I have to admit, I did not expect to see a Jezebel headline and think, "Well, that is an extremely reasonable thing to say."

A good section:

>"And like many religions, the cancel culture congregation is teeming with members eager to point out the sins of others to deflect from their own. Mass free expression is chaotic, clearly, which at the very least means we should be wary of pat explanations that attempt to squeeze the nature of the problem down to 500 words and place certain manners of expression in tidy boxes on either side of an ideological divide."

Jezebel has always (perhaps fallaciously) been considered something of a thought leader in some communities. Maybe this gutsy article, which some their audience may not like, signals a return to some kind of capacity for normal discourse among human beings.

I hope so. The world is going to be a much nastier place if this new anti-free-speech in the name of manners and harm prevention stuff takes hold.

Free speech is the greatest equalizing force between the powerful and the non-powerful that has ever existed. The only people who are against free speech are the ones that plan on being among the powerful.
