As the pendulum swings back from woke ideologies, what do you think the next dogmatic social doctrine will be?

[SomothErgai]

The culture is beginning to shift away from wokeness. But we never can go very long without a new issue to blow out of proportion and fight about. My Money is on Veganism.

Veganism/Animal Rights

Universal Basic Income

Artificial Intelligence

Robotics

Healthcare

Climate Change

Something Else

Moonies. The left will drift towards spiritual awakenenss, connecting to the universe, maybe killing themselves so that they can get a new life on the other side of some asteroid... like some nutty group did decades ago.

That aside, hopefully we are financiall solid country, peace and stability reigh, we get back to caring for others in our communities and building good real relationships with people, enjoying food together, helping those whove fallen down... retraining so people can get other jobs, etc.

there's a lot that will be important to do after the upcoming purge. We have to remain compassionate and empathetic in spite of the brutal government chopping.

It would be nice if we could direct leftist campaigning into an actually helpful field.

What the left is really going to want to champion next is going to be illegal immigrants again. But that's not popular anymore so they may not get too much headway there again.

So their focus will largly remain on women's 'rights' IE no family cat ladies who are by such choice competently distroying their own families and culture.

After that UBI is likely to get legs for economic reasons in reaction to AI even thou we know exactly what the results will be. It won't last as long because financially it is a disaster with almost no benefit.

[SomothErgai]

Yeah I just don't see these social grievance talking points making a come back. they pushed too hard, too fast, and too extreme. people are fed up and they won't be having any of that in the future. UBI is a good bet. the rise of AI simply IS going to take over most human labor. there will be nothing for anyone to do for money. so the option is either have money go away as a concept/just give people money for nothing, or have a few billion people lose access tot he rest of the world.

I just don't see that happening

Something along the lines of legal system, court dates and prison time. Then it will "swing back" to sanity.

[Astarlessnightsky]

All of them are really important issues, but at first we must stop the loss of all the important isssues our ancestors fought for during the last centuries. Just Trumps first week destroyed so many of them and its important we watch out it stops NOW and the rest of the world stays stable and safe.

[FunkyMonkee]

All of the animals I eat are vegetarians! So, in a roundabout way, I AM a vegetarian!

[SomothErgai]

... yep, checks out

[SmokinAces2000]

I think we might see an increasing interest in white supremacy

[SomothErgai]

based on?

[SmokinAces2000]

Typically anything that’s anti white supremacy is labeled woke

[SomothErgai]

no it's more like calling everything white supremacy in order to have something to complain about is woke.

[SmokinAces2000]

I’ve heard people say that teaching slavery in schools is woke so I don’t think it has anything to do with complaining

[SomothErgai]

and i've heard people say that being on time is white supremacy. so i think it kinda does

[Anonymous]

The next dogmatic social doctrine will be common sense.

[SomothErgai]

i truly do not know what you mean by that

[Opinion Owner]

My point, or perhaps my wish, was that common sense would prevail for a change, thereby obviating any silly new dogmatic social doctrines.

[SomothErgai]

id prefer critical thinking and reasoning over common sense but yeah. that's a fight i could get behind for sure. but the thing is, critical thinking by it's very nature cannot be dogmatic or doctrinal. it's pretty much the exact opposite actually
