Count yourself lucky. Seriously.
These people totally exist. For instance: I have an white 20-something acquaintance who posted a photo of a decoration [1] he either made or received that was all full stuff like "In this house we fight cisgendered heteropatriarchy." They are very dogmatic and enthralled by a pseudo-religious ideology complete with devils (e.g. whiteness), saints (e.g. feminism), forms of penitent flagellation, etc.
> It seems like that's the real problem now - it's not whether or not these problems exist, or whether they're worth fighting, but rather to what extent they should be fought.
Or whether the battle should be led by monomaniacal ideologues.
If you can't tell, I'm not one of these people, but I spent a lot of time around them (and am pretty exhausted from it).
[1] the decoration was basically a parody of this: https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/House-Rules-Family-Quote-In-This-House-We-Do-Real-We-Forgive-We-Love-Wall-Decal/1424253_32269911205.html https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/House-Rules-Family-...
