I think I agree with this...The art of debating issues as an enjoyable intellectual exercise is increasingly becoming quaint due to the PC hive mind of group-think, inculcated in the younger generation by the cultural Marxists who run the madrassas of academe, whereby any contrary view is considered to be a theocratic heresy and an existential threat.
This has stifled any intellectual curiosity in seeking out opposing views in order to learn/test your own - and indeed, those who do so can be accused of hate speech by the glass-jawed snowflakes who are triggered into retreating further into their warm little bubble of kumbaya.
Sad.
