Racism is being amplified, and I've personally noticed it since they turned Trayvon vs Zimmerman from a story that should have never left local news into a nationwide race baiting. Since then it's only been amplified.

Most MSM trashes white people, trashes men, any sort of masculinity. It's reminiscent of the whole "fear the brown people!" after 9/11. And before that, I was either too young (or not born) to see the ever-shifting scapegoat, the "boogieman" demographic.

In the end, it seems activism shifts from blaming ORGANIZATIONS and INDIVIDUALS to blaming DEMOGRAPHICS. Weaponized identity politics is the most effective, cultural gas-lighting brainwashing operation I've seen in my lifetime. White vs black vs yellow, woman vs man vs other, straight vs gay, blah blah blah.

And then you get people turning politics into their religion, worshiping themselves as Gods of moral superiority.

And then another thread in the shit-tapestry of society...the counter-culture devolving into internet meme culture. A bunch of fashionable autists acting like SpongeBob Squarepants on a period, petulant, narcissistic brats that revel in their intentional incompetence, smug irony, and incapability of ever breaking character.
