While there are examples like Shor’s firing of #cancelculture going too far the problem I have with this letter is that is conflates examples like that with JK Rowling and Bari Weiss going “wahh people on Twitter told me my borderline bigoted views are trash. I’m being silenced!”. And I generally tend to feel little sympathy for the “pc is going too far” people because many come from the latter camp then the former

This is just amazing. This is the guy who spearheaded the letter.



This is exactly what I was referring to here

So much of the anti-pc movement is lead by massive hypocrites who have tried to “silence” views they don’t like be Bari Weiss trying to get a Palestinian teacher fired for not being pro-Israel enough, Bret Stephens and the bedbug episode, and now this guy.

The last three tweets on this thread are:

Some rando with 75 followers

David Klion of "I hope you cry when you're forced to vote for Sanders" fame

Current Affairs, which is just Nathan Robinson's personal soapbox, Robinson being famous for "yeah I coached Tara Reade and her brother in how to construct a false rape allegation against the Vice President, but if I delete all the tweets bragging about it then it's ok, right?"

Really shows how much this conversation has devolved.
Or you could look past the tweets at what is being cited?
