@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

@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

@briantashman Do you disagree that it can be coherent to both oppose "cancel culture," defined as excessively punitive speech-policing of ill-defined norms, and also to oppose textbook examples of egregious racism? — PolitiTweet.org
