But we're seeing the opposite. Speaking against counter-culture and being cancelled.
- wait_a_minute 6y agoThat is not the opposite. That is just the beginnings of what I said - the monster eating the very people who helped create it. Both left and right need to agree that hitting working individuals in the pocketbook over political disagreement is not okay, even if someone says something that is "offensive" to someone else. Obviously there are lines that have to be drawn in the work place, but the intellectuals signing the Harper letter weren't concerned by non-toxic workplaces. They were talking about something much worse that we can all agree is vile and dangerous.
- helixhelix 6y agoLines must be drawn with cancel culture. To avoid any slippery slopes, will eliminating or demoting this person hurt the project? In case of Linus taking a forced holiday to "psychology rehab" and Dr. Stallman being pushed to resign by someone admittedly too frustrated to do her job, meritocracy seems to be a good start. Too late, since a posse of wolves in sheep's wool (or XY-chromosomed persons in female-gendered clothing), is fixing to end meritocracy in favor of inclusivity. Would you agree to such a sacrifice?
