"the pictures show little boys with a bulge in their pants that looks like the outline of their genitals; in one illustration of children playing a game, one boy has his hands on a girl's chest while another pulls a girl's skirt; in another drawing, a girl's underwear is exposed as she jumps rope."

Coincidentally, I'm currently doing two online courses(Australian-based) to improve my written English. And all my written assignment to date have been around social advocacy: poverty, neoliberalism, racism.

But they're cool & not irritating at all, not as American ones are.
They engage far less in finger-pointing and in demonising Whites or the Rich for their privilege.


I think that this anti-Imperialistic/ egalitarian /reparations global movement is great, it was due time to combat the toxic neoliberal indoctrination, and replace it with a more egalitarian & inclusive one.

But to me, yours (Americans') appear to have been infiltrated by Far Leftists who are trying to settle scores or win votes.


What do Americans think of my comparison?

Practically nothing in America has been infiltrated by Far Leftists. Any real discussion of socialism is far outside the Overton Window.

yours often irritate me.

Because, while I do acknowledge that America has an underbelly of inequality (income, class, race)
of which people like me, foreigners brainwashed by Hollywood are only Now starting to be aware
and which Leftists or Democrats are rightfully trying to redress

too many times these social justice memes are being misused by corporations trying to sell things --Nike, Bezos, Victoria secret--or by croney politicians and the requisitioned media.

None of that constitutes or reflects any infiltration by far leftists. "Wokeness" is a completely different matter.
