This is pretty true. And not only is silence considered "violence" by activists, polite disagreement is also "violence". And then they go "well you're being violent therefor I can respond with *actual*, physical violence". This is an extremely dangerous concept to capitulate to.

I think this is all a sign that when a society becomes extremely abundant and prosperous, and everyone's lives are generally comfortable, people lose a sense of purpose and create pseudo-religious ideologies to give them a sense of identity. It's really pretty understandable. Like, people in the congo aren't exactly concerned about pronouns at the moment.
