From the Tucker segment "... you can't even say what you think without threats of violence." I can relate to that. Had an extended family member threaten to punch me in the face because "he knew my opinion on a range of different things and disagreed with all of them." Not withstanding the fact that I've barely shared my opinions with him or others, I find it a sign of the times we are in. Never have I been physically threatened by a family member for thinking the wrong thing, until now.
We seem to think things are bad now, or worse than the past, but imo its not true. I think thnx to the internet and the mass communication we are more aware of all the bad stuff that is happening around us.
The same things happened in the past. For example the neocons expelled a lot of right wing factions from the R party after WW2. Not a lot of ppl know about this because there was no internet. But there are lots of books on the matter.
This is not an excuse, to say that thing now are not that bad. Just that this shit is systemic to the human race.

This is a logical fallacy imo.
