The great theorists of neoliberal subjectivity formation, Pierre Dardot and Christian Laval said that destroying symbolic forms brings about mass psychosis. They also called the need to normalize all forms of exotically transgressive behaviors a clinical perversion. They were equally harsh with the belief that going through sex partners like Kleenex is in any way liberating. And the idea that you can change sex through medical procedures evoked deep derision from them
That very left-wing thinkers spoke like this as recently as 2009 is truly something to ponder.

And aren’t we living in a time of mass psychosis and clinical perversion? I think we are.
When even educated people, who have read all the books and should know better, are ideologically captured and thus unable to cut through the haze of mystification and manipulation dispensed by the avatars of the revolution, it can only mean that their condition is pathological.
They know that men are not women, that being white does not mean that you are irredeemably racist, that believing in the sanctity of life does not make you a fascist, that intact families and functional familial structures are the best guarantee of success for a child. And yet, when others call out that the emperor has no clothes, at best they seem bamboozled, at worst they become the most obstreperous and diehard enforcers of the New Order.
I have just finished reading an irreverent chronicle of our Woke times, a humorous romp through many of the sacred spaces of the neo-liberal mind and its numerous sacred cows: Morning After the Revolution: Dispatches from the Wrong Side of History, by Nellie Bowles, written from the perspective of an old-school liberal who the New Left now sees as an enemy of the people. Thoroughly recommended.

Might one say that western societies have become, more or less, idealocracies?
