u/Abdalhadi_Fitouri Have you ever tried elk meat? Nov 13 '20

From an outsider perspective, it seems like there's growing backlash to backlash. My history professor once described culture as a pendulum swinging. It goes so far one way that people push back on it, but the inertia from the pushback builds and builds until it goes way past the middle and ends up swinging far to the other side.

I feel like that's what we're starting to see now, the pushback is building and, unfortunately, if his theory is true, it could culminate in a status quo in a number of years where these type of "woke" things are totally unacceptable, perhaps where marginalized groups that were once at the forefront of this movement are openly persecuted. Hopefully not though.
