We can classify witch hunts by how long such paths can be. E.g. in a level 3 witch hunt, you can be targeted for defending someone who defended someone who was targeted. I saw that happen in 2020. I don't think I've seen 4 hops yet though. | We can classify witch hunts by how long such paths can be.

- J. Mark Ramseyer (Harvard Law) and Amy Chua (Yale Law)
Diane Klein (LaVerne, Chapman)
- Chapman Law teaching schedule.
Gordon Klein
- Summer 2020: Long and detailed FIRE letter to UCLA.
- Summer 2020: "Statement of the Committee on Academic Freedom," the U of California system committee chaired by Professor Eugene Volokh. Susannah Lohman is a member too.
- Summer 2020: "Fire Dean Bernardo" petition with 1,200 signatures and 34 pages of comments.
- October 2020: "UCLA reinstated Gordon Klein. Who will reinstate his reputation?" Alex Morey, FIRE.org. This is a very good interview with Gordon Klein in which he carefully praises FIRE and the Committee on Academic Freedom and, it looks like to me, paves the way for a possible lawsuit on breach of confidentiality by Dean Bernardo. Very good photo of Klein at the top, too.
- The UCLA AAUP leadership, which includes Susannah Lohman; and the AAUP State of California leadership.

Level 2 and 3 Witch Hunts
2021 and 2019 ( Paul Graham
We can classify witch hunts by how long such paths can be. E.g. in a level 3 witch hunt, you can be targeted for defending someone who defended someone who was targeted. I saw that happen in 2020. I don't think I've seen 4 hops yet though.
It happened to me. A mob came after me when I tweeted this because they thought I was defending Stallman for defending Minsky. (Actually I wasn't. Stallman just happened to be one of two people getting cancelled then.)

If we extended human lifespans sufficiently, everyone would be cancelled. The drift in moral fashion would ensure that even those most carefully orthodox in their opinions would have said something that later became heretical.
