Maybe the problem is your radar. I understand that extreme ends of the social spectrum are frustrating for people supposedly not caught up in whatever the thing is, especially if it’s off topic, but if “anything” sets it off, you might consider recalibrating.

People taking offense to every damned thing, not accepting apologies or remediation, hijacking conversations about an off topic politicized issue, or other similar disruptive behavior is one thing, but people standing up for themselves or asking for a little common courtesy and respect like anyone else sounds reasonable to me. If someone, not necessarily you, were to lump both of those people together and dismiss, participate in bad behavior, or fail to hold others accountable for it, then they would be the problem, and are generally why exhaustive and/or “woke” reactions are born.



Your comment has very little to do with what I wrote.
