The NYT is typically clueless to matters of teh Interwebz - come on, I thought Sarah Jeong was going to solve all this for them? No matter. Intergenerational flame-throwing is a habit of weak and petty minds. We’re all in this together, like it or not.
It’s just the NYT feeding the Maxist-Leninist dialectic. Everyone has to be in conflict with everyone else. No social cohesion means no organized resistance to tyranny.
