      We really need the surgeon general to warn a lot of folks that Oberlin students and Twitter users are not actually the sum total of the American public sphere. https://www.newyorker.com/news/the-political-scene/david-french-sohrab-ahmari-and-the-battle-for-the-future-of-conservatism …pic.twitter.com/YB0U27Aqdr

      A lot of conservative writers and a not-small number of liberal ones have read way too many op-eds about cancel culture and now think they're five minutes away from a Maoist struggle session.

          What French describes here is more accurately described as "victimhood culture" than 95 percent of what gets labeled as such in WSJ and NRO columns.pic.twitter.com/E6W86ahDly

          Take that up with Kevin Hart.

          The really bizarre thing about this attitude is the denial. Even hard-core progs routinely bemoan the progressive "circular firing squad." But the moral vanity/righteousness that sparks this phenomenon isn't *incidental* to progressivism--it lies at its very core.

          Do you really think the only examples of cancel culture are the ones that make national news? For every Kevin Hart there are hundreds of average people terminated or otherwise ostracized for daring to express minority opinions.
