According to not just the bloodhounds on the Right, but also too many centrists, the fundamental problem with “woke” radicals isn’t the supposed illiberal censoriousness or the extremist speech – but the fact that they are unruly. They must be disciplined, kept in check.

The “free speech crisis” panic was never about the content-neutral defense of noble principles. It has always been a conflict over who gets to draw the boundaries of what is and what’s not accepted speech. And established elites are clinging to what they see as their prerogative.

While the obvious surface-level hypocrisy of the Free Speech Punditry is annoying, on the level of the underlying political project, they are entirely consistent: The goal has always been to entrench the status quo and delegitimize claims and perspectives from those they disdain.

With this one… maybe this is just intended as parody of the polite-society-“moderate” status quo fundamentalism that likes to regard itself as “liberal”? Some kind of sarcasm? I must admit I’m not sure…
And they just keep coming: “If you engage in civil disobedience you will get arrested.” Easy! And this from someone who had “Democrat” in their bio and started their previous comment by claiming they - of course! - would have supported the 1960s civil rights movement. Perfect.
The polite mainstream widely rejected them with precisely those arguments: too radical, too loud, too disruptive, too divisive. Protests demanding justice, student protests, protests carried by a multiracial coalition are almost always unpopular as they are happening.
This is the type of comment I’ve been getting a lot for this piece: Always from self-regarding liberals who never want to grapple with the fact that the civil rights protests of the 1950s and 60s – the legacy of which they surely want to claim – clearly violated those principles.

@tzimmer_history Robust discussion and polite dissent… just not on campus That would be hilarious if it weren’t tragic
@tzimmer_history Weird, how many of these moderates are starting to sound just like the far right probably nothing to worry about that. Many of us have been yelling about the radicalization for months only to be told it isn’t happening.
Amazing how elite concern for free speech on campus gets turned on or off like flipping a light switch.
I wrote about why the phalanx of elite opinionists who pretended to be all riled up about the “free speech crisis” on college campuses for years has had nary a critical word to offer about the violent suppression of speech happening right now. This week’s piece (link in bio):
Every time someone says “why are students protesting Israel instead of this other thing,” take a second to google “students protested” + the other thing. You’ll rarely be disappointed.
so wishing that just a tiny fraction of the impassioned US college students for Palestine could take time to camp out & vociferously protest against our fatally corrupt Supreme Court; on the issue alone of Roe vs. Wade, why don't more young people care? US future belongs to you.
In my understanding, “protestor” and “terrorist” have essentially become synonyms in some part of the political ecosystem. With “students” tragically not far out of the venn diagram. Something society really needs to confront.
As I walked across Princeton’s campus today, I passed father & child: CHILD: What’s that daddy? *as she points to the anti-genocide camp* DAD: Those are terrorists. CHILD: What’s a terrorist? DAD: I’ll explain when you get older.
I was just the victim of a BRUTAL assault on the Yale campus. A 10-year-old kid on a bike came up to me and asked why my hair was white, because "you look like you're 20 years old."
@tzimmer_history The phenomenon is rather remarkable. I'm glad you remarked on it.
@tzimmer_history @jmwallach THANK YOU! So on point!!
Phil Ochs had some stuff to say about this.
This is the type of comment I’ve been getting a lot for this piece: Always from self-regarding liberals who never want to grapple with the fact that the civil rights protests of the 1950s and 60s – the legacy of which they surely want to claim – clearly violated those principles.
@Leberlaus @tzimmer_history It's in bio, I guess posting links to the newsletter site that resembles underwater craft lowers the posts' visibility in algorithm.
@tzimmer_history for his newsletter is a must-read as ever, linking these events to far-right threats to our communities & collective ideals alike: thomaszimmer.substack.com/p/student-revo…
What a pathetic, whiny, cowardly, dishonest, partisan little man Bill Barr is. He has replaced Ted Cruz as the most shameless, supine, and self-hating Trump supporter.
Bill Barr responds to Donald Trump mocking him after he said he would vote for him in 2024. And it's something.
Landslide is absolute critically mandatory listening and Zimmer's interview made me aware of it first.

This shit is why it was smart of the Columbia students to protect their messaging and select a press liaison. Gotta kick people who make signs like this out.
George Washington has officially joined the intifada (his statue is draped in a flag and keffiyeh at GWU in DC). Sign: "Students will go back home when Israelis go back to Europe." Photos taken today.
