As someone on the spectrum (with a deficit in contextual information processing) who grew up in a high context East Asian culture, I was really drawn to the low context nature of American culture.

I found it easier to thrive in a place where direct, explicit communication

was the norm. This was very much reflected in how language here is used, which is something that wokeness/the Successor Ideology has begun to change.

Language in our modern discourse now is hyper-contextual. "Abolish the police" doesn't really mean abolish the police.

"Black lives matter" is not just a literal statement of declaring the obvious. It's symbolic language that signals a whole other suite of ideas.

There are countless other examples of this shift. If one values cultural diversity, and not merely pay lip service to it, then one

would see that explicit forms of communication are required to avoid misunderstanding. Yet, it is those supposed champions of diversity who are introducing a new paradigm of communication and language that requires more contextualizing.
