To endorse the claim that Christians are being backed into a corner and then not give any examples is pretty much a textbook example of "arguing" in bad faith.
How so?

Surely, some traditional hierarchies must be flawed, even if others are sound. It follows that overturning the flawed ones is a worthy goal.

Your 2nd paragraph is extremely vague, such that there is nothing to engage. Perhaps that is exactly what you aim for in your posts here?
i. Hierarchies are always in flux to some degree, and they do change naturally to fit the times. Indeed, every hierarchy that we now have that wields political power is thoroughly modern.

Which leads us back to how cultural Marxism is hypermodernity because it wants all of the heirarchies to undergo another transition, and to be born in a new ideology that is defined by hard egalitarianism and Rogerian humanism.

ii. I actually want us to be able to discuss the topics in-depth instead of jousting over "rights" and "examples," especially with doubled-digit IQs eagerly inserting themselves over arguments about wedding cakes.

You are seeking to take the shallowest approach possible by making sweeping, sneering declarations about people with whom you disagree and then you run away mumbling pompously when asked to substantiate them. You have been doing it here for years.

You said "The rights are the right to run one's business the way one pleases, and to not engage in actions one finds immoral."

If the iconic "wedding cake" case is not an example of what you are referring to, just say so.

If you are unable to flesh out your assertions and pretend instead that not doing so is somehow "deep", it makes you look silly when you try - as you so often do - to disguise your shallowness with a smokescreen of pretentious comments about people's IQs and THIER supposed bad faith.

If there is none worthy of a discussion, then why bother coming here?

Cultural Marxism does not have to explicitly be Marxist in the sense that it is clearly connected back to an explicitly Communist ideology. It generally refers to any attempts at overturning traditional hierarchies and identities.
Was the overturning of the slave-owning economy and social order/hierarchy and the emancipation of the slaves in the C19th in the U.S. an example of "Cultural Marxism"?

There are plenty of people in these forums worthy to discuss things with, and many other still that are good for discussing a few things.

Heck, I am sure many feel I am not worthy of their time.

They are more than welcome to ignore me.

What evidence do you have that Christians are being backed into a corner?
