Can WE really be blamed? Idk how old you guys are, but this started way before I had a say. The “progressive” hellscape stuff started as the 1990s, watch movies from that time and you’ll already see modern talking points of these people forming, though at the time it centered more around homosexuals and the “old racist guy becomes progressive” trope as opposed to what we have now, Unless you were born in the 1970s at the earliest, I doubt you really have a say in the cultural direction.
Plenty of us weren’t even alive in the 90s, let alone old enough to make any real change. The only people who can be blamed are, of course, the boomers and Gen X. Millennials definitely contributed but they were also kind of raised into this so I’m not sure they were ever given a chance to know a different world to what was before. The only ones TRULY to blame, however, is those who advocated for this stuff and those who did not push back when it was small enough to be snuffed out.
We simply live in the aftermath of this societal nuke that we (or most of us, I’m sure a few of you are OLD!) never even saw fall. The best we can hope for now is for the pendulum to swing back, and hope it doesn’t make a trip back to the other side by the time our children grow up.
