subtoot, political
@rune I don't think they are, honestly, at least most of them; the impression I get is that it's just a movement that has (in recent decades anyway) mostly become about aesthetics rather than effects, because of a combination of repression and having it relatively good otherwise.
So a lot of the things it 'fights' against have felt theoretical for a long time, diversity has historically been bad, and there's just no healthy community culture that's (reliably) capable of introspecting and reflecting.
There are exceptions, but a few individuals do not make a healthy movement, and I've seen a number of them burn out already because of the general apathy of the broader movement.
