      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.

      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.

          But the letter completely ignores (likely on purpose) what you describe as the best way to deal with concerns about free speech.

          Replying to @HeerJeet @SamSacks

          Do you think there is a problem where reactionaries at this point basically by routine try to shut down legitimate criticism and rally support for themselves by pretending there is a big threat of illiberalism and cancel culture

          From my vantage point this seems like a quite serious problem that it is important not to play into
