@XBillups @studentactivism To me, we live in a world where all sorts of pile-ons and "cancellations" involve no clearly understood standard or longstanding, valuable taboo, and it's all of the obviously excessive punitive zealotry that worries me for our culture, not the existence of any taboos at all — PolitiTweet.org

@XBillups @studentactivism and that even with that rule we could very easily maintain valuable taboos against textbook racism, like urging white people to judge black people as a group and segregate from them by skin color. — PolitiTweet.org

@XBillups @studentactivism So just as I think one could coherently oppose McCarthyism and also think Julius Rosenberg was a spy who deserved what he got, I think one can coherently oppose "cancel culture" and also think urging racist segregation or calling a black person a monkey justifies social sanction — PolitiTweet.org
