If you are doing the exact same thing to your other that you are claiming they do to you and quote people like you, how is that progress? How are you actually overturning or eliminating more to the point a

rancid hierarchy that used to have white men at the top and everybody else below.

How are you eliminating hierarchy when you now have simply flipped it over

so that white men are off the bottom and everybody else above them.

All you are doing in that case is exchanging jerseys on the field.

But you're not changing the game. And now the good fight with Yasha Monk.

Hi, I'm Emily Yaffi.

I'm on the board of advisors of persuasion and I wrote a story for them called a taxonomy of fear.

In it I wanted to look at the elements of cancel culture, how it has become so powerful and pervasive,

and how we can best perhaps fight some of those elements.

And my concern about it is that in an open society,

especially one going through the kind of upheavals and difficulties we are.

It's more important than ever that all of us feel able to openly discuss difficult complicated issues. We arrive at better solutions if people can

hear each other out. But on the right and the left there are forces trying to silence people, punish them for ideas, even words that become unacceptable.

As a person of the left, I wanted to address some of the things

that are happening on our side.

And people have raised the question in the time of Donald Trump, what does it matter that anyone on the left does?

We just have to get rid of him.

I agree we have to get rid of him.

But I think Donald Trump gives us a very good example of what happens

when people see something going very wrong on their side. We have Trumpism now because Republicans who surely

disagree with many of his policies, his tone, the way he speaks about people, other countries have failed to stand up.
