"Cancel culture" is something that does not exist but is a very popular concept among people who do terrible things and don't like being held accountable

The problem with the United States is not that there is TOO MUCH accountability but there is TOO LITTLE

That's why created my newsletter, Popular Information

It's amazing that the self-proclaimed champions of free speech scream STOP CRITICIZING ME YOU ARE ATTACKING FREE SPEECH every time they say something pernicious and someone responds

That is the opposite of free speech

If you believe in free speech, defend your position

Bret Stephens, who calls people's bosses when they write something mean about him on Twitter, has a column arguing the real problem is not Trump but the fact that Steve Bannon didn't get to talk at an event for the New Yorker in 2018

Excuse me?

I'm taking free speech back from this tiresome group of people who just complain all the time about being silenced but actually get paid lots of money to say boring things

I show my commitment to free speech by making my voice heard and defending my arguments on the merits
