Perhaps what is most irksome about all this astroturfed activism is how it is always limited to the same few woke concerns. There is rarely any deviation from the causes of ‘trans rights’, ‘mental-health awareness’, ‘anti-racism’ and ‘climate change’. There are surely thousands of injustices that are worth fighting against, but don’t fit into these limited categories.

Let’s be honest, none of these causes has bubbled to the surface due to popular anger or concern. Their prominence is clearly not the result of grassroots activism or hard-fought struggles. Rather, they are the pet causes of an elite. They are top-down impositions, shoved down the throats of the long-suffering public.

Ordinary people are absolutely right to bristle at all this astroturfed politics.
