Has anyone else noticed a weird tone shift around here lately?

It seems to be turning into a bit of a hotbed for capitalist apologia, 'bright side' thinking, and gaslighting. People go on the defensive for corporations & employers with some regularity. Which was basically unheard of around here before. Has everyone abruptly gained a newfound affinity for milquetoast neoliberalism? Or maybe it's a concerted effort by libertarian trolls? I'm inclined to believe that some sort of subversion is to blame. Call me a crazy conspiracy theorist if you'd like. Sad thing is, up until recently, this was a pretty decent spot for meaningful, constructive discourse along with a sense of cohesion among like-minded, intelligent individuals. Now I just see a lot of dismissive, mean-spirited mudslinging – if not outright hostility towards anyone who dares to be critical of the status quo.
