Nice piece, Mason. Very thought-provoking and well-written.
I think Norm Finkelstein tried to convey a similar message, ironically, while addressing a pep rally at a Columbia University. Not surprisingly, I think his advise fell largely on deaf ears.
This is an extraordinary piece of writing and thought provoking piece of “written art”. The drawn parallels between the zeitgeist of the time, the protest, and storied art or banners of protest signs and art, as I might call them, has stimulated my thoughts like no other. Thank you.

I suppose we could hope for more civility and less ugliness, but if not, maybe just laughing at it is best.
