I think, in general, the issue is bigger in the US than, say, in Colombia or even in Europe.
Of course, it can spill-over into our community, too. Especially so, since quite some members are from the US where this fight is fought vividly across society and academia, these days.
But I guess, if we hold truely deer the foundations of good faith (on all sides), and openly demand (sic!) them (of all sides) that’s a very effective antidote.
This community, on many levels, already seems to be a minefield: it’s obvious, how people’s emotional attachment to one thing or another is everywhere. This is not necessarily narcissism, as referred to in the video, it might be founded in the mentally involved nature of writing code.
I don’t think, though, we can meaningfully move forward by over-emphasizing the “avoid stepping on those mines” without stalling ourselves. We also need to foster values of “good faith”, “kindeness” (not “politeness”!) and “individual recilience”.
