I understand the intensity of your criticism of this boomer generation of Sikhs, but I think we should remember the context of them being raised in a post 1984 horror/fear. Any way for them to fit in and not be pointed to as the “other” was latched onto. Born in 2002, my parents had this same fear raising me in a post 9/11 America, and as such cut my hair, their faith was diluted long before this decision.
There is that. But that should never have translated into the outright corruption it has into today. There is something fundamentally wrong with a majority of that age group in leadership positions.
"Critical theory, among other liberal theories, widely appeals to the general public at large because it underscores the inability of liberalism to furnish the equality it avows to produce."
It's funny, as their policies fail to create equality in every area, the explanations become more and more superstitious. What is "internalized white supremacy" or "unconscious bias" but an invisible spirit that causes trouble and problems- in the same way a peasant would blame devils or faeries for rats getting into the grain.
"Internalized white supremacy" is humorous. How does this internalization happen? They rarely have an answer but it still doesn't stop the morons from doing equally moronic PhDs in even more moronic fields such as intersectionality studies. Dumb, desi, and unloved? Welcome to the excitingly infamous careers of decolonisation, intersectionality, and gender where socialist governments pay your tab just so you can massacre electrons and trees to print paper after obsolete paper that is too redundant to even be tissue paper.
The problem is that our intellectuals see the terms "equality", "freedom" and dive headfirst into the liberal pool without assessing what these terms actually mean for liberals in the first place.

I feel you. There's a way through this house of mirrors we call American society.
Here is my takeway, correct me if I'm wrong
Sikhism is the path to becoming human.
A Sikh can treat themselves with respect and treat others how they want to be treated.
However a Sikh does not support or respect delusions such as transgenderism or other "religions" (Islam, Hinduism, etc)
A Sikh can support and defend themselves, and their family, so others do not need to get involved.
Furthermore, a Sikh can do so without deliberately weakening or exploiting others.
Sikhism is not about land redistribution (Marxism)
Sikhism is not about wealth redistribution (Marxism)
Sikhism is not about tolerating delusions (Liberalism)
Sikhism is not about fighting for the weak or proving how tough you are (cannon fodder mentality)
Sikhism is not about fighting for the weak-correct.
It's about empowering the weak to fight for themselves.

"Freedom to increase responsibility and control one's reactions"
That's a good way to put it
