"Politics are downstream of culture" -- Andrew Breitbart
He might be wrong about a great many things, but he was right about this. Intolerance (under the guise of "cancel culture") is a result of growing tribalism. Two parallel cultures fighting for supremacy.
That jury is fundamentally a great idea (that's why we use juries today). The only problem is the culture of intolerance.
Parler's jury is just a representation of that intolerance just like their users being kicked off Twitter was a representation of intolerance from the other side.
Unfortunately, this intolerance has become a part of culture and inevitably flows downstream into intolerant politics. If the intolerance doesn't stop, separation or war has always been the result. I fear that people on both sides won't see this until it is too late to prevent.
