The problem, as I see it, is that those running society are attempting to "take over" the natural world and replace it with a curated, sanitized, version of reality written by themselves. Because of this, it becomes necessary for them to account for everything which exists in their falsified narrative. So now there is a contrived conflict being presented to the population, to attempt to force people to choose between either accepting every perverse notion under the sun as an open part of society, or to wield the technological powers being created to dictate everyone's lives to an extreme degree. The common thread running through it all being the technocrats/false gods asserting that they WILL take over, and as long as people continue to follow their narratives their plan progresses.
Exactly. It's people who can't deal with a shifting, human, social reality and need everything to be handled in an academic or litigious manner. They can't hear something they don't like and go, "man, that guy is a dick," and move on. There has to be a rule or regulation they can use to eliminate the thing they don't like to curate their experience just like the way the algorithm does for their social media feed. The slightest anxiety means the system is failing.
Not everything needs to be codified. "Soft" pressures like did a fantastic job of self-regulating things. Moving away from that to an explicit, game-rules approach to society has been a disaster.

The reason for this is that "power" has been more and more removed from the common man's hand, leading to him being unable to remove the thorns from his own palm. A simple example is that I can't just smack the shit out of the local loudmouth talking shit to shut him up like for most of human history, the government/law has removed my power to do so. So I am left with this thorn in my hand and am forced to instead petition the government to use the power it has taken from me to do so instead.
You can see this across so many corners of society. You can't fix your own machine, it has to be a Certified Tech. You can't sell food, you need FDA Approval. On and on.
So people have forgotten that they have the power to begin with, and instead remain paralyzed by the real consequences there can be to use it. Its why the CEO shooting last week was so wildly popular, because it resonated with everyone by subverting that feeling of helplessness.
I used to be pro LGB.
I still have nothing against the concept but that was the first one to get corrupted.
Don't hate on people for what they believed, question what it was that made them drop support for it.
