Andrew Sullivan may not agree with what white racists say, but he’ll defend with his life their right—and only their right, exclusively—to say it.
And also he agrees with what they say.

Like Andrew Sullivan, I don't want to see some voices elevated while I do want to see other voices elevated.
Unlike Andrew Sullivan, the voices I want elevated are diverse, vital, and challenging to existing hegemony, while the voices I don't want elevated are toxic and bigoted.

Also unlike Andrew Sullivan and the rest of these "anti-woke" "cancel culture" substack social injustice warriors, I'm honest about my position.
If you pay even the slightest attention, you'll see clearly, every one of these right-wing alleged free speech defenders actually believes that what they call "cancel culture" is excellent and valid and good. They just want it to stay as it always has: targeted at others.
They've got no interest in diversity of thought. They don't want new ideas. They don't want an exchange. They just want to be able to speak their vapid minds in a world where everyone else knows challenging or criticizing their boring noxious worldviews will carry penalties.
