The problem with this that there are actually massive cultural and ideological changes been imposed on the western society at this time. We are being dragged to the hard left across multiple institutions. Some of us might not want that

Maybe I am confused and I didn't understand what you mean, but if you mean "hard-left" in the political sense, I feel I have to disagree.
In a lot of western country, the "hard-right" has won: Trump in the US, Johnson in the UK, Orban in Hungary, Bolsonaro in Brazil, ... And in some other country they are maybe the strongest they ever been in recent memory (France, Belgium, arguably even Germany). I cannot think of any "hard-left" president/prime-minister that has won in any country recently. Moderate left maybe, but no hard-left.
So if anything, the institutions in power are dragging us to the "hard-right", not really the opposite. Sure, some institutions have always been a left stronghold, but until now, it doesn't seem that they had really any impact in shifting the power balance ...
I think OP is going to meet resistance against the claim if people assume (maybe incorrectly) that they’re talking about the United States. I can’t speak to other places
