It's a good read but it is all one side, and as such feels like an echo chamber of ideas (although many I would agree with whats being said). I'd love to see an article where both sides were presented, if only because while I might not always agree with the "left" side of these arguments, I can see their line of reasoning. The "right" has always felt so alien and I'm curious if there is any angle they have other than feeling threatened of "outsiders" changing the world they live in.

Who do you get in for the other side though? There’s no one that springs to mind as holding a reasonable position on this stuff, and they’d at best just be Canute trying to hold back the waves anyway.
