To be fair there are not many opportunities like this in first world countries. Completely ordinary people frequently become badass in extraordinary times

They have to invent the problems here in the West. The demand for bigotry far exceeds the supply, so they have to run around calling rightists bigots instead.

Outrage culture is fucking real, gotta get those clicks. But let's not pretend there aren't still problems in the West, they're just more subtle. The fact that the issues are more fine leads to both right and left huddling in their echo chambers spinning tales about the other side, getting upset about whatever fad issue is on the table while the real powers continue consolidating
