i think this is basically what has happened a big chunk of the american pundit class
One of my best friends is from a sleepy, wealthy small town in the south-west of Germany. He said, so many of my parents’ neighbours are rich and bored, with little to complain about, and they’ve radicalised themselves at dinner parties and online. In their aimlessness, they’ve bonded over hate.
This isn’t some rant saying “Germany has learned nothing from its past” - the reality is more subtle than that. Middle-class Germans live and travel with an incredible amount of ease and comfort, and they just got…sleepy. Many of them dismissed the far-right’s rage as just another set of complaints.

In the 1920s there would have been wildly antisemitic linotype political cartoons about Wokey Wokenstein telling farmers that they can't call their tools "hoes" because it's offensive

Now that all media is streamed the streaming companies can effectively erase movies, albums and books from the public record for a tax write off too and when spotify does this I implore them to delete eve6 instead of the toadies
The part of George Orwell’s 1984 that everyone forgets is how the music and publishing industries have been replaced by a machine that spits out songs and bad novels “without any human intervention.” The goal is to keep you from ever having to think.

I love that AI is now being slotted into the "some people can't" disability space. it's the apotheosis of that kind of brainless counterfactual, where a theoretical disability makes behavior acceptable, but the thing they're doing also doesn't even work.
