Glad to provide some insight ;-)

I was a young teen when GWB was elected, so I've watched this cycle happen twice now. I'm sure a lot of Xers have seen it thrice. It escalates every time. Post-Biden is gonna be a shitshow and a half, I can't even imagine. If we get that far...

Distractions from the real, actual boogeyman which is going to be very difficult to deal with and require us all to change our lives: climate change.

Precisely. The petro-dollars keep flowing to the billionaire class who are now playing games about leaving Earth while the rest of us boil alive arguing about idpol bullshit.

No girl, it's the opposite: an ideology, and a shit one at that.

Bingo, it's a whole lot of horseshit. All Critical theories are, but they couch themselves in so much impenetrable rhetoric and jargon that you are forced to give Cliff's Notes versions to lay-people, which are then heavily distorted to hide the actual truth (or, lack thereof) of the arguments. Postmodernism was a mistake, and not for the reason Peterson-esque conservatives think.

Ominous... what do you mean by "if we get that far"? We definitely have another four years before climate change takes us out.

Couldn't've said it better.

Climate change, more civil unrest, major natural disasters, could be a number of things - but I am being a bit hyperbolic here ;-)
