Im on the exact same boat as you even though im personally a little bit less edgy. I think the alienation from your identity, gender, race and so on into a political and specially a marketing too is absolutely dystopic, as if you're just not allowed to be black anymore without having to be part of some wider american centric concept of black culture or that as a woman I should stand for every last woman ever no matter how shitty they are. Personally I can easily reconcile my gripes with the modern left by rightfully claiming the CIA steered it into this position to try and disable socialism from happening again. Socialism is easily one of the most historically persecuted ideologies of all time and I just believe the elite figured out the ideal way to counter it wouldn't be by the use of violence (as they were doing up until the 70s) but by blending into them and destroying it from the inside. Now big Hollywood movies preach this oversimplified version of class war with superheros and moral righteousness while most modern leftists are really just looking to have a moral high horse on others rather than bringing about real change. Zizek himself claims this is the defining trait of the modern left, endless moralising without worrying about real issues beyond the idea of looking pretty by worrying about them. Socialism was never explicitly about empathy or being morally right and those things can activly stand in the way of it working, as seen with idk those retarded anti gun activists who claim to be revolutionaries at the same time
I don't really have historical backing for this beyond the fact the people who spread this type of drivel are usually american or very in favor of them so it's probably some CIA shit, just coincidences and noooticing
