Panic Attack by Robby Soave
7.5 out of 10Soave wrote this book in 2019.
It analyzes the positions of college-aged activists. Following in the footsteps of those who protested the Iraq War and occupied Wall Street, the new wave of vocal youth has a notably different flavor. They are emotionally fragile. They participate in an intersectionality victimhood hierarchy. They do not advocate for free speech and often demand its suppression. They can be angry and violent. The leftists have a never-ending wishlist for massive government control. The unsavory alternative far-right dreams of racial segregation.
My bet is that new messy situations will arise. The best-case scenario is that everyone grows a little wiser.
