Some of you are confused why I give support to people I largely disagree with.

I’m against most blacklists. My family suffered from this evil tactic in the 50s so we now fight it. The fact that a new Left rebranded it as “no platforming” or “cancelation” does nothing to fool me.
What’s the ToS strikes game? Blacklisting

The “Alternative Influence Network” report? A blacklist recommendation

Operation Chokepoint? Blacklist

Trust & Safety Star Chambers? Blacklisters

Cancel Culture? Blacklisting

I’m fighting this rebirth of McCarthyism as LeftCarthyism.
When you blacklist a human for their flaws you don’t just hit that person. You destroy an entire ecosystem. You damage their children. You shame their parents. You chill their friends who know them better than you do. You chill the world of ideas.

So do think twice progressives.
