Yascha Mounk: Identity-focused campus culture is new threat to democracy

I am sorry but this just does not make sense to American left (undefined--there is no single "left") or American universities. What is the point? Whose ideas are described? I do not know

Wonderful! Together with recent contributions from Umut Ozkirimli and others I'm hoping we're, at last, now witnessing the beginning of a long-overdue left campaign against illiberal leftist cancel culture! Let's hope that others, currently cowering behind the barricades, will increasingly find the courage to join the counteroffensive.

We need to look at how we interact with others, individually or as groups. Are we judgemental about ideas that we do not share? Or dismissive of them? Do we treat others as we would like them to treat us? Do we care about the wellbeing of those with whom we happen to disagree... and are we capable of engaging them in rational, civilised debate on the topics on which our opinions differ? That's an ideal, there will always be those who refuse to accept that anyone else has a valid opinion, who persist in confusing a view with those who hold it. But we need to cultivate this ideal to the best of our abilities. And it all starts with ME and with YOU.
