Has it been building up over time? Did it blow up all at once? What other factors are involved? I don't know.
For the left being in a weaker position means you are virtuous so Israel and jews are going to be the evil oppressor no matter what Hamas does. This in turn put the spotlight all the privilege Jews have in US while also playing victims.
For the right or even centrists, we had anti-white racism in overdrive and no GOP even mentions it, I think Trump mentioned it for the first time recently. But anti-semitism is a mortal sin?!? They may not have intended it but the optics is that the Jews and the interests of Israel are more important to the GOP then the main voter base being treated like second class citizens.
I agree with the second part but asking questions is still need it for critical thinking, it is the first step. What his boss was saying was not to question.
Things are going to get a lot worse for the DW if they want to go this route.
I don't like google searches as data point. ROP was considered a great success at the time because a company calculated the amount of searches but it turns out that if a game or movie sucks while having high expectations searches go up.
White Latinos may as well be just white, DEI care about how many POC they have in their company photos. This does not stop white latinos from voting left, same with a lot of Asians.
Funniest part was the shift from being the descendants of conquistadors to being poor oppressed natives and how many of them just changed from identifying as white to identifying as POC.
Leftists at work are just like internet leftists. You are better not interacting with them or you will eventually get to HR.
In my personal life I have mostly center left, anti-Trump, pro-feminism, pro-current thing normies. If confronted they do admit that affirmative action is bad or that immigration is not that great, they will never admit it to other people because that makes them look bad. They think themselves superior to "bigoted right-wingers" in both intelligence and virtue.
However, after several rants from me they still include me in outings and even vacations and we no longer engage in politics.
I've also seen them move to the right on immigration and identity politics but they will always vote left because the right is the absolute evil and for dumb, poor people.
co-op looks to be successful. Once they see that they are going to run it in to the ground.
Aren't they already doing that with most games? Games get easier and easier. I was recently playing Dark Envoy and the hard mode was easier then I would expected normal to be. It also had 3 easier difficulty levels.
If you are a soy drinking diversity hire who has been told that any negative experience is genocide then you get the modern gaming where the difficulty of finishing a game is boredom.
