There was a letter for that.

I mean, thank goodness Venmo and Substack exist so that people can give a hand, but even better would be taking a strong collective stance against what we described in the letter as an illiberal culture of censorious and intolerance that affects both the left and the right...

@thomaschattwill Yes, that’s the thing people were talking about when they were talking about cancel culture.

@damintoell That thing people were talking about!

@thomaschattwill I feel like this might be the moment all those bad faith attacks on you end. Obviously, I'm kidding.

@ShMMor 😂

@thomaschattwill The Venn Diagram of people who attacked the Harper’s Letter and people furious today that the NYT fired this editor for openly celebrating Joe Biden’s election is close to a single circle, if not a single circle.

@thomaschattwill Ordinarily, decorum frowns on saying "I told you so", but here, everyone gets a pass for saying "we fucking told you so".

@thomaschattwill So cancel culture is OK until you get cancelled yourself. Then it becomes tyranny.

@thomaschattwill Lots of people who weren’t on that letter took great risks professionally by speaking out against this before it was safe to do so with a group. They will never benefit from mainstream support or notoriety. We are merely riding in their wake. I think about them a lot.

@thomaschattwill @AndreasShrugged Scott said screaming hypocrisy won't end this madness, it will take holding the same standard to the ones doing it or who said it wasn't a thing or no big deal.

@thomaschattwill A weapon doesn’t care who it cuts.

@hillduhski But she and her defenders have been insisting it was. I have no insight into the situation and the Times says it was more than a tweet.

@thomaschattwill Gloating is a good look.

@thomaschattwill I wonder if Lauren feels that this climate is relevant to labor/jobs (to say nothing of public shaming) now "*I'm* a hard-working person who can no longer pay her bills." The lack of self-awareness is almost comical. Almost.
