I reject the premise of the OP's heartfelt cringes

Might be worth changing this to president/dictator/actor in the OP*In Ukraine itself, their president/dictator Zelenski...
Possibly the "normalization" of cybernetic implants, like microchips and brain-computer-interfaces?At least that's what I hope, because if there's no stopping Woke you wonder what comes next, the normalization of pedophila?
a YT comment said:Does anybody else long for the simple days when actors acted, singers sang and athletes just played the damn game ?
Millions of Americans now wholly embrace the Great Replacement, which was once seen as the domain of neo-Nazis and people screaming about Jews, all because Tucker Carlson sold it. Attacks on affirmative action and critical race theory are more mainstream than ever. The ADL and SPLC are increasingly regarded as far-left activists instead of neutral observers of racism. You underestimate the potential of people to rediscover racism as a valid part of this world instead of just a bogeyman associated with goose-stepping Nazis.It does kinda feel like now is the time to say "fuck it" and stop caring, they won, we lost, learn to live with it as best as you can.
It comes down to the fact that racism is ugly as fuck, the mainstream will never accept it no matter what, it's no surprise that as the mainstream honestly thought racism was in danger of hurting people they decided to make it loud and clear that it won't be tolerated.
Trump came right out of the gate making a pretty racist statement about Mexicans and from now until forever he soiled himself and spoiled himself and will never get mainstream support because of it no matter what he does or how much he later tried or tries to walk it back.
Mainstream society doesn't want the dude in the hood or the skinhead or the Nao Nazi, you will never get anywhere in life if that's the path you go down, they don't want you, you are rejected by every single institution utterly.
Like I said over in the SJW thread, I think the word "racism" is best left dropped.a bogeyman associated with goose-stepping Nazis
If everything is "racist", then nothing is?
Like I said, I think "discrimination" and words for "discrimination" ("racism", "sexism", etc) should be dropped. They can easily lead to identity politics - or even thinking that there can be no differences at all, which really fits with a cybernetic hive. Such words can also imply "all of a kind are alike", and that commie "collective punishment" mentality. And of course the meaning of such words can be ridiculously broad, to the point where crossword puzzles can be "bigoted", or other BS.
(also such words are modern inventions from what I can tell)
If something really is what could be called some buzzword for "discrimination", it could be called "being a jerk" or "bad" or something like that instead. And of course, depending on what's involved, it can be debatable whether or not the act really is bad - instead of buzzwords intended as a "thought-terminating cliche" to shut down debate. For example, if a guy claims "women shouldn't be seen in public", that could be called "wow what a dick" instead of "sexist" - no implied identity politics there.
tl;dr: I can see why SJWs like using endless buzzwords for "discrimination": they fit a woke worldview, and can discourage debate.
