I wish it were... but a generation of young adults who had iPhones at 10, who spent part of high school or their first year of college in lockdown, stressed, disconnected, entirely dependent on likes and followers etc for their self worth... and then when finally put on campuses to live and study with each other, they're divided by race and privilege and gender and encouraged to be neurotic and confrontational, to howl down or get fired anyone that makes them uncomfortable... but never fear!--there's the platoon of DEI mommies to tell them what simplistic narrative applies to every situation--what the correct terms and labels are--and who to hate. It's so tiresome to bring up what happened in 1933 in Germany again, but the parallels are chilling. Victor Klemperer, from his "Language of the Third Reich:" "Language does not simply write and think for me, it also increasingly dictates my feelings and governs my entire spiritual being the more unquestioningly and unconsciously I abandon myself to it... Words can be like tiny doses of arsenic; they are swallowed unnoticed, appear to have no effect, and then after a little time the toxic reaction sets in after all."
It's all so mind-boggling...
