Graham has always strongly opposed censorship, group think, purity spirals etc.

  But he wasn’t willing to write an article like this until Trump’s election provides him cover. It’s funny how many moderate liberals have suddenly found their voices.

    He's been vocal about it on Twitter for years, for example. Btw pg is as anti-Trump as he is anti-woke. I wonder how many heads in this thread would not explode if they really took that in.

    "What you can't say" (https://www.paulgraham.com/say.html https://www.paulgraham.com/say.html) is 21 years old now. "Heresy" (https://www.paulgraham.com/heresy.html https://www.paulgraham.com/heresy.html) was during Biden's tenure. "Orthodox Privilege" (https://www.paulgraham.com/orth.html https://www.paulgraham.com/orth.html) was during the height of lockdown-era BLM. "Keep your Identity Small" (https://www.paulgraham.com/identity.html https://www.paulgraham.com/identity.html) is from the beginning of Obama's tenure. Criticizing "wokeness" today is not at all inconsistent with PG's historically stated opinions and beliefs.
