That the guy who set up the Harper's letter approvingly linked to a Freddie deBoer blogpost arguing that the only reason to disagree with the letter is because you hate free speech is a little on the nose, but reality works out that way sometimes.
Freddie deBoer: "So how can someone object to an endorsement of free speech and open debate without being opposed to those things in and of themselves? You can’t. And people are objecting to it because social justice politics are plainly opposed to free speech."
This isn't free speech advocacy, and it's not thoughtful debate on divisive issues of consequence. It's fatuous in-group name-calling, and it doesn't help to advance the project of honest discussion across ideological lines.
