@clayranck @jlockett02 @wienerdogprod You keep falsely acting as if I am not defending the right of people to engage in cancel culture or to be puritanical authoritarians. I defend their right to try to deplatform e.g. Dave Chapelle, & I also think the rest of us should criticize their illiberalism and overrule them — PolitiTweet.org

@clayranck @jlockett02 @wienerdogprod Those aren't exclamations of anger, they are accurate descriptors. Authoritarians, by definition, are people who use coercion to suppress art they don't like and viewpoints different than theirs. Doing so is illiberal. Today's ascendant strain of illiberalism is neopuritanical — PolitiTweet.org
