@jduffyrice @JeffreyASachs @TanaGaneva @ijbailey No, I am responding to your explicit claim that she only defends the free speech of people on the right of center. Do you acknowledge that is incorrect? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@JeffreyASachs @jduffyrice @davidminpdx @TanaGaneva @ijbailey Indeed you are among the very few people of any ideology who are principled and consistent on this and I appreciate it! — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@jduffyrice @JeffreyASachs @TanaGaneva @ijbailey I am certain you're wrong that she only stands up for the right of center. I asked if you'd give me $5 for every counterexample I can find. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@jduffyrice @davidminpdx @TanaGaneva @ijbailey So you don't think Bari has stood up for anyone's free speech who isn't on the right of center? Would you give me $5 for every counterexample I can find? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@jduffyrice @JeffreyASachs @TanaGaneva @ijbailey Given that I have argued publicly with Rufo about this and published a piece on it, and you were unaware of that, I'm not sure why you're confident that Bari has said nothing about this. I have no idea if she has or not. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@jduffyrice @davidminpdx @TanaGaneva @ijbailey "Only seems" is rather vague. And as one of the few people who defends the free speech of people with a wide variety of ideological priors, I can tell you there are very few of us, yet it's always Bari and never progressives who gets called out as if she's a hypocrite — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@jduffyrice @davidminpdx @TanaGaneva @ijbailey I believe Bari to have good character, but I don't think it follows that her arguments are more true as a result. That you believe her to have bad character, erroneously I think, should not make you conclude that her arguments are less true, even if you are correct. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@jduffyrice @davidminpdx @TanaGaneva @ijbailey If you argued that women are sometimes unfairly jailed, but never that men are sometimes unfairly jailed, your failure to argue the second thing would not have any bearing on the truth of the first. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@jduffyrice @davidminpdx @TanaGaneva @ijbailey Bari is making arguments that can be judged on their merits and that millions of people believe to be true. What's the purpose of attacking her character? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey If you look at the rest of the sentence, it was in fact asserting a specific real similarity--that in both cases, a cultural revolution began in academia and then took hold in the broader culture. If you stop cutting off the sentence and quote it in full that will be evident. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey @TanaGaneva The sentence is "Just as in China under Chairman Mao, the seeds of our own cultural revolution can be traced to the academy..." That's not a claim that our cultural revolution is as alarming as Mao's. It is a different claim. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@TanaGaneva @ijbailey I mean... I think that is a rather significant cultural shift, too! — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey @TanaGaneva I don't think Bari has claimed that what's happening is as alarming as the Cultural Revolution, has she? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey @TanaGaneva I can talk about whether I agree or disagree with any particular generalization, if you want; but the piece puts forth a lot of specific examples, which I think is helpful for pushing the conversation forward, whether or not you agree with the generalizations. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@TanaGaneva @ijbailey Okay... but if you think the leaders of institutions are sacrificing people who run afoul of ever-changing orthodoxies of the moment, aren't they being cowardly? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@TanaGaneva @ijbailey And I wish there was a way to break this down into more discrete, adjudicable questions, rather than arguing about broad characterizations, which leads, I think, to a lot of talking past one another — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@TanaGaneva @ijbailey I think concern over the changes to what that essay calls our sense-making institutions is warranted, and while I agree nothing as alarming as the Cultural Revolution is happening, I will defend the proposition that significant damage is being done to innocents and institutions — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@TanaGaneva @ijbailey Bari was very concerned about this when the immediate career result was getting bullied by NYT colleagues and disparaged on Slack. But let's set motives aside and discuss the substance of the matter: — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@TanaGaneva @ijbailey Lots of people are earnestly alarmed by cancel culture. They're frequently treated as if they are being disingenuous, but there's no evidence for that, and it certainly isn't true of Bari--she is, in fact, earnestly concerned about these things, publicly and privately. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey Is it that you don't believe anyone holds those positions or that you think she overstates how many people hold them? — PolitiTweet.org

This analogy might help some progressives to understand where many liberals are coming from: as they see it— The Patriot Act : False accusations of opposing patriotism as DEI initiatives : false accusations of opposing diversity, equity, and inclusion — PolitiTweet.org

@DickidDaveson Discretionary judgment is obviously needed, but does not negate the need for articulated standards. Right now it's just a big black box, with all the arbitrary actions and chilling effects you'd expect. — PolitiTweet.org
