I rejoined twitter a few months ago, and quit again: it was inciting negative emotions and it felt addictive. The UI made me feel like I was having a mild stroke. It was disorienting.

Twitter is part of the problem, IMO.

I mention all this because I saw that lady you linked to being frustrated at highways having been called racist.
If anything that thread illustrates how weak and stupid the "anti-identity politics" arguments are.
