In the future, historians will talk about this period in history the same way we talk about the Salem witch trials, Stalin's reign of terror or Mao's cultural revolution.

Things like transgenderism or phobia will be just examples of this polarization in the West, but they will much more focus on things like social media or free speech vs. limited speech.
