Obviously, students don't need to debate politics all the time. But according to surveys, two thirds of students at U.S. colleges say that many of their classmates don't feel comfortable expressing their views. If you don't think that's a problem, I don't know what to tell you.

Most past societies had a guiding vision of the good which dictated what could and couldn’t be said. US ethos evolved into making that vision of the good private. Now people are justifiably asking: “We sacrificed our vision for *this rubbish* to be imposed on us?”

if you take exit over voice seriously, arguably the ability to express views was 100% when you could plausibly just go over a hill or across the sea to join a new town that shared your views. that'd be a big roll of the dice though
