“The left was more willing to have a conversation a decade ago” is just gaslighting. No one was willing to talk about why we were spending more time and resources on AIDS than genetic diseases 40 years ago, let alone 10. Thomas Sowell was completely unpersoned by television networks after he proved there was no female wage disparity in the 80’s. Weinstein is just butthurt because his specific comfort zone was finally swallowed up by political correctness.
He makes a good point that always needs to be constantly and tiresomely repeated that cancelation is about severely restricting a person's access, influence, and perceived prestige, and not a literal vanishing of that person. Leftists love to gaslight about that. I'm sure they would love the literal vanishing (to the gulag) too if it actually happened. And only counter-establishment figures can be cancelled, as leftists have leftist privilege (and can't possibly understand.) But you are right about him complaining now simply because he is a target. If he was truly woken up by their behaviour, he would take a look back in history. That was what I did.
