Keep in mind that these are just events that actually took place. To measure the extent of conservative self-censorship, we'd need to consider events that were cancelled for benign reasons, like this Ben Shapiro talk at Georgetown.

I’d reframe this. One rarely asked, but quite legitimate, question is this: What do we owe to our allies? If structurally oppressed people are going to say that their allies have an obligation to defer to them (politically, epistemically, etc.), what is owed to them in return?
It’s a big thing, asking someone to entrust their energy and political judgment to you! I think Jade Schaff (Oberlin) wrote something about this, but can’t find it now. Anyway, it’s a legitimate issue that will not/should not go away.
To be clear: I don’t mean “what is owed” in the “what do we get in return?” sense. Rather, what obligation of care, of consideration, of caution does such a relationship create for the allied-with party?

This doesn't mention me directly, but it's obviously directed at me. And since it reflects the objections that many people had to my thread, it merits a response.
Objection #1: What about Trump/Orban/Brexit/Bolsonaro?

What about them? Yascha knows better than anyone that the illiberal/authoritarian turn in consolidated democracies long precedes contemporary SJW activism. See Brownlee 2002, Wright 2008, Levitsky and Murillo 2013.
As for populism in Europe and the United States, that too predates any kind of social justice activism. In fact, its rise is probably due much more to neoliberal failures (e.g. austerity) than left-liberal ones.

The SJWs Are Winning and You're All Just Going to Have to Deal With It: A thread.
Reading this @JohnHMcWhorter piece is an exercise in vertigo. The central claim is that "third wave anti-racism" (i.e. the broad nexus of PC, social justice, and ID politics) is doomed to failure. That the aims are good, but strategically it's a dead end.

theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
This is a common view among centrist liberals and libertarians: "Yes, racism and sexism are serious problems and must be addressed, but the SJW Left is going about it all wrong. In fact, its tactics are actually making these problems worse, not better."

I'm a Liverpool fan. Apparently, that means I'm embarrassing. I'm scum. Part of the worst, most annoying fan base around. A fan of a disgusting, disgraceful club that's offended by everything and ashamed of nothing, whatever that might mean today.
I'm unemployed and unemployable, because I'd just steal everything anyway. Like your hubcaps. Like your trainers. I'd sell them to buy drugs, I expect. The cash I make from them, when added to my dole money, would help pay for my flights to and from Norway.
Did I mention I'm a murderer? Did loads of murders, me. I murder all the time. Never been any justice for my murders either. I don't have to tell you WHO I've murdered, because you all know their names. They're mentioned frequently among the empathy you've shown.

The fact that you believe what you are writing only proves how effective the Russian campaign was. In fact, Clinton and Obama were the two most popular political figures in America from 2008 - 2015. Hands down. Clinton was actually outpolling her boss for much of that time. 1/
Hillary Clinton's approval did not fall below 50% until September of 2015.

And it only fell to those levels because Russian bots had began deploying misinformation about Clinton all over social media in early 2014.

@dhegertz1
The idea that Hillary Clinton was always unpopular is a complete myth. There is no polling data to back up that claim.

In June of 2014 Hillary Clinton was beating every single perspective Republican candidate in head to head match polling by large margins.

*** 50 Principles of Powerful Copywriting ***

1. Write with passion
2. Write your ad to one person
3. Appeal to your prospect's pre-existing beliefs
4. Don't try to educate the prospect into buying
5. Be entertaining

(Click here for more)
6. Don't be boring

7. Write intriguing headlines

8. Make the claim in your headline instantly believable

9. Or use a hard-to-believe claim in your headline... but immediately back it up with overwhelming proof
10. Tighten up your headline until you can't remove another word, without changing the meaning

11. Write from a place of abundance (It doesn't matter whether the prospect buys or not, either way, you're eating steak)

12. Don't use a complicated word when a simple word will do

So Trans Twitter (and Gay Twitter, and Leftist Twitter) are all pretty mad about this article. But most people who are mad about it haven't read it, which is a big problem when Singal worked very hard to give it the appearance of balance. So lets break down how dangerous this is.
Singal checked every box for this article look genuine in its concerns, questions, and conclusions. He talked to happy transitioners and doctor advocates and dispelled myths often used to argue against medical transition. But make no mistake, this article is disingenuous at best.
While Singal talked to people on all sides of the conversation the fact of the matter is he did not reach the conclusions of the article through his work. He went into this article believing that access to transition is becoming too easy, with the goal of convincing you of it too

So columnist Jason Johnson (@drjasonjohnson) just made up a bunch of stuff to smear me, so I guess I'll respond here.
For context this is about the GA Dem gov primary. Stacey Abrams vs Stacey Evans, both interesting, viable candidates.
Abrams is the more conservative candidate on a range of issues. Abrams voted w/the GA GOP to scale back early voting, a bill Evans opposed.
