I quite liked David Graeber, but a lot of this seems very simplistic. It would be easy to see a version of this meme a few inches to the right that lists things like "diversity officer" or "union shop steward".
but I think crucially he doesn’t say that. he also near-explicitly excludes them with “if society would noticeably change within weeks if we didn’t have them anymore” - ending unions would immediately see unrest, and as for diversity officers, well, erm, the US is doing that and it is being noticed
