> And more importantly, I am living with peace of mine. Nobody is annoying me with insane politics. I don't care about BLM, don't care about feminism, don't care about MGTOW, don't care about gender theory, don't care about white privilege, don't care about whether men can get pregnant or not.
How does location affect you on this front? You could care or not about any of these things regardless of location.

The only "normal" ppl are the ones you don't know well enough :-)
In my home country it's not possible to avoid it. 80% of the tech companies have diversity/inclusion meeting/committees where you have to discuss how to hire more women or POC.
I just want to work with good engineers. I don't consider having or lacking a vagina to be a useful metric. And I take no pleasure working in an environment where black people are being shown around as "see, we are so inclusive, we even have black people in our company".
We have pride month, had LGBT/BLM events on the streets, talks about how women are being paid 20% less than men, the white privilege rhetoric is everywhere.
It's impossible to avoid, and all of this circus is impeding my capacity to think clearly. The easiest solution I found is to vote with my feet and move. I enjoy living in developing countries, there are more concrete problems to solve, it's intellectually refreshing.
i don't think you can. it's not like i go out looking for the next big thing to get worked up about, I'm just bombarded with it.
even if i somehow avoid media, my fellow humans will bw talking about it.
