The hard part is choosing what messaging you can get across before you lose their interest and I think I already overextended myself... but that is an extremely important piece of the puzzle. Maybe if people are willing to engage with the first topic, you switch over to the example of civil rights and black liberation, and then you can tie it back together by pointing out the disparity in how these overlapping groups are treated based on how much they threaten the material interest of the state.

And from there, it's a short hop to "the state is the enforcement arm of those money hungry elites. They use token rewards and cheap ideological rhetoric to incentivize politically useful groups - Ivy Leaguer types and your manager - to align with them, but when their interests are directly threatened they won't hesitate to use violence. In fact, their interests don't even have to be threatened by your particular group to make it a target if the cost of using violence is outweighed by the gains."
