Robotism is alive and well in our present day. Are you aware of the NPC meme? It pokes fun at something that is actually scary rather than humorous.
Large swathes of the population are slowly being converted into Dero up here. History is repeating itself.
I have just recently begun reading about the perceived dangers of 5G. This could actually accelerate the process.
Taken to a severe extreme, SJWs could potentially create a Dero society if allowed to flourish in a space. If New York City was emptied out and given to them, in a matter of two to three years they would be culturally indistinguishable from the Deros. The physical similarities would come with time.
