Most of his points are about young people and universities. I dont think there has been a change in the intrinsic properties to those groups as he mentions. What has happened, and people are gonna think I'm a crazy Fox News boomer for saying, and gonna get downvoted by very left learning HN for...is the left is now the mainstream and the right is now the counterculture. We're basically in the inverse of 2003 America. I am not making political judgements I am stating facts. Look at how every large organization boasts about their commitment to diversity and supporting LGTBQ+. Every big corp, including ones like Lockheed Martin, K-12 education, higher education, the military even. I know people are going to try and counter bringing up recent anti-abortion legislation and other laws but having a majority in some local legislation is not enough to be the mainstream. You have to control more than that and the left controls just about everything else. Most discussions around free speech talk about deplatfomring and "canceling". Those two strategies are only effective for the side that controls the platforms which is the mainstream. The counterculture cannot deplatform somebody because they do not have control over the platform. It's always the counterculture that complain about lack of free speech and the mainstream who say things like "you are not entitled to a megaphone" and "freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences" Universities and college students used to be hotbeds of counterculture because the right was the mainstream and college students are overwhelmingly left leaning. Today college students are all about deplatforming because they are on the side that gets to deplatform people instead of the side that struggles for megaphone access.
