A WaPo, NYPost & Village Voice alum who was also crab fisherman mentioned... over time, values morph and almost invert entirely: - Upper-case Liberal Democrat become fascist, close-minded and exclusionary - The left becomes a circular firing squad - Republicans become more lower-case liberal - People become atomized from one-another and no longer "disagree without being disagreeable," i.e., it's insults, snark, rhetorical spin doctoring, dismissiveness, censorship and blocking. Oh and power to the most easily offended. - Victim hierarchy inverts power dynamics, rather than delivering equity for all, due to prevalence of mandatory equality of outcome. In general, I think people have fashionablized and cargo-culted philosophical and political positions rather than maintained, mentored, practiced and restored them to their past meanings and values. Maybe it's partially due to the breakdown in social accountability because of mobile populations and partial anonymity/mostly unregulated nature of social media.
