I prefer the term unvested interests to counter culture. The moment unvested interests become vested interests they slow down very quickly and focus on defending themselves from an emerging unvested interest, and so on. Very interesting thread by you. Thank you.

As the left stacks up more and more novel norms, their position becomes more vulnerable. It's like an army with an overextended battle line.
