    he wasn’t complaining about shadow bans in a philosophical sense, he was complaining about them being used against the “wrong” people the whole time. the sooner we realize that right wingers make self-serving complaints and dress them up as matters of fairness or civility, the less likely we are to fall for them in the first place.

      I haven’t seen any of the anti cancel culture people complain about anti-war groups being targeted currently. It was never about the principle, they just want to be able to say the n-word in public again.
