6/ and now we get the conflation "if you disagree with me that everyone should conform to the One Right Social Model, then you're obviously a trumpkin". I have long supported exit and subcultures for ALL SORTS of weirdos and minorities.https://twitter.com/paologerbaudo/status/1458036949382537220 …

7/ same energy as a conservative saying in 1975 "I proudly announce at work that I'm heterosexual, and if the gays don't want to announce their sexuality in the workplace, then that has nothing to do with an unwelcome environment; they're just cowards"https://twitter.com/paologerbaudo/status/1458042037928878082 …

8/ the classic framing is, of course "The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread."

9/ anyway, "Thanks God I don't have mad or disturbing ideas that I'd be ashamed to share [ and therefore I have no need for a culture of tolerance ]" definitely wins the Voltaire award for the day. Truly, academics like you are an inspiration to free thinkers everywhere!

11/ If 51% of the population seizes the one chalk board and uses it to present their opinion, and bands anyone else from touching it, which is a better way to engage? (a) setting up a second chalkboard and writing contrary ideas on it? (b) fruitlessly begging the 51% for chalk?

14/ Are you a pure prescriptivist on this topic, telling people that they're wrong to "retreat" (when they've been forced out), or are you a descriptivist with any interest in finding out why they do so? >>>https://twitter.com/paologerbaudo/status/1458063189229379593 …

Paolo Gerbaudo @paologerbaudoReplying to @paologerbaudo @thepiclord and 2 othersI just find it quite sad when people think that the only way to deal with society is to retreat in their gated university with people who think the same as they do. Democracy needs people to speak with people they disagree with.3 replies 0 retweets 30 likesShow this thread
15/ you're a sociologist and sociology is "The study of human social behavior, especially the study of the origins, organization, institutions, and development of human society." What do your studies tell you is the cause of this "retreat" ?

16/ progressives don't want non-progressives to "exit" because that denies them the ability to condescend to them, to keep pulling a "Lucy" and pretend that maybe you can kick the football this time, to lord their power over them https://twitter.com/razibkhan/status/1458066823287607303 …
