"The writer likened the current culture to a tree that continually grows new branches. Critical race theory is a branch, Elon Musk buying Twitter is a branch, and so on. "
I love the tree analogy. I also use it to describe the health of society in general.
In my mind the roots represent our history and culture... our base morality if you will. The trunk is our system of governance including our legal system. The branches are our progress... the thicker and more established ones have stood the test of time... the growing tips are the innovations... the activist-driven attempts at change.
The left is a collection of societal malcontents and excitable youth with underdeveloped frontal lobes that are not satisfied with growing new branches. They want to own the entire tree. More accurately they are intent on destroying the existing tree and planting something fancifully new.
That is the key in understanding the culture wars. Their "word policing" - which reaches back into the archives of history and also by connection to others speaking words - isn't really about the words... not at all... it is just part of their overall nihilistic agenda to destroy what is so they can own the power, wealth of control of what would come next.
When you speak the words without fear and fight for your rights to do so, you are in fact fighting to prevent the enemy from destroying our system. It is a system that is terribly flawed, but still happens to be the best system ever devised.
Few, including the malcontents, seem to understand how miserable would be the overall human condition if the tree topples. Their focus on the system flaws without a corresponding perspective for the benefits derived from the foundational stability (for example, that allows them rights, time and resources to protest and agitate for change) clearly demonstrates that they are hazards to themselves and everyone else. It is our moral duty to fight them and defeat them.
