  When will the insanity end?

    Educating others, communicating events, and discussing these cultural touchstones is the beginning of the end for such things. It's a process (I think), and we're all collectively part of it. The end of this particular cycle may not have a definitive date though. I want to stress that honest and open communication about opinions and a commitment to truth and the long process of fact-checking seems to be the best way forward, if not necessarily the easiest.

  Funny you would mention Catalan when Catalonian public schools are trying to extinguish the use of Spanish on the basis that 60 years ago it was "the language of Franco and fascism". The amount of moral crusading in Catalonia against the use of the Spanish language is appalling. Looks like this modern moralism really does extend much farther than publishing books. https://www.elconfidencial.com/espana/2020-11-05/la-comision-de-educacion-del-congreso-aprueba-eliminar-el-castellano-como-lengua-vehicular_2821720/ https://www.elconfidencial.com/espana/2020-11-05/la-comision...
