Excessive praise is better than excessive negativity for sure! I thought it was worth responding to because the dynamics are important if you’re trying to counter arguments that cancel culture doesn’t exist. Like “how is <X person> canceled - X has a Substack with tons of subscribers!” In this case “canceled” might mean “this person has lost access to their position in established institutions for expressing an opinion that the majority of the country agrees with”
Just here to say how much I love Jesse’s SubStack commenters. I appreciate how nuanced their perspectives are, and how gracious they are to each other’s feedback. Prime example above.
