Counterculture of the 2010s and 2020s
The counterculture of the 2010s and 2020s is a name given to an ongoing reactionary countermovement that is often argued to have initially developed first in the United Kingdom (UK) and the United States (US) in around 2014 with GamerGate and has since spread throughout much of the Western world, with Australia and most European countries being hotbeds of some of the most prominent reactionary activity. The movement has been described as a backlash against political correctness, often said to be the dominant establishment culture and primary secular religion of the 2010s and 2020s, also referred to as cancel culture or "woke culture",[1] and said to be preached by progressive individuals otherwise known as "social justice warriors", who are argued by their critics to have infiltrated most major organizations.[2] It has been described by some as a reactionary successor (of sorts) to the revolutionary and highly successful counterculture of the 1960s, which gained momentum as the American Civil Rights Movement continued to grow, becoming revolutionary with the expansion of the United States government's extensive military intervention in Vietnam, and generally becoming part of mainstream culture. While often associated with the far right and "white supremacy" by the mainstream media and other politically correct organizations, this reactionary backlash has seen increasing participation from a wide variety of people of all races, colors, and religions from all sides of the political spectrum.

Previously less popular organizations fighting for the rights of white people are argued to have become increasingly popular since 2014, mostly as a major backlash against the dominant mainstream political culture that has otherwise been described as anti-white politics. Anti-white politics, otherwise known as "anti-racism", is said to have peaked with the death of George Floyd on May 25, 2020, which saw a major pro-establishment cultural revolution that led to rioting and looting in most major cities across the world, including the vandalism and even removal of statues of prominent historical political figures whose at-the-time acceptable views are now considered to be vastly politically unacceptable.
