The reporting in this story about Shor is important and what happened to him is a travesty. Almost all narratives about PC are hysterical centrist bed-wetting, but in this case there is a genuine wrong.https://twitter.com/jonathanchait/status/1271076001615929346 …

Absolutely the case that there is tremendous over-reaction & bed-wetting (all the talk of "cultural revolution" & "twitter Robbespierres" etc.). a function of people afraid of losing their phoney baloney jobs & status that comes with it.https://twitter.com/OsitaNwanevu/status/1272636212696801288 …

My larger argument with
@jonathanchait is that it's not true that ideological firings over non-conformity are antithetical to liberalism. The biggest ideological purge in USA history took place under Chait's hero Harry Truman. We need to do better than liberalism.Show this thread -

An employee made a public declaration of a hostile workplace! Lee is certainly aware of the noxious “black on black crime” trope. Like yah it can be an HR issue.

So certain specific groups of workers game and exploit the system showing how powerless they are, and the fix for this abuse of their powerlessness would be to make the workers more powerful? /1

Is the source of these powerless employees very effective wielding of power the courts, or is it the press and twitter pushing down the company's stock and public image? How, Jeet, do you suggest we make these powerless employees getting other employees fired more powerful? /2

This is silly. Complaints about "safety" to HR are for things like dark parking lots, sexual harassment, wet floors in the breakroom. They were NEVER intended for written subject matter.

That assumes that you accept the premise that an op-ed expanding on an (idiotic) idea that is already under national discussion constituted a clear and present danger. Maybe it did but that's a debatable premise.
