I also find this statement a little ... odd.
"If you had any sense, you'd be quietly deleting every trace of activist mantras, ad hominem attacks, false equivalence and circular arguments from your X feeds, because the day is fast approaching when you'll want to pretend you always saw through the craziness."
Why would someone need to delete past comments "if they had sense" rather than simply evolving their opinions, if their opinions do evolve? Why would they be revision their timeline "if they had sense"? What's going to happen if they don't? All a little Orwellian there.
