Merry Xmas!
It feels like a deep intake of breath before going all out terror, tbh.
But am feeling very pessimistic.

I must know a lot of exceptional young people.

It’s more likely you know a skewed sample of young people who present you with a filtered view of things for a host of reasons.
But I guess it also hinges on what you meant by “woke”. The young people I know have no time for racism or homophobia (and I’m also subject to biases of sampling etc. obv).
Here are some fairly recent survey results from your neck of the woods - the increasing gender diversion is a bit startling:

Yes, the gender divide has been going on for a while and becoming worse. Several teachers I know attribute it to some of the You-tube and Tik-Tok content out there aimed at making boys think they're victims. There's also a wide and growing divide between urban and rural people as rural areas have been left behind economically.

I think at least from that particular graph the divergence starts early enough for it to possibly be a case of the phenomenon creating a market for the content rather than the content causing the phenomenon, though feedback loops and similar can happen.
Something also definitely happens in the 18 months leading up to Trump’s election..

Weight is meaningless
With young men I suspect some of it is self-reinforcing bullshit but with a potential shelf life of "this isn't actually helping me, is it." Feel like a teenage failure, cast around for easy answers, find Tate and co. Follow Tate teachings, get rejected by women for sounding like a sociopath, blame women rather than Tate, dive further into incel trash theory ... And for young women it's not exactly a difficult line to follow from shitty experiences with reactionary guys supporting legislation destroying your rights to "there's got to be some better ideas than this."

However you feel about Donald Trump, there's no justification for threatening a 17-year-old minor:
www.theguardian.com
Personally, I think Baron will grow up to be a chip off the old block, but we should remember that isn't a certainty, and he is still a minor. He could grow up and reject everything about his family. I doubt that, but no one should give him reason to become more like his father.

Rudy Giuliani defamed former Georgia election workers, a federal judge rules
Giuliani conceded that he had made "false" statements about a mother and daughter who sued him for baselessly claiming that they had committed fraud in the 2020 election.
www.nbcnews.com
A federal judge on Wednesday ruled that Rudy Giuliani defamed former Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and her daughter, Wandrea "Shaye" Moss, and is liable for damages after he failed to comply with discovery obligations in their lawsuit over his baseless claims that they had committed fraud during the 2020 election.
A civil trial will be held to determine the amount of damages.
i hope it's $1,000,000,000,000.

Arson fire at California Target. They set it in the children's section. So much for caring about the welfare of children:
How much you wanna bet that Target forgets about Pride Month next year?

I thought they had withdrawn certain items (that had sent some people a bit potty) some months ago.
Some of them were children’s items, though, which might explain the children’s section being targeted.

They did. They also moved most of the display to the back of the store. Next year, if there's any pride merch, it will be sold online, I'm sure. I did see that their merch had sold well online, despite the controversy.

Seems a bit foolhardy given what’s happening. I guess if enough of them are saying similar things there’s a feeling of impunity.

I'd say it's a safe assumption to make. White supremacists are the biggest domestic terror threat in the US. Why do you insist on coming out with this idiotic centrist "both sides" crap when this kind of shit is so obviously one-sided?
