For every person humiliated or fired for a small or nonexistent offense, many others will refuse to criticize even transparently absurd left-wing pieties. jonathanchait writes that progressives need to stop being afraid to speak out against the madness
in the middle of a pandemic because a group of prep-school teens he was leading on a foreign trip complained about his centrist politics and having quoted a racial slur.itself had two of its most beloved and decorated staffers retire suddenly after becoming the targets of progressive anger.
I am quite sure there are more such incidents that have gone unreported. When I stumbled on the news ofin 2020, one thing that struck me was that nobody wanted to talk about it. Since these purges occur at institutions whose staff are overwhelmingly on the left, most of the victims in these cases have beliefs that place them somewhere from the center to the left of the political spectrum. They usually don’t want to become famous for being a victim of cancel culture.
Denouncing the arson and looting that often sprung up around the George Floyd protests violated one such taboo. Even today, many progressives continue to defend Bennet’s firing and the response to the op-ed as just and necessary while refusing to admit the actual position at issue.
The motive for many progressives to follow these stifling conventions was sympathetic. If you believeand inequality are the greatest crisis in America, which I do, and you also believe the racism of the Republican Party is far more dangerous than any excesses on the left, which I also do, then you might hesitate to admit to anything that might be used by Republicans to discredit the cause of racial justice.
