This is totally fucked.
Hey @DavidAFrench, you going to write about this? @BretStephensNYT?
Or is your tuttering concern over 'outrage culture' reserved exclusively for when a famous rich millionaire with a TV show defends pedophilia?

@DavidAFrench @BretStephensNYT The right isn't worried about "outrage culture"
They don't care about silencing speech on campuses.
They don't care about free speech in general.
They're perfectly comfortable using media to attack people for previously mistakes and harming their careers and reputations.

@DavidAFrench @BretStephensNYT What they care about is consequences for those with whom they identify, consequences for the Tucker Carlsons, the Jordan Petersons.
If Carlson faces backlash for calling Iraqis 'ignorant monkeys,' what next?

@DavidAFrench @BretStephensNYT Laura Ingraham used her national TV program as a platform to mock a high school student who survived a mass shooting.

Now Ingraham's endangering @chick_in_kiev over a mistake she *already* lost her job over.

@DavidAFrench @BretStephensNYT @chick_in_kiev They don't fear 'outrage culture,' they fear a counterpunch.
They're not concerned about the mob, just the people.
They don't care about speech; they care about speaking.
They don't care about bullying; they care about bullies.

@DavidAFrench @BretStephensNYT @chick_in_kiev Carlson said what he said and refuses to apologize or accept any consequence, and he profits by broadcasting equally bad things on his TV show each week, and absolutely deserves the opprobrium.
None of that is true of @chick_in_kiev
Yet they defend Carlson and attack Talia.

@DavidAFrench @BretStephensNYT @chick_in_kiev One more time:
They don't care about bullying; they care about bullies.
