"Cancel culture" obscures as much as it clarifies, but this misses the reason people object to it: it takes stigma and ostracization appropriate for the very worst acts/actors who violate the most serious taboos, & applies it arbitrarily to the venial sins of normal people — PolitiTweet.org

We are witnessing the first geopolitical ‘cancellation’ of the 21st century.

Is there a face-saving out that would increase the chances of Putin deescalating rather than escalating? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ChrisWoodOliver @Swavity I agree. Similarly, I don't think the people saying all lives matter are implying that black lives don't. But a lot of people think they can win an argument by acting as if it does. — PolitiTweet.org

(Now that I think of it, combining Canadian, American, and Mexican foodstuffs yields the best of the continental breakfasts on offer unless penguin tastes much better than I imagine.) — PolitiTweet.org

This is an opportunity to expand continental breakfasts so that they have a wider array of offerings. https://t.co/tDVTwYij2G

In light of what I recall from the Cold War era it could plausibly be one of two things: 1) Frequent dinners with Bugs Bunny. 2) Frequent dinners with Yosemite Sam. — PolitiTweet.org

I agree with this. And that's precisely why I want to acculturate people to explicitly reject *identifying more with* people who share the same phenotype. — PolitiTweet.org

This is the standard I apply in my work, and it explains both why I care about the lives of drone strike victims in Yemen and Somalia and Pakistan and why I care about victims of unjust police shootings in America regardless of their race. All people deserve life, liberty, etc. — PolitiTweet.org

Despite recent hostilities between NHJ and critics this strikes me as a new opportunity to see common ground: https://t.co/JShFhXSmN1 A call for colorblind universalism because all lives in fact matter rather complicates the usual lines of disagreement. — PolitiTweet.org

While secondary to the "don't start WWIII" argument, I'm glad @robbysoave pointed out that Joe Biden can't lawfully impose a no-fly zone, because our Constitution vests the power to declare war in Congress. — PolitiTweet.org

For most, I think it's a particularly jaw-dropping example of two pretty common phenomena: 1) failure to think more than one step ahead; 2) thinking clouded by euphemism. — PolitiTweet.org

Back in 2013 I complained that "no fly zone" is used as a euphemism to obscure the fact of entering a war. https://t.co/zfRqNM5VX6 That's worth remembering now. — PolitiTweet.org

@BobMann2001 @thomaschattwill And there was a Russo-Georgian war that Americans have no idea about. In fact, most of them haven't heard of Georgia! A guy I know from there once got asked by a TSA agent, "Wait, y'all have your own passports?" — PolitiTweet.org

@thomaschattwill I bet you anything "the European slave trade" is a phrase that appears in the 1619 curriculum. It's not a consistent standard. — PolitiTweet.org
