You realize this is the part of the movie where the villain's dangling off a cliff and begging for help and we all yell "LET HIM FALL" at the screen, right, because we can see he's clutching a gun in his free hand?

being able to say whatever the fuck you want isn't partisan

Unfortunately, everyone who advocated for that position was mocked, banished, fired, suppressed, and cancelled by the people whining about being cancelled now. I love Glenn, but he's foolishly taking up the cause of Michael Eisen, detailed in The Atlantic:

Glenn Greenwald

Just a reminder of some of the insanity that has emerged in the United States over this attack on Israel regarding restricting free discourse, and how it rivals and often surpasses some of the worst repressive measure imposed after 9/11 and the George Floyd killing:

Let's look up what Michael Eisen had to say last year:

Michael Eisen

has anyone, anywhere actually been cancelled?

And what's he saying now?

Michael Eisen

That's a fair critique. I think it's clear that what was once a good thing - the ability for individuals to speak out about abuses of power has been transformed into something terrifying - mobs that overrun institutional checks and balances.

"What was once a good thing." He's still in favor of people being silenced - just not when it happens to him.

Michael Eisen set the fire, and he's still stoking it - from the inside. I'll defend Glenn, because he's been consistent and principled. I might defend some of the vanishingly few leftists who can say the same, if I happen to be in a good enough mood to bother to verify their story.

But Michael Eisen, and everyone like him, can burn.
