Sometimes genuine movements are co-opted by people who see a potential for profit. For example, feminism had a large positive impact for employers. If you double the workforce, you can lower the standard salary. It's the same as what they do with illegals now.

Haha that reminds me of an old E Michael Jones lecture on feminism.
"I think we all agree here that feminism makes you stupid. But does feminism also make you fat? I can definitely answer - yes. Feminism makes you stupid and fat"
