Less tolerant, I also notice it with myself.
I love to read. I used to have cool dates talking about books. I haven't had one of those since 2018!
Now when I talk about books, I get lectured what a racist male supremacist I am for not reading Toni Morrison or similar. (I had this happen to be like 10x times in the last few years) It's insane. I can't even enjoy my hobbies anymore without them being weaponized against me for not being 'woke' enough or something. Or I get told reading anything other than business self-help books is 'a waste of time because it is not productive'.
God forbid I just.. enjoy books because I like stories and it's fun. No, now if you read it has to be for some political virtue signalling thing or for 'self improvement'.
