Modern Protest Culture is Crippled by Internet-Brain

Conservatives need to be more honest about this, instead of pretending that every protest movement that happens on the left is some kind of explosive assault on law and order. The First Amendment is a law which guarantees order will sometimes be lost. It’s true that college students are radicalized on America’s universities, but in one important sense, this fruit of that radicalization is traditional.
In another important sense, however, the protests which the contemporary Left tends to be engaged in these days has become infected by a dysfunctional view of reality. Specifically, it is a view of reality deeply shaped by the digital age and the Internet era’s individualistic, curated, first-person worldview.
