I felt that things started changing in the mid to late 90's. Columbine and 9/11 were big motivators. Things like "zero-tolerance" where kids would essentially get "cancelled/de-platformed" because everything was considered a weapon and threat. Helped to condition a generation that would be less willing to fight back against an oppressive system.

Besides the massive wars in the Middle East. Things were fairly chill until Obama's 2nd term when the SJW rhetoric started turning up to 11.

And this was mainly a response to Occupy Wall Street. The ruling powers would much rather have people talking about tranny bathrooms than their financial vampirism.

If you follow the money trail OWS wounded up being orchestrated by Soros to make a long story short.
