Freddie, this is a great piece. I just wish you could acknowledge that what you’re describing here:

“you treat everything in politics as laughably obvious, as though the entire world unfolds itself in predigested moral scenarios where there is always a hero and a villain and where anyone who does not immediately identify the correct position is a shill or a fool”

isn’t just an intra-left phenomenon, but also describes, in pretty much every particular, how the left deals with libertarians and conservatives as well.
