@BlackAzizAnansi so true esp in the US. For quite some time, we've grown, but they haven't.
Gatekeeping tactics at the highest levels of power have NOT really changed at all.
In far too many cases, it's still only the people willing to go along with bullshit who are allowed to ascend to -the most- powerful positions.
Institutions hire "fair and justice oriented" people at lower levels for functionality and good PR, but at the top it's all domination and force. Still.
