FWIW its working in my game. I had 2% Pacifist pop in my cap who are gone now and swapped to Spiritualist.

What type of empire are you?

It was always possible for pops to swap, it was just (and still is) extremely unlikely. You might have just gotten lucky. I was suppressing a 15% spiritualist faction in my empire for 50 years and it only increased. It should have been decreasing even without me suppressing if we are meant to go off the ethic attraction number.

Maybe the supression isn't working?

Suppressing/Promoting faction actions are not working enough or at all --> not fixed yet

Did you consider that it doesn't align with your natural pop growth?
When I leave everything on default Mil is 25% - Spi is 75%. During 5 years of suppressing Milltarist my Spiritualist grew to 79%.

If ethics attraction was working properly then population growth should make ethics should move to the expected distribution quicker, not slower.

Some of my tests I didn't promote/suppress any faction for the duration and the results were the same.

I know there are two factions, but I've never noticed having both of them at the same time.
From what I understand, if you have Xeno pops in your empire, they'll embrace the isolationist faction, whereas your main pops will embrace supremacy faction. This happens a lot if you conquer a planet with Xenophobics and allow them some form of freedom.

So if you have a lot of xeno pops, yeah, it's gonna be tough to embrace Xenophobia.
