    Jeet Heer Retweeted Greg Lukianoff

    People being robustly critical of his organization and its former staffers has nothing to do with creating a "stifling climate." Rather, it's the essence of free speech. The fact he doesn't understand that basic point is a prime example of what's wrong with FIREhttps://twitter.com/glukianoff/status/1501711981677617157 …

    Greg LukianoffVerified account @glukianoff
    THREAD: Former @TheFIREorg intern @emmma_camp_ published a terrific essay in @nytimes about the stifling climate on college campuses. As if to prove her point, her piece was met with outrage & denial in a predictable culture war pattern. 1/16 https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/07/opinion/campus-speech-cancel-culture.html …

        It's almost as if they're actually interested in... stifling free debate.

        it is worse than that. his tweets are an attempt to stifle criticism by claiming it is illegitimate, and not just an honest disagreement about the merits.

        Is that not the claim in the tweet from Mr. Lukiannoff? Genuine question.

        This seems so simple. Like just say, "Lots of people criticized it, fine, that's what we're all about, here's where they're wrong."

        He understands it perfectly well. His side is seizing power to harm their foes, that is all.

        really enjoying this new standard where criticisms of right wing ideologies are an assault on freedom of speech itself

        Some do still think no matter how sexist or homophobic or racist they may sound, you’re still required to respect them, or it’s not the same white privilege that conservatives have always had. There’s people of all walks feeling angry about those changes too.
