A lot of people are talking about social structures and conflicts in Africa, I think. The time where it's inappropriate is when used as a deflection from discussing one's own current situation and its historical roots. That's disingenuous and also frustrating. Just an internet stranger's opinion, but I also think it might be worth engaging with some of these ideas a little more before writing them off, since it sounds like you share a position I once had - annoyed by 'problematic' stuff everywhere, for instance - and furthermore share an apparent misunderstanding of postmodernism with the Jordan Peterson crowd. But you can take a critical eye to the power structures and ways of thinking of the past, and their implications for our social structures today, without screeching or hysteria. At least be open to it :)
