If you think a viewpoint is wrongheaded do you push back against it with more speech or do you try to prevent others from ever being exposed to it? That's the distinction. — PolitiTweet.org

The 1619 Project was widely lauded and read. It was also subject to efforts to suppress rather than argue against it. The same goes for Joe Rogan. The faction of would-be suppressors rather than debaters and their tactics is "cancel culture" whether or not they succeed. — PolitiTweet.org

It's not cancel culture if multiple websites are fighting to pay you $100 million to be *their* ignorant podcaster. https://t.co/ZHOuwGesNk

Yes, there is a difference. Nevertheless, one might believe, as I do, that bad ideas are best met with engagement and rebuttal rather than pressure campaigns designed to prevent others from ever hearing them, regardless of whether economic or legal pressure is the tool of choice. — PolitiTweet.org

@conor64 Is there not a difference between trying to use economic pressure and enacting laws?
