It's appeared to me, lately, that you can't escape the relentless politicization of everything. From HR diversity camps (at work) to sports Twitter (at play), we can't get away from the political. The political as a personal thing has become ever-present in everything we do. And there's never an honest discussion about the issues with reasoned opinions. There is only one acceptable answer, and that is of the original sin of existing. Where religion was once front and center in the public square, now politics pervades every pastime, every reach out into the world. We've become so obsessed with the securing of individual "rights" through identity politics that the playbook is omnipresent. But here's the thing: We get it.
Your (Group X) feels marginalized or beaten down in some (Adjective Y) way because of (Action Z). The pointing to the entire system of things is a convenient way to charge everything with (Animus A) towards (Group X). It allows for relentless harping and scolding, never mind the subtle lectures lurking around every corner, including that of entertainment. It also allows for people who want a different system to provide cover for communists, anarchists, and socialists to lurk within their ranks and "#### up the system" with a nebulous righteousness that taxes our democratic norms. This is neither beneficial for the country nor for individuals.
The sad thing is, most people don't need the constant grievance lecture. I certainly am aware of many (Action Zs) affecting (Group Xs), I just either agree with the status quo, think the charge is erroneously leveled, rank order it very low on my scheme of daily things, or just plain old don't ####### care.
So from the internet to Twitter to entertainment to family to sports, please ####### spare me your grievance lecture.
That is all.
