I'm writing an op-ed for Newsweek about LibsofTikTok. It was going slow...but I had an angle staring me right in the face.

My former colleague endured death threats and had to leave their position partly because of @libsoftiktok and #chayaraichik.

Taking videos out of context and providing commentary to frame interpretation is a type of deception. There is a reason why that person was talking about MAPs. You may not agree, but it is irresponsible to not inform your audience of that reason.

Raichik *knew* that this video clip and her narration would lead to harassment.

If @libsotiktock and #chayaraichik cared about the harm they were doing, they would find ways to advocate for their positions without deceiving their audience and putting people in harm's way.

This is a thread about mendacity and how it ruins discourse around many culture war issues. I believe that if people voiced their concerns about social and cultural changes more honestly, we can come to better solutions.

For example, @realchrisrufo did not need to lie about how racial issues are taught in schools.

We all remember this.

This deception was (is) simply not necessary.

Rufo should have come at it honestly and advocated for teaching about race in academically legitimate ways and in accordance with our cultural values as Americans.
