I think the central question that Duncan is getting at in the article is where the line should be. Society is putting it more towards micro, Duncan thinks it’s swung to far and wants to be towards macro. But it’s clear that just saying “have a line” doesn’t help with the dilemma very much (unless people don’t have personal boundaries, in which case saying “Have a line” is definitely helpful advice).
I thought the point was that people don’t set a line in some cases. This leads to situation where something that doesn’t actually bother people gets pushed back against based *on principle* only.
But it could very well be that you are right, or that we both are.
