Revolutions often overthrow horrible things and get replaced with more horrible things.
I deeply support the tearing down of current norms, and am also absolutely terrified at the new norms.

I got kicked from what I thought was a reasonable fb group for very gently disagreeing with others. I'm seeing other groups posting stuff that makes me believe they'd ban me too if I shared how I view the world. Things are getting way more hostile.

That’s a perfectly reasonable stance, but it should have been applied yeas/decades ago if the goal was to prevent what we are seeing now. Making that statement at this point in the game is beyond pointless.

No coincidence that one of the only journalists on the left saying this out loud--plenty say it in DMs--is supported directly by his readers (via Substack), not reliant on a large media organization.
Anyway, it's a good piece. Read it. twitter.com/mtaibbi/status…

You're talking about the revolution that started three years ago right? Yeah I'm also terrified of what's been replacing existing norms.
