I don't understand modern Western politics on any level. It seems as if it's just completely been co-opted by some force that's trying to make it as inscrutable and counterproductive as possible.

We're supposed to accept arbitrary genders, stop eating meat, stop driving cars, stop using cash, etc. But oh, let's ban cryptocurrency, because we can't have diversity in anything that actually matters.

These people are in another galaxy from me. Every justification they give for everything, to me feels like a reason to do completely the opposite.

It's utterly insane.
