The old "we can't risk escalation" argument for not doing something.
I'm not a fan of cancelling people, but until the left disavows the practice, the rest of us can't just sit back and take it.
Go look into game theory.and the Prisoners Dilemma. That's the situation we find ourselves in. Right now if we are not willing to use all the peaceful tools at our disposal to try to move the overton window, but the left is willing to use those tools, we lose, our principles be damned and thrown away onto the dust heap of history.
