I've had luck pushing back against it. I'm not sure if it's because I'm in Japan which doesn't buy into woke culture or if the people around me had just had a gutsful too. It doesn't hurt to try.
It's good to hear there's some places that don't buy in to the rampant silliness. You'd think a bastion of free speech like the USA would be one of those, but apparently the political polarization has caused people to lose their minds.
