is rather mild in the scheme of things and is probably much less than the same left would be censored by the people it currently censors if that group was in power
My personal rebuttal to this is always something like ' yes - it is very bad that my grandparents went through the Holocaust in Poland, it is bad that my parents lived through communism in Poland, but it still sucks for me personally that I have to pretend a man is somehow a woman, or that I have to pretend everyone in the US is my equal, or that ... ' so yuh, its relatively mild - but it's still living in unreality, and it's still bothersome.
Tipper Gore is the reason my CD's had parental advisory stickers and the left is the reason tweets and podcasts and truthteller marks are all over everywhere telling us wrong facts.
Zero.
I have a friend who has been suicidally depressed all of his life. After he had covid twice, possibly three times (we all did - meaning my friend group), he now had all the symptoms that he's always had but blamed it on long covid while I politely kept silent.
I do think people who were / are overly worried about covid probably now have more depressive symptoms but I just don't know any of these people. I live in South Florida - not the culture.
Also, no one I associate with is getting their energy sapped from culture war fights. That's just a mega online thing that mostly doesn't happen in real life. Note however that I'm not saying the culture war hasn't exploded into our modern lives over the last decade, it's just different than what you're referring to here.
