I think as woke culture gets increasingly puritanical people will increasingly miss life without it

I'm sitting here watching the Bond movie The World Is Not Enough... and in these older movies almost everything now looks politically incorrect.

Eventually people will start seeing these alternative cultures like the way things used to be and still are in many places around the world and it might break them out of this authoritarian, puritanical bubble.

Just a thought. I hope it's true ^_^

Already happening which is why more people voted for Trump than even 2016. (Not saying it's a good or bad thing just being descriptive)
You are already seeing a lot of corporations roll back their "woke" stances like Facebook removing their 3rd party moderation teams and vastly changing their ToS to allow different forms of speech that were previously banned. (of course you still aren't allowed to criticize jews)
It's was never really popular in general, was always a vocal minority that supported it, it's just that those people were the ones in power so it was being pushed from the top down.
My main concern is that everything is going to be a shallow victory where everything is still horribly wrong under the surface but nobody speaks up about it since it feels better to pretend we are winning, while white people continue to get fucked and replaced and do nothing about it us usual.

Yeah for sure. And yeah I guess you're right that it's already being rolled back. In America. XD

Bear in mind I am in England. We're screwed. lol

How bad is it really down there? I've seen clips of migrants coming in from boats in France, and England but I wanted to know from someone who is from England.

On the ground erm... hm. It's pretty strange.

- since 2021 there have been ambulances everywhere
- since 2022 there have been police everywhere and they seem stricter too
- since 2023 there's been lots of aeroplane noise due to changes to their ascent/descent supposedly due to climate change
- in 2024 they cracked down more on social media posts

Also yeah lots of diversity everywhere. And those "progressive pride" flags (or whatever they're called) are pretty common too.


Edit -- Oh and sugar is taxed, tobacco is hidden from view, and alcohol is heavily taxed.
