I’d be interested to find an origin in the world of theory responsible for this shift but perhaps it’s come from many places.

I'd say it comes out of the universities. Discussions between anarchists now look, sound and feel more like a tutorial in a humanities department. Long gone are the shouty, boozy, brawling conversations of yesteryear. The conversation above is somewhere in the transition period between the two.
