People are naturally incentivised to persist with the pursuits that give them income, status, virtue-signalling and influence (call those four things z). Consequently, there are numerous cases in the UK where the demand for some cause or ideological agenda exceeds the supply, and where it becomes prohibitively unattractive for the person to desist, even when supply actually exceeds demand. The formula is roughly this:
If x diminishes, so does y’s ability to obtain z (income, status, virtue-signalling and influence). Therefore, with ever-diminishing x, the category definition of x must enlarge to fill y’s demand for z
You can probably see what I mean when I give examples of x, but it may not be an obvious way to think about the world for everyone. So, here are some:
Racism
Sexism
Misogyny
Economic injustice
Unjust inequality
Unfair discrimination in the workplace
Hate incidents
Climate alarmism and fears of doom
Off the top of my head, these seem like the obvious ones. If we call all those things x, then we know they exist in small quantities or in meagre degrees in the UK, but they are nothing like the narrative the y groups would have you believe. So, to keep the agenda alive, and justify continued institutional or tribal existence, they try to convince you to tool up because we are fighting against giants, when in reality, in a civilised place like the UK, we are mobilising tribal groups to confront foes that now survive mostly as ideological phantoms.
