It's definitely got way too much "both sides" energy.

The right's punishment of execution, vs the left's punishment of public shaming and "social death"(according to the author) are not even fucking comparable for example.

And I don't think that "this new narrative is rigidly egalitarian––focused on equality of outcomes" is problematic in the slightest unless you buy into "bootstraps" nonsense and ignore the history of the country. Lol but I know which group I fall into.
