Let's not do what leftists do and assume that everything happened first with us. 'Culture wars' have happened since mankind figured out reading and writing was an efficient way of recording knowledge. It's happened between religions, ideologies, kingdoms and empires, the only difference is how it has been fought either through force or conversion.
From a personal point, I think the left currently are done, their plans are failing more often, they are losing even acknowledgment from the normies and they are more prone to infighting than anything else. But that brings a new problem, damage control, the left unlike a lot of other failed ideologies and groups have no lifeboats, they don't have an out or a way to go back into the shadows. So they are going even harder, desperately trying to hold onto power because they know they'll face the wall (figuratively or literally) when they no longer have it.
So now it's literally a race in the west especially but all over the world to remove the leftists and their collaborators from any power before they can cause even more damage. That's my take but maybe others think the feminists win, China forms a worldwide empire or skynet takes over after having to listen to Twitter for a week. It just seems like the actions of the past 2 years especially is less of an organised, decades/century long plan and more 'throw as much shit at the wall as possible to hopefully damage our enemies'.
I think the pendulum will swing back to some degree. The problem is too many normies, and younger folk are so indoctrinated that they think absolute tolerance and compassion can run a society. They lack the ability to predict outcomes based on patterns/critical thinking. They rely completely on external narratives and validation. Their only form of expression is 'being a good boy or girl' and picking some state-sponsored pronouns to try and feel different from the lockstep mob they are in.
I'm fine with tolerance and compassion, but I can also notice when it's being taken advantage of. It's like how most boomers have no natural defense from internet/tech scams in their email/browsers, a lot of millennials and zoomers have no defense from narcissists and sociopaths. School indoctrination has hammered into them, don't stand out, don't rock the boat, go along to get along. Social media has then enshrined that tenet. Now chicks wont even call out dudes stealing their scholarships. Hey, I just stole 6 years of your life from you (training and time) but if you complain you're a Nazi.
Normies swing with the pendulum, it's what makes them normies. The same people buying into the current degenerate nonsense unquestioningly, many of them will buy into the other side's argument when the swing occurs.
It's both encouraging and depressing. These people don't think, they don't really have principles. You can't argue with them, you can't convince them. But they'll go along with what the most amplified ten percent think.
Tolerance to Communism is a weakness that can't be abided.
In the physical world, tolerances too tight leads to a machine that cannot perform its function, while tolerances too loose leads to a machine that fails catastrophically.
Not all that different from society.
There's a phrase that I've become really, really fond of as of late;
'Remember, tolerance isn't a moral absolute. It's a peace treaty. It is also not a suicide pact.'
