Is it really “society” encourages activists to act like infants? I don’t know any private people in my life that approve of infantile behavior from adults, much less encourage it.
We used to have a popular term called “nanny state” that fits well in this discussion.
You choose your circles and can be selective about who you let in. I've met plenty of adults some 50+ who reason worse than many 15 year olds.
I've seen this escalate in media for many years, where loud childish points are celebrated. One current example is how republicans are "weird", and repeated by everyone for the last week, and a talking point even in international media (I'm not from the US). That's the story I'm told about US elections, that democrats think republicans are weird.
And everything that catches our attention will be repeated since they see it working and this destructive cycle continues. The idiocracy is here.
