@rasmansa @ErikN_NJEdition @ijbailey @AnneCW I have a question. If the custodian's union at a college decided that they object as a matter of conscience to the gender studies department, and started refusing to replace their light bulbs or set up their microphones in lecture halls, would that be objectionable? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey @rasmansa @AnneCW But with you two, your inchoate impressions of my position always seems to be weighted more heavily than a rigorously accurate characterization of what I actually write. — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey @rasmansa @AnneCW I said I would hire new workers to work a Chappelle event in a walkout situation if there was no other way to have the event. You erroneously jumped to the conclusion I was calling for these workers to be fired. I then explicitly clarified my view: — PolitiTweet.org

@rasmansa @ijbailey @AnneCW You aren't even characterizing the tweets you screenshot correctly, let alone my larger position. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@rasmansa @AnneCW @ijbailey Your comment was factually incorrect and any minimally competent fact checking department wouldn't let it through. This isn't a matter of interpretation. — PolitiTweet.org

@ijbailey @rasmansa @AnneCW There you go again. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey @ErikN_NJEdition @rasmansa @AnneCW If I worked at a theater and a comedian whose words I disagreed with came to perform I would work that night even though I disagreed with the comedian because I value free expression, artistic freedom and tolerance, and I think others should too. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@rasmansa @ijbailey @AnneCW In other words, I say that I oppose laws and write critically about them and have proponents of those laws yell at me and tell me I'm wrong... and meanwhile your takeaway is that I support those laws. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@rasmansa @ijbailey @AnneCW It strikes me as very solid evidence that your resting impression of my positions have very little to do with the actual things I publish. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@rasmansa @ijbailey @AnneCW I am speaking of you specifically, not making a broad statement about your side. Just today you posted and quickly deleted a tweet asserting my position was the exact opposite of what I have repeatedly written. What else am I to conclude from that? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@rasmansa @ijbailey @AnneCW And yet I have published many articles that cut in different directions than your impressions, and so I conclude, based on unsurpassed familiarity with my own body of work and the utter lack of systematic analysis on your parts, that your impressions are incorrect. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey @rasmansa @AnneCW I disagree with many people without declaring them threats to free expression. But unless you deny that anything can threaten free expression, you should not find it presumptively objectionable to say the other side of a particular disagreement threatens free expression — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey @rasmansa @AnneCW It's a very basic distinction you're unable to grasp: the one between criticizing speech, as I do, and trying to deprive another of their platform for speaking, as the workers at that theater did. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@rasmansa @ijbailey @AnneCW Your repeated inability to discern relevant distinctions doesn't mean they don't exist. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey @rasmansa @AnneCW Maybe I've missed it but I have not seen the workers claim that their work stoppage was a persuasive effort aimed at Chappelle. If it was, it was certainly an odd one. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @NAChristakis: This sort of accusation of "cultural appropriation," like so many (but not all) others, is just ridiculous: https://t.co/… — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@rasmansa @AnneCW @ijbailey You seem as unable to draw a distinction between criticism and silencing as the most wrongheaded conservative critics of cancel culture. I don't want to shut people up, I want to persuade them that they are wrong so that they change their views. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@rasmansa @AnneCW @ijbailey See the opening paragraph here https://t.co/UwmAVjtRp9 Your engagement with me is just a series of erroneous assertions about what I supposedly believe. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@rasmansa @AnneCW @ijbailey Good job quickly deleting your erroneous claim that I supported anti-CRT laws. Turning to your next dubious claim: What argument have I ever made about conservatives self-censoring on campus that suggests accurately characterizing positions they take should be verboten? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@rasmansa @AnneCW @ijbailey Where did I say that they should self-censor? What I have said, accurately, is that people who campaign to deplatform others are engaged in an illiberal enterprise––as is their right. You object to me accurately labeling their views. — PolitiTweet.org

A very NPR sentence from All Songs Considered on the new Beyoncé: "Looking at the track listing, it just seems as if she has honestly social workers & psychologists working w/ her in the studio, bc it seems like she just taps into what the masses are thinking & feeling & emoting" — PolitiTweet.org

@skruglnska Huh, that isn't my understanding of his message, but I haven't followed him closely for the last year or two. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@rasmansa @AnneCW @ijbailey But I have never written that merely protesting a speaker is illiberal or authoritarian. Only when the protest is aimed at shouting down or deplatforming or intimidating the speaker--in other words, coercing oneness and sameness--have I made such characterizations — PolitiTweet.org

@hencough It is perfectly appropriate for a school president to comment on the official position of the institution, which may or may not reflect their personal opinion, with regards to the treatment of any undocumented students. — PolitiTweet.org

@hencough Mitch Daniels, the former Republican governor of Indiana, is the president of Purdue University. Do you think it makes sense for him to speak on behalf of Purdue's faculty on subjects like taxes, climate change, abortion, and who should win the 2022 midterms? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@hencough "Complete silence on major political issues is tacit support of the status quo." 1) No, it isn't. 2) A university president's silence does not mean that faculty and students will be silent. If it is a major political issue, they almost certainly won't be silent. — PolitiTweet.org
