I know I’m probably just a foolish Luddite, but I am pretty sure we can do without plagiarism and misinformation machines that generate horrible sex crimes for the amusement of rape aficionados.

The people who profited most from the cancel culture/free speech panic were less interested in actual freedom of speech than establishing their own control over public discourse. You don't even have to take my word for it. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...
Every society that has ever existed has had views that are mainstream and views that are fringe. The free-speech frauds who captured the discourse over the past decade understood this, but their true objection was that they did not unilaterally have the power to define which was which. For example, in a 2018 Times column, Weiss complained that “leftists” were engaged in a “concerted attempt to significantly redraw the bounds of acceptable thought and speech.” This was meant to sound sinister, menacing. In fact, this is politics. Every faction is always trying to “redraw the bounds of acceptable thought and speech.” In a free society, the government allows people to have those arguments. Such disputes are not a threat to free speech; they are free speech. When I say that CBS News’s Bari Weiss understood this, you needn’t take my word for it. In November, shortly after being given the reins to one of the oldest broadcast-news organizations in the country, Weiss used identical language to describe her own project: “I think it’s about redrawing the lines of what falls in the 40-yard lines of acceptable debate and acceptable American politics and culture,” Weiss said at the Jewish Leadership Conference. “And I don’t mean that in, like, a censorious, gatekeeping way.” What’s the difference between her “redrawing the lines” of acceptable speech and other people doing it? What makes one “censorious” and “gatekeeping” and the other not? Well, because she gets to decide. That’s what so much of the free-speech panic was ever about: making sure the right people were in charge of what you see, hear, and read. Notably, this has very little to do with reporting the news, which is supposed to be what CBS News does. But if the point of installing Weiss was to ensure that she would gatekeep on behalf of right-wing interests, that is precisely what she appears to be doing.

Ta-Nehasi Coates is doing a lot of things with this essay, but one of the most important is fearlessly using examples of anti-trans hate to describe Charlie Kirk's politics.

The contrast between his choices and those of other writers for major legacy outlets is revealing.
Charlie Kirk, Redeemed: A Political Class Finds Its Lost Cause
By ignoring the rhetoric and actions of the Turning Point USA founder, pundits and politicians are sanitizing his legacy.

A perfectly crafted parable that tackles abuse and enabling, and is thus deeply relevant to politics in a rich white male supremacist country that claims to be a democracy.
juliusgoat.bsky.social A.R. Moxon @juliusgoat.bsky.social · Aug 16
This week I dug deep into the Paradox of Tolerance.

We might hope still to build a new house to replace the one abusive bullies are burning down, after centuries of decades of being enabled in the name of civility.

If we do, the new house will need new locks.

If you've been trying to put words to why all the "big tent" talk about "winning the middle" to defeat fascism that's coming from allegedly moderate alleged pragmatists seems like such wrong-minded nonsense, well I wrote all about that.

Conservatism is *anti-reality,* not just b/c observable reality contradicts conservative dogma, but b/c conservative dogma insists conservatives dictate reality. Accepting consensus reality doesn't demonstrate this domination; forcing others to live according to bullshit conservative dogmas does.
michaelhobbes.bsky.social Michael Hobbes @michaelhobbes.bsky.social · Apr 21
The conservative movement has turned against reality on every scientific issue of our time, from gun violence to climate change to epidemiology.

If campuses are ideologically homogenous, it's not because academia has ostracized conservatives. It's because conservatives have ostracized academia.
