The New Yorker article is a very thoughtful engagement with O'Connor's work by someone who knows it well (Elie has written a great book on mid-century Catholic writers). It is the opposite of a cancellation.https://twitter.com/davidfrum/status/1286814363656101894 …

hmm seems like basically all the whining about cancel culture comes from bad faith reactionaries smearing any criticism they don't like time for another letter i guess

Criticizing cancel culture is grappling with the difficult aspects of a historical legacy of illiberalism. Moving beyond the temperament of a precocious adolescent.

You mean like whining because you can't express any corrosive thought without consequence? Yeah, that's utterly juvenile.
