“There is no general doctrine which is not capable of eating out our morality if unchecked by the deep-seated habit of direct fellow-feeling with individual fellow-men.”
Pamela Erens, Middlemarch and the Imperfect Life: Bookmarked

“after the financial crisis, the Obama DOJ slammed big banks with massive fines so it could trumpet that it was sending tons of relief to consumers. Then it told banks they could pay less than half that much if they donated the money to Obama鈥檚 favorite nonprofits instead. And being fond of money, the banks took the DOJ up on the offer. Now that鈥檚 a great quid pro quo鈥攖he DOJ gets to look good, the banks get to keep most of their money, and the liberal nonprofits get lots of funding.”

“In practice, deconstructive approaches to language therefore look very much like nitpicking at words in order to deliberately miss the point.”
Helen Pluckrose, Cynical Theories: How Activist Scholarship Made Everything about Race, Gender, and Identity鈥攁nd Why This Harms Everybody

“As I spoke with academics and university students, I lost count of the number who echoed Tuvel鈥檚 worry. In journalism and law and certain other sectors of the reality-based community, coercive conformity had made inroads, but in universities it was reconfiguring the whole intellectual landscape, for students and professors alike. As a professor told me, 鈥淭here is no bigger filter bubble than any selective university in the United States. It is definitely the case that at these institutions, which are supposed to be founded on the idea of a marketplace of ideas, there are all kinds of expressions you can鈥檛 say now. Anything that relates to race or gender, you had best keep your mouth shut if you have a point of view that deviates from the predominant woke one. You鈥檙e going to get your ass in trouble.”
Jonathan Rauch, The Constitution of Knowledge: A Defense of Truth

“In the real world, however, the claim that censorship or enforced orthodoxy protects minorities and the marginalized has been comprehensively disproved, again and again and again. 鈥淐ensorship has always been on the side of authoritarianism, conformity, ignorance, and the status quo,鈥 write Erwin Chemerinsky and Howard Gillman in their book Free Speech on Campus, 鈥渁nd advocates for free speech have always been on the side of making societies more democratic, more diverse, more tolerant, more educated, and more open to progress.鈥30 They and former American Civil Liberties Union president Nadine Strossen, in her powerful book Hate: Why We Should Resist It with Free Speech, Not Censorship, list the horrors and oppressions which have befallen minorities in the name of making society safe from dangerous ideas. 鈥淟aws censoring 鈥榟ate speech鈥 have predictably been enforced against those who lack political power,鈥 writes Strossen.31 In America, under the Alien and Sedition Acts, authorities censored and imprisoned sympathizers of the opposition party (including members of Congress) and shut down opposition newspapers; under the Comstock laws, they censored works by Aristophanes, Balzac, Oscar Wilde, and James Joyce (among others); under the World War I anti-sedition laws, they convicted more than a thousand peace activists, including the Socialist presidential candidate Eugene V. Debs, who ran for president in 1920 from a prison cell.32 In more recent times, when the University of Michigan adopted one of the first college speech codes in 1988, the code was seized upon to charge Blacks with racist speech at least twenty times.33 When the United Kingdom passed a hate-speech law, the first person to be convicted was a Black man who cursed a white police officer.34 When Canadian courts agreed with feminists that pornography could be legally restricted, authorities in Toronto promptly charged Canada鈥檚 oldest gay bookstore with obscenity and seized copies of the lesbian magazine Bad Attitude.35 All around the world, authorities quite uncoincidentally find that 鈥渉ateful鈥 and 鈥渦nsafe鈥 speech is speech which is critical of them鈥攏ot least in the United States, where, in 1954, the U.S. Postal Service used obscenity laws to censor ONE, a gay magazine whose cover article (鈥淵ou Can鈥檛 Print It!鈥) just happened to criticize the censorship policies of the U.S. Postal Service.”
