I don't see the contradiction. He's arguing that this is the tit, in response to the left's tat (as in tit for tat).
The left either needs to:
1. Play by their own rules (in this case, fire the guy)
2. Stop doing it to their political opponents
- whimsicalism 5y agoThese are rules that you've invented, not every "cancellation" results in a firing even for people posting actually racist stuff. Indeed, there are plenty of people with racist posts who are routinely not fired by these companies. The contradiction is pretty clear - the guy is decrying these tactics, but still saying this person should be fired using exactly those same tactics.
- chitowneats 5y agoInteresting that your comment implies that the blog post in question wasn't "actually racist". To me that speaks volumes.
- whimsicalism 5y agoI can see where you got that implication, it wasn't the intention of my comment - the last few line of the blog post are obviously anti-semitic. I probably should have used the word "really" rather than "actually", as I was trying to contrast the minor response with the harm of the offense, not contrast other racist things with this racist thing.
