Why are people saying this is brave? Caplan simply went with the tide in 2020, and he's going with the tide now. The anti woke momentum and voice is dramatically larger than the woke one now.

Still losing the battle though. Sadly, this stuff is as strong as ever in academia. The left always wins, three steps forward and (perhaps) one step backward, but still marches on. We are fighting a rear guard action.
Bryan did a similar thing with Ukraine. At the start of the war (when a peace deal was on the table) he rebuked Hanania for mimizing the threat of Putler and said that he canтАЩt be appeased.
Now he says that in fact appeasement arguements arenтАЩt that big a deal and we should prefer a bad peace if thatтАЩs all we can get.
All that changed is the level of moral panic he would have to put up with, but itтАЩs too late for Ukraine.

Yeah, this isn't brave. But it's still better for him to speak out late than to not speak out at all.
Yes, but there should be some moral searching and a real commitment to doing better in the future.
