Please watch this — it’s just 2’30” — and think about this guy the next time you hear someone trash an entire sector of the US. Some of the rising conflict around the country is a symptom of individual and collective struggles to make sense of ferocious cultural changes. And many of the attitudes and styles you hear expressed may seem painfully off, but that’s mostly a matter of taste. There are a lot of people out there like this guy. They don’t fit easy stereotypes, and they don’t give good soundbites, so they don’t get much airtime — but they’re out there, and they need all the encouragement they can get.
