Peterson's 12 Rules For Life, have you heard of this?

That's the biggest problem I have with PC. It simply won't work. Practices which replace one dogma with another, but don't improve productivity, for example, might mean a redistribution of wealth-- but it will never mean that everyone has enough. The PC left will completely ignore the facts, and therefore demand restitution for this or that group, bigger welfare payments, higher minimum wage, and so on. That's nice, today, but what happens when 300 million people go to the market and discover that there's nothing but an old loaf of bread?

We KNOW what happens. We saw it for the entire second half of the 20th century.

.....if not hysterics........-identical- hysterics, no less?

If your ideological position flourishes and becomes the norm, then I'd say that grim outlook is more likely than not to become a reality. I don't think it WILL take hold in that way, since right-wing hysterics approximately balance those of the left-wing in the US, and since there are still plenty of moderates to keep the nutjobs from getting a foothold.

We'll see, I suppose.
