There's a great anecdote in Victor Klemperer's diary of life as a Jew in Nazi Germany. He was a longtime subscriber to a cat magazine. In 1932 his cat magazine was all about cats. By 1935 it couldn't shut up about the virtues of the "German Cat."

Not that our society is Nazi -- it's pretty much the opposite. Nonetheless, the feeling of everything becoming poisoned by politics is inescapable. If you prefer you can go over to Breitbart and read about how Twitter is a mess because it doesn't respect free speech and banned Milo. Somehow I don't think this will leave you feeling any better.
