What's troubling is how rapidly it has been embraced by the media and cultural elites, wholesale, essentially without debate or reflection. Social media has magnified the power of zealots, and they have not hesitated to use that power to cowe institutions and ruin careers. Beliefs that only seven or eight years ago wer confined to the far-left of campus humanites programs are now vigorously enforced as social norms, without anything close to a majority of public support, or even public debate.
