the media is outrage-driven for clicks. Thus insane voices get amplified, and our public discourse goes insane.
Jokes aside, the left wing has a reality bias. Left-wing people have a greater propensity than right-wing people to adapt their views to fit reality. Right-wing people have the propensity to make reality fit their views. IIRC this has been shown in scientific studies, but you'll probably say those are controlled by the left.
