How do you know this is not being fueled by foreign actors? Tik tok, obviously is a Chinese platform that espouses plenty of gender identity ideology, and I imagine China loves Americans being preoccupied with such pointless aims. I'm sure a number of countries would. Countries that have divisions dedicated to cyber warfare, that includes psyops too.

Someone, somewhere, and probably a lot of someones is trying to manipulate American society.

The commies infiltrated over 50 years ago. That rot you see, that's them, IMHO.

Yeah, you are right, this thing has global factors, and I have been primarily focusing on a domestic perspective.

From a purely domestic perspective, the woke stuff scares me more than the 'red scare' would have. There was a lot of fear of Russia and spies assets, which is scary, but the enemy is clearly defined, and an 'other'. Now even if this psycho woke trans shit is coming from psyop warfare, which it could very well be, I am seeing 'my own' people as the threat. Liberals, anarchists, people I considered myself one of, are becoming ideological zealots of an ideology I think is quite 'bad'. I find it demoralizing in a way that fighting against 'the russians' isn't, because I no longer feel like I'm part of any 'us', and quite frankly feel threatened by the ideology of almost everyone. I guess I feel like a critical mass of Americans, and even the corporations have embraced wokism in a way that didn't quite happen with communism

I feel they are one and the same.

Communism didn't NEED to embrace wokism that hard because the underclass was already beaten into submission by the time the regime took form, and they stayed that way. Starting from a place of freedom and individual rights though, they need to do a LOT to destroy the Western momentum in this regard.
