I've been trying to talk less about woke culture war stuff lately because the debates are cancer, but I *still* am pretty worried about the larger effect it's having on our society and consider it maybe one of the most serious, terrifying problems in the US right now.

I really don't like those either, I think it's a bad overreaction that ultimately make the problem worse, but to be clear those laws are not what I consider to be the biggest problem facing the US

for example, diversity being a mandatory thing for research, science, academia, etc. and the complete inability (from inside the system) to criticize this.

The debate makes me unhappy. But should I avoid it for that reason; or are these things I need to be unhappy about? On the whole, I think the latter.

Perhaps the question is not (only) whether to talk about the culture war, but ✨how✨:

naming problems is the same as defining problems and the meta-problem is that problems are hard to define. what the left calls fascism is what the right calls woke. both are symptoms of the same thing: a rapid decay of aggregate psychological safety. extremism is being normalized

"it's not that you're wrong... it's just that you're not right, either"
Both sides seem incapable of zooming out far enough.
