So, the idea that x field or institution is tearing itself apart relies on a certain loyalty to the status quo, which necessarily, as with all things, benefits only a subset of the interested groups.

So basically “tearing itself apart”= both sides are the problem. One side is like no to violent fascists who are trying to rape, kill, and harm ppl, the other is, we want to violently harm ppl. Medievalists really are terrible at addressing violence+power.

Similar note: “x is tearing itself apart” or “we must save x” slide the fact that some institutions/communities/structures are not worth saving.
