I'm basically in that place. I'm also a social democrat, yet I'm seen myself distanced from the left, be it parties, social movements and so on, as they seem to embrace this more and more. I also studied sociology so I can spot the BS from miles ahead, even from people who pretends to be thoughtful and so on. The problem is that my threshold for this BS has become so low that I'm basically rolling my eyes every time I see it on TV, press or anywhere else. It looks like the media is really pushing for it, be it because of profits or some conspiracy-agenda. Sometimes it causes me anger to see how people is completely distracted from very deep problems that we have to face, be my country or the whole humanity. I even lost contact with some lefty "friends" and acquaintances because of my stances on this, which I found very sad. It made me avoid to talk about politics, which was something I talked with everyone in the past.
