    Jeet Heer Retweeted Jeffrey Sachs

    I'd go a little farther and say most anti-woke journalism is bullshit. There are a few cases of genuine cases of what is called "cancel culture" but they are outnumbered by manufactured outrage, produced by very cynical pundits.https://twitter.com/JeffreyASachs/status/1453877652645949477 …

    Jeffrey Sachs @JeffreyASachs
    This is very good. I also think it's worth saying, in a genuinely non-snarky and sincere way, that anti-woke journalism (or whatever you want to call it; you know it exists) is in terrible shape. Way too credulous and prone to confirmation bias. Not great! https://twitter.com/michelleinbklyn/status/1453875019000524816 …

        Examples of Wokeness Gone Wild, that Sullivan and ilk love, are anomalies. Eg. when students took over Evergreen State College it was almost in the school curricula. It didnt represent a national trend and it deserved the scrutiny we give students flashing privates at Mardi Gras.

        If one averts one's eyes, one doesn't see. Journalists and writers like @conor64, @jessesingal, @CathyYoung63, & @JohnHMcWhorter have all covered numerous cases of unjust and cruel cancelations, and they are the antithesis of cynical pundits.

        Also, Jeet conveniently forgets that in another recent case involving transgender access to single-sex female spaces -- the Wi Spa locker room story -- it's the progressive media that completely screwed the pooch.

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        1/ I'm fairly skeptical of the anti-woke brigade too, but I'm also uncomfortable about the general shape of discourse on the left. I always want to challenge ignorance, but do not want to yield social sanction or shaming as consequences of not immediately figuring shit out.

        2/ There's a lot of people on the left, including myself, who are concerned about discourse on the left because we care about it more than the right. Too much shaming, too little opportunity for people to grow. Being left to me is like a turning away from that attitude.
