Have any of the free speech worrywarts weighed in on the use of nuisance lawsuits to chill legitimate satirical comment? @jonathanchait @bariweiss @conor64 https://www.thedailybeast.com/ex-trump-adviser-jason-miller-sues-will-menaker-of-chapo-trap-house-over-tweet …

Jeet I like you both but you are, in fact, way closer than him

Mennaker and I are both leftist but there's a lot of Chapo stuff I disagree with, both in terms of substance and (more importantly, I think) analytical approach.

It’s not centrist silence. The narrative of cool conservative/libertarian tough guys and pants-wetting liberal babies is too flattering for conservatives to ever give up. Regardless of truth. It’s their only big cultural win, and it’s huge. Dwarfs the liberal cultural wins.

No, Jeet, you were trolling. And now you’re dissembling. If you wanted Conor to comment on this case, you would not have called him out as a “free speech worrywart,” meaning that his concerns are unjustified. The clear implication was that he is a hypocrite.

Free speech worrywart means someone who spends more time fretting about the state of free speech than I think is warranted. But it's precisely such people that should be concerned about libel chill. And yet they still refuse to comment on this case. That's a problem, no?
