I read the article you cited. Here's the TL;DR for anyone interested:
"I think Cotton's article should not have been given a platform at the Times. We should have people who share my sensibilities limit what gets on the Oped page."
It's just another asshole with an inflated sense of self-enlightenment, and entitlement, declaring himself a brahmin who ought to have editorial powers over the public square. The article offered no insight. I should have gone with "I want my 3 minutes back" rather than treat it seriously.
