David French: Civility Isn't Surrender

This is ok. An important topic, anyway.
   Of course it's the fringes that tend to be uncivil. Though as the American left has shifted lefter, and "progressives" have more-or-less accepted political correctness and identity politics (except for white identity politics, of course) as their orthodoxy, incivility has invaded / pervaded more and more of lefty discourse. Or so it seems to me.
   Among the many crazy things mixed in with all of this: the shrieky left shrieks about calls for civility being fascist even as they insist that those with whom they disagree must not be allowed to speak at all--and even as they shout them down and physically attack them. To review: calls for the left to engage in civil discussion: fascistic. The left physically attacking non-leftists in order to prevent them from civilly stating their case: totally cool.
