Having to constantly go through American left ideology pushed so far to balance the heritage of slavery and their social issues is tiring. Racism isn't really a thing in that sense (there's gypsies but that has a very different dynamic). Gender stuff feels way too forced.
These cultures are not comparable, these are not the burning issues in our society and yet they are pushed to the forefront of attention.
Meanwhile we have the most systemically corrupt governments (these guys don't even do the overt things like industry engagement and speeches after their term, our former PM is in jail for straight out taking bribes in a privatisation scandal, mayor of the capital was collecting bribes for standard city functions for 20 years, the only reason this got to public attention was he died before getting re-elected, and this is endemic in all levels of society)
Pushing on social agendas gives ammo to corrupt politicians to spin the story away from the important stuff and fight a strawman.
