Do you or have you kept a journal on a regular basis? Do you have any other idea collection techniques like Evernote?

I didn't think I had a question, but one occurred to me at the last minute. In a followup interview with Jo Freeman about "Trashing" by The Cut, she adds an additional observation that the circles where trashing is more prone to occur also tend to be younger. She points at how violent crimes are heavily concentrated among men between 15 and 25. While physical altercations leave behind visible injuries, trashing might be an age-old problem that only recently started leaving "marks" (just from the psychological/sociological sphere). This makes a lot of sense to me, but I've never hung out in hyper-woke spaces. What's your take? Does this make sense wrt the nastier incarnations of intra-left cancelling?
