I'm starting to believe this white guilt syndrome is a modern day version of the old American puritanism, or some other weird mutation of an idea of sin that somehow found its way into 21st century liberal consciousness.

And e.g. cancel culture is the new age version of Salem witch hunts, it comes from the same kind of self-righteous psyche, and is always about the collective vs. individual

Having lived in SF for more than a decade, I couldn't agree more. When I left, years ago, the guilt syndrome was so prevalent among well-compensated young tech workers that one could talk about mass-psychosis. I'm told it's gotten a lot worse...
