People at the event were on the precipice of anger regarding culture war topics and would turn angry if their views were challenged.

I didn't really run into any particularly angry people, but I did meet a bunch of people who were on the precipice of anger. And I was keenly aware that if I didn't placate their needs to not be offended by wokeness, they would turn angry really fast. I nodded along with a cab driver heading to my return trip to the airport as he lamented about how children's movies were pushing a gay agenda by including LGBTQ characters. There were a couple of interactions I ended up in with other people around other culture war topics that felt the same. It was incumbent upon me to moderate my response to their insane shit or else they would respond poorly. It was very clear that that dynamic was in action.
