This is such a terrific piece. I especially love the distinction between being threatened and being discomforted and the error of conflating the two. Back when I was a campus radical mouthing nonsense every once in a while, a friendly professor or two would say, “that’s not a good idea,” and we’d talk it through. Those are some of my best memories of college.
