"In our era of 24-hour news, such outrage and hyperbole seem to be par
for the course. There are apparently lots of “worst ever” events and
“existential” threats we need to worry about. The hyperbole especially
flares in worries about the younger generation."
Another enjoyable reminder about the eternal recurrence of moral panics.
