The former doesn't really worry me.

"The solution to bad speech is more speech" does not inherently include "therefore I must politely listen to this speech". Especially where, as on a college campus, there is disparity in the *literal platform* given to speakers.

"Cancel culture includes people who choose not to be dicks because then people would call them dicks and they don't want that"

The fact that "cancel culture" is predominantly used as a cynical, dishonest partisan club should not obscure the fact that a big chunk of college students ARE nasty, narrow-minded little Maoists.https://t.co/AXOOKQLOMK

I know America seems extremely divided, and the gulf between Right and Left seems to be getting wider and angrier, but rest assured there’s a constant American value that unites us with enduring bonds:

Everyone thinks it should be easier to punish speech they don’t like.

I usually avoid the topic, but it does make my cynical heart beat that missing white woman syndrome is trending.

Every arm of American media treats whiteness as the default. White problems are America's problems but everybody else's problems are "special interests."

Most inherently recognize that there’s a difference between state action in a war zone where some people are actively trying to kill you and state action in a location with no military threat where people are asking for your help. https://t.co/i5RdEqWUS2

How many times do we have to tell you people, Facebook isn't pro-Democrat or pro-Republican. We don't have liberal or conservative bias. We're not in the tank for the left or the right. We're pro-Facebook. https://t.co/8dDL5NgFwZ

Republican Tom Cotton, who will not vote to fund the government, says Democrats need to fund the government, despite his entire party blocking Democrats from funding the government, so they can blame Democrats for not funding the government. https://t.co/bo3lriEw8x

Leaving aside the issue that the military is explicitly supposed to be controlled by politicians, the SEAL teams made me go to the dentist and get a filling on a painless tooth before I went on deployment so yes, they can make you get a shot. Dumbass. https://t.co/RqqaIVpC2x

Okay, @CatoInstitute, government interference with basic bodily autonomy is a political question not a legal one so you won’t file or advocate,

Cool. Cool.

Can we expect similar restraint when political questions on regulation, taxes, and other healthcare issues come up? https://t.co/86fIyVp95T

Comparing "cancel culture" to persecution of gays in the 1950s is deranged. Homosexuality was illegal, gathering spaces were prohibited and police regularly raided gay bars. All of that is measurable and none of it applies to modern-day conservatives. https://t.co/MeHymafq7O

Um nope, it's only ridiculous if you don't read past the headline.

- Teacher used racial slur when reading historical document
- Students complained
- School investigated but took no action
- DoE is now investigating the school

How exactly is this a "cancellation"? https://t.co/qdq2MIozOg pic.twitter.com/oUNIpUSUKd

Funny how people who long said “your personal, ethnographic, or other qualitative evidence of racism is meaningless; there’s little systematic evidence that racism’s a big deal” are now saying “quant data is fake, trust my feelings” on moral panics around cancel culture and crime https://t.co/kNDjr2JCn2

here's your semi-annual reminder that testimony is evidence, the job of the jury is to weigh the evidence, decide the facts and apply the law as the judge instructed them on it, and civics education in this county is sorely lacking to the detriment of the public good. https://t.co/BiUvCer9yK
