Again, for as long as Hollywood has existed, it has been excoriated by conservatives as a din of leftist libertines (and not without at least a bit of reason on occasion). Before that, theater performers were seen in much the same light. The moral panics stretch back time immemorial I’ve no doubt, but I can at least remember 10 years ago and there was no lack of controversy then.

That is true, but the modern leftist is against liberal values like free speech and egalitarianism. The leftists have taken up a divisive stance that puts people in a contest to be the most victimized, to get points. They literally argue that math and science are racist/sexist/whatever, want to bring back segregation, and be actively racist against people who look like a handful of bad actors in the past. They're ruining many different aspects of society, and if people don't put them in check we will be going off the rails soon.

You see, this even has echos of Red Scare era hysteria. It's hardly anything novel.
