They'll get no sympathy from me. The warnings of "cancel culture" by those on the right were ignored for years. No one ever lost a job for publicly expressing a left leaning opinion. It's only now, where the natural conclusion of their virtue signaling ideology has worked against them, that they believe it's a problem. They made this poison, it's only fair they take a few spoonfuls along with the rest of us.

Not to mention, the insincerity of the pushback is thinly veiled in the underlying letter:

The forces of illiberalism are gaining strength throughout the world and have a powerful ally in Donald Trump, who represents a real threat to democracy.

This isn't about protecting free speech and free thought. This is about realizing that they overplayed their hand, with conservatism on the rise globally. It's about taking back control of the power they're losing.
