        Name one year in history that ever repeated another year. Yet we always try to use old years to tell a story of right now.

        What about the American right? Feels like they’ve lost their minds at both extremes. America is a country of extremes.

        No one we know doubts this is true of the right. The evidence is in the White House. And yes, America is a country of extremes along many dimensions. In the past it was held together by some powerful centripetal forces, which have now disappeared: http://paulgraham.com/re.html

        Protip: twitter search will find tweets commenting on URLs regardless of the parameters (usu marketing) added to the end of the URL. This doesn't work in reverse. Hence I always trim links prior to sharing. 1/2 ...

        Compare these two searches of trimmed URL vs your original. I've added filter:images to lessen results.

        TBH none of the stories in the essay reflect well intentioned reasonable people being cancelled. A lecturer glibly using the n-word in front of students, a data scientist at a liberal political org advocating the black on black crime narrative...
