   Nobody should draw any conclusions about what is a majority view among economists based merely on a tally of views overtly expressed on Econ Twitter...

   (Both (i) Twitter users & (ii) views publicly declared are likely to be selected)

   @jenniferdoleac

   I was just talking w a friend who went so far as to call current Twitter conversations about econ policy akin to McCarthyism --

   many people are afraid to share their decidedly-centrist views publicly for fear of being "cancelled

   I have now been cancelled several times and if anything gained followers in the process --

   so for better or worse am not afraid to share my thoughts with y'all

   It’s not binary or time-invariant my friend. Doleac is all over the place.

   I see. Woke fluidity. I guess she did not identify as woke when she wrote that.

   Doleac isn’t woke. She is a feminist, but otherwise entirely centrist. See her stance on minimum wages, which is of course the correct one. Hopefully she starts to realize that for academics the danger isn’t coming from the right.

   It is in Japan, Australia or the UK for example

   cancellation has no bearing in real academia, it has bearing when academics express views outside the scope of their research

   low eye-q economists don't get this because the scope of their research is the empty set and dogma is the norm in economics: when their views are not dogma anymore, they are cancelled while they were cancelling others in the past in the name of dogma

   Pity your brain does not allow you to develop independent thoughts and forced you to repeat NYLies thoughts like a parrot.

    Doleac is a femi//na//zist you mean?

    Doleac obviously is strong-willed and has her own opinions. Sometimes they align to the left, and sometimes they don't. She thinks for herself, something more people should try, both left and right.

    Doleac is a man hater. That is all. If you read her inane tweets through that lens then it all starts to make sense.

    I guess some backlash from the profession against wokes has been felt...
    For example, yesterday CS tweeted that she is “as centrist as they come” LOL!

    Doleac is woke but not left wing. She'll post rants about men (wokeness) but rose twitter would eat her alive if she posted some of her policy views.

    so maybe that's a new class of wokeness: SSW = self-serving wokeness?

    and Trevon L:
    “White people are obsessed with anything that allows them to be faux-repressed or faux-oppressed. As the saying goes “everybody loves to be Black until the police show up”
