If an institution is fundamentally terminally infected, fighting it from within will fail. Leaving and building a new one is far more likely to succeed, and then we have alternatives that can take over as the old ones collapse.
Institutions that aren't yet infected should be defended, but don't spend resources trying to hold ground that's already been lost.
Of all the institutions to try to assert your values from the inside of, the one with the strict chain of command and its own, more extreme, punitive justice system, who's primary onboarding purpose is breaking independence and conditioning obedience is not the most wise choice.
Not from the start. Just currently. However, the infection is terminal if it advances to the stage of controlling the upper hierarchy.
These institutions are being strongly encouraged from top levels to purge themselves of non-progressives. The progressives have a full lock on power. Now they purge non-cult members. This was easy to see when generals were replaced by progressives under Obama.
There is no retaking this country or its institutions. They are the majority and they already have full power and control. No one gets off this train. There are no stops.
The next steps are a deep recession, further destruction of small businesses and consolidation, shortages, and then the dreaded and fatal price controls.
After that all is left for us is the camps, if we are lucky.
Don't give up, just recogize which battles can be won. Battles for the institutions cannot. Battles backed by newly created institutions, on home turf, with local community backing, can.
