 The Most Dangerous Force in the World in 2023 (in one sentence)

The most dangerous and divisive force in the world right now is the apparently complete lack of awareness on the part of self-styled, developed-world “liberals” (which I quote because the version of “liberalism” or “progressivism” that pertains now has nothing whatsoever to do with the principles, values, and priorities of what was called “liberalism” up to about 2016) that their program of “inclusiveness” and “diversity” enforced in practice by the most extreme measures of censorship, persecution, marginalization, and even criminalization of any speech and thought that doesn’t conform to their preferred narratives is ouroborosly hypocritical and entirely self-negating.
