The original[1] article is also intriguing and not the analysis of someone I expect to see from someone who describes themselves as center-right. I think this line is a great allegory for my overall frustration with political discourse online: >The story of baby boomer extremism could be told by analyzing networks of professors and students on elite campuses—but if that story did not also mention Vietnam, Watergate, the end of the civil rights movement, or the 1970s energy crisis, the average reader would conclude that the essayist had lost that decade’s thread. My personal take has been that our problems have less to do "free speech" and "media decisiveness" and more to do with how America's economic system today has left most people on the edge of destitution and are left people too tired to engage meaningfully with politics. There is a huge chasm between the policies we actually need and what gets debated about daily. I would consider this a leftist position, so I'm excited to read what this author proposes.
