A common perception is that communism was the boogieman for our parents / grandparents, but we won so what's the big deal?

It took me years to understand that this is very dangerous thinking.

Didn’t live thru the last time and it’s still so tiresome.

If you want to understand what's happening now and how it got to this point.. I'd highly, highly recommend James Lindsay's "Cynical Theories". Goes in depth as to how all the "x theory" ideologies were derived from post-modernism and why they are so psychopathically obsessed with infiltrating everything.

Spoiler: it festered in academia and spread from there.
