Just muted a load of ppl. Relief. Not sure whether they were teenagers as name-calling, histrionics & lack of argument is the norm now.

Apologies to the teenage tweeps I follow precisely because you don't do those things. I fear for the future tho, I really do.

Even if they're not teenagers, they are young & they seem to have no idea that liberalism can be anything but identity politics & tribalism.

We really need to fix this before we revert to genuine tribal culture & forget how to co-operate & discuss things. I might be being dramatic

Trust me as a student of history: you're not over-dramatic. Best we can do is stave off the madness ourselves, outlast the crazy

I think it is my background in history which makes me aware how easily we could lose secular, liberal democracy.

Yep, a Hellenophile! I love ancient Greece to death. I need someone to tutor me in the language, it’s so beautiful!

I have no Greek at all but might have to acquire some if I want to look at MSs from the Renaissance.
