People have started to talk over the past few months about a sort of end of a cycle or period

(Not everyone or even mainstream media, but non-mainstream culture-watching vloggers etc.)

Two headlines randomly chosen:

‘Today’s UK is an unhappy, divided, authoritarian country’

''Kickback plot involving San Antonio doctors exposed'

Canada also the government has not even needed to but has done unconstitutional things to citizens (freezing bank accounts during Trucker Protest most notable). People in the UK consider corruption in government normal. Doctors are not allowed by the State (California) to honestly treat their patients (Covid #PIC). Doctors as a profession if they're doing a lot of drug pushing scams and things it seems pretty extended.

People have talked about the start of truth coming forward (because for the past decade or so at least there's been a strong trend away from saying true things, where there is so much firepower that can be used against people who say unpopular things (and what isn't unpopular with someone?).

Teachers in top universities (Jordan Peterson) are being 'reeducated' and having their license threatened because of things they tweeted. Opinions and statements.

High school teachers and nurses and doctors had to do vaccines or lose their jobs.

The whole Island Party thing with the recent flight list published.

People reacting against wokenss, metoo, etc. And more people expressing why.

US political debates held at 4th grade level of language, I heard, whereas in 1900 it was 11th grade level. No interesting leaders in politics (maybe Desantis? who just today showed a massive lead in the Rs).
 
Young people in large numbers (but tiny percentage, unnoticeable) buying non-smart phones for mental health.
