Unity is strength, not diversity. But this is what the left have done for decades. They cook up fake buzzwords and empty feel good phrases to mask the awfulness of what they're actually trying to do.

Diversity becomes a strength.

Illegal aliens become migrants.

Pro-murder becomes pro-choice.

Free speech becomes hate speech.

Patriotism becomes racism/xenophobia.

When you control language, you control the narrative and eventually the entire culture. That's why our catch phrases and memes scare the shit out of them. We need to keep telling it like it is, take back the language and call a spade a spade

Its mostly Hollywood and the MSM, and big companies that have conformed to that type of language. The main priority for the folks in charge of these large corporate entities is appealing to the largest consumer base possible in order to make as much money as possible, and by extension, they don't want to "offend anyone" who might buy their products.

In reality, I think the vast majority of Americans couldn't give a shit one way or anther(ex. only about 35% of woman consider themselves "feminists") I have lots of extremely liberal friends who laugh at jokes that would get them fired if revealed publicly, and honestly as long as your not either a complete asshole/a celebrity the "Me Too' stuff shouldn't be something to worry about. Most of the loud, obnoxious people who are super anal about controlling free speech are young, and love it because for them its a power trip in a world where they are basically powerless.

The free love movement of the 1960's collapsed when youths realized all drugs and no work was not a sustainable way of life, and similarly millennials will quickly abandon their extremist beliefs once they enter the workforce and realize that not all men are rapists and not all ethnic minorities are saints. Violent groups like Antifa are a problem, but unless you are a well known right wing public figure you shouldn't ever have to worry about them. For now companies and politicians are making big bucks riding the wave of woke(and the wave of "anti woke") but the great thing about a free market economy is you can always buy from someone else and vote for somebody else.

Given that its a cultural phenomenon that is out of the control of any individual, I think its best to dismiss it for what it is - a phase.

Millennials are now 40 years old. Your position is in need of revision.

Millennials are generally between 25-40 years old. What I meant was that as people get older, they usually abandon extremist views in order to focus on more practical concerns. As you have pointed out, some Millennials already entered the workforce quite some time ago. In my experience those people usually abandoned extremist social views to focus on their career. Sorry for the confusion.
