"That we allowed the proliferation of emotional support animals in the first place tells us a lot about the evolving nature of the civil rights industry...A network of trial lawyers and medical entrepreneurs found a profitable niche in colluding with a growing number of Americans regarding themselves through the prism of victimhood that happens to confer legally protected status onto them."

So well stated. Civil rights movement turned into the civil rights industry.

And the people running much of social media are enabling mental, emotional and moral weakness. Instead of encouraging people to overcome and be better, they foster weakness. That anyone could claim they need a emotional support animal without facing ridicule is beyond me. Surprised the author isn't cancelled for being disability-phobic and spewing hate speech.
