Phew, that was caustic. Loved it though. Might be too much of a snowflake myself to write in such a brazenly antagonistic manner. That being said it was intelligently put and I do agree with you. Interesting you quoted Tolstoy's description of Oblonsky. What makes this character problematic is, despite how devoid he is of any firm conviction, how prepossesing and successful he is—fitting.

We are truly living through the atrophication of nuance writ large. Articles like yours (along with the corresponding comments) are a palliative for the festering simulacra infecting our worldviews.
