@PennyRed I don't get the confidence that speech restrictions implemented by multinational corporations are likely to benefit rather than harm the marginalized. It seems to me that the preferences of people with more wealth, education, and cultural power are likelier to be privileged. — PolitiTweet.org

But it seems to me that, while we can agree that pricey institutions bear some of the culpability for America's student debt problem, people without college degrees bear the least culpability of anyone and should not be paying for debt relief for college graduates. — PolitiTweet.org

Whatever you think of the rest of this thread, I sympathize with this point and believe pricey colleges do a huge disservice to teens with the breezy way they encourage massive borrowing as if it's nothing--so much so that I'd support debt relief funded by taxing their endowments — PolitiTweet.org

Much of that debt came from a pricey undergrad degree I wouldn't have taken if anyone in my family had gone to coll… https://t.co/9rNL2GnaHs

I like @PennyRed and her work but I don't get this. Wonderfully, Twitter is more diverse than the public square that preceded it. Free speech advocates on this platform are arguing against restricting that diverse speech, not for silencing anyone. And we don't all look the same! — PolitiTweet.org

@knowwhatisreal I think so, yes. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @GraemeEdgeler: An excellent contribution to a debate where people are all too often talking past each other. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
It was fair to press people who complained about "cancel culture" to be more specific. And now several nuanced definitions exist. Now it's time for the other side of the debate to step up. What specifically do you want to be treated as beyond the pale? https://t.co/ZkZC2UjHL5 — PolitiTweet.org

@ijbailey For me the problem is the people who don't need help having their educations subsidized by poorer people who never even got to go to college--the regressive wealth transfer of it all. — PolitiTweet.org

@ZackKopplin When you needlessly make speculative claims on matters you're ignorant about the basis of conversations that tends to happen — PolitiTweet.org

@ZackKopplin You have a poor understanding of my motivations. — PolitiTweet.org

A tough question for @wiczipedia: the law allows the FBI to lie in the conduct of its duties. The CIA is permitted to deliberately sow disinformation to advance American interests. Is disinformation always wrong or is it okay sometimes? https://t.co/XCR9yJqJP0 — PolitiTweet.org

@ZackKopplin Well, I mostly write about current events rather than histories, but I have indeed written critically of modern day mobs. For example: https://t.co/pYDz880EM3 — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ZackKopplin My id is preferring liberal democracy to allowing privileged teenagers or populist right mobs to attack people in the streets? I mean, that is my preference, but isn't it almost everyone's preference? — PolitiTweet.org

@ZackKopplin For your next gotcha ask me if I was against the Tulsa Race Riots or the Zoot Suit riots — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ZackKopplin What a weird conversation this is! To be clear, *the whims of activists at Middlebury* isn't what I think of as mob rule, but like almost everyone, I am against both rule by mobs and rule by Middlebury undergraduates, preferring liberal Constitutional democracy to both. — PolitiTweet.org

@ZackKopplin Concerned with privileged liberal arts undergraduates assaulting college professors? Yes, that does indeed concern me. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ZackKopplin I have no problem with protesters yelling. I have a huge problem with protesters physically assaulting a professor who interviewed Charles Murray. And my views on this align with the hoi polloi rather than the educated elites. — PolitiTweet.org

@ZackKopplin That depends. I have no apriori view of if the students or the professor is correct. I judge on the merits. — PolitiTweet.org
