      Jeet Heer Retweeted David Frum

      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 …

      Grappling with the difficult aspects of a historical legacy is NOT participating in cancel culture. It's being a grown up.

          Replying to @HeerJeet

          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

          What @davidfrum wants to cancel is any engagement with difficult truths. Please don’t cancel his ignorant bliss!

          Anything other than all hagiography all the time is “cancel culture.” Got it.

          you are quite right. We have to come to grips in our own ways with how we see the truth of people. But we cannot ignore there is a truth, even though it may be ugly. This is not cancelation, it is reality

          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.
