    This is basically my position: the best way to deal with concerns about free speech is to strengthen labor power via unions and legal changes making firing harder. UBI would also help.https://twitter.com/JoshuaHol/status/1280539382047559682 …

    If you’re bent out of shape about people being fired by “cancel culture” but don’t have much to say about at-will employment or the long war on organized labor then I don’t see any reason to take your gripes seriously.

        then why did you sign an open letter on this subject that leaned heavily into conservative culture war bullshit and didn't mention labor solidarity or unions at all

        Funny that the letter you signed on to doesn't mention labor or at will employment at all. It did talk a lot about ideological conformity and illiberalism though.

        I don't think that letter exhausts my opinions on this matter and the general principles in it were true enough.

        Jeet, can you point to the part of the Harper's letter that talks about unions & UBI rather than privileged liberal grievance platitudes? I missed it.

        Like, how can you suddenly heel-turn and sign a document decrying "cancel culture" when you obviously know better?
