The concept of "doing the work" in anti-racism training is linked to the "over-socialization" described in Ted Kaczynski's manifesto, *Industrial Society and Its Future*. The phrase is identified as a code word for adopting specific ideological frameworks, such as those found in the book *White Fragility*. This process is compared to 1970s sensitivity training and "Est" (Erhard Seminars Training), where participants are pressured to conform to a group identity.
