The author’s characterization of the implications of living in a low-trust society is accurate. Every interaction, be it related to social, business or policy spheres becomes complex, and, potentially, adversarial. This became especially visible during the COVID era, and has worsened since.
"The Right" as in the kosher conservative right, does everything you describe. The real right however, the one that rejects the liberalist axioms, is different and has a strong will to create. It can't however build trust because of the persecution and infiltration. There can be no vetting among the anonymous, there is no permanence among the banned and deleted, and there is no capital among the debanked who are banned from all market places. Cultural production is lonely, the creation thrown into the wild in the hopes that someone sees and appreciates it. No money, no friends, no honor, no legacy. Incredible that they still fight and produce. What will happen when persecution grinds to an exhausted halt and demoralized infiltrators have no where to report to anymore?
