    Jeet Heer Retweeted Franklin Foer

    This is why I think of Peterson & others in so called IDW are free speech grifters. Peterson moans about student protesters & PC but is happy to lend support to a genuine authoritarian who bans an entire academic field.https://twitter.com/FranklinFoer/status/1134830581999689728 …

    Jeet Heer added,

    Franklin FoerVerified account @FranklinFoer
    Jordan Peterson makes common cause with Viktor Orban in the war on poltical correctness. His ally in the global struggle for open-mindedness has forcibly exiled its best university, installed minders in every college, and steers research grants to cronies. https://hungarytoday.hu/orban-meets-jordan-peterson-in-budapest/ …

        The cult of Orban among intellectual conservatives who find Trump distasteful is revealing. What they want is a smart, competent, well-spoken authoritarian.

        Article in Hungarian paper says Peterson & Orban agreed political correctness was the “invention of a small, ideologically driven group." Think about what that means.

        It's almost like they're all just white supremacists

        I read a bit of Peterson's 1999 book, and it's illuminating. He's got some psychiatric problems.

        “The IDW” should be retired. You have no evidence whatsoever that anyone in that “group” other than Peterson favors Orban. Put up or shut up Jeet

        To paraphrase JKG, "The modern fascist is engaged in one of white men's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for white supremacy and misogyny."

        Replying to @rhbrandon @HeerJeet

        What about the modern “progressive” revolutionaries, trying to banish anyone standing up for free speech & freedom of belief & women’s rights? Is their misogyny & sexism & intolerance justified because their totalitarianism is morally good?

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        To be clear: you don’t have any particular objection to banning an entire field of study, because you aren’t a free speech grifter? Or are you now a free speech grifter, worried just about phantoms of lost liberty, but only in Hungary?

        Private education is important. As long as education is intertwined with government and dependent on it for funding there is always this risk.

        You think that free speech is more common in private education settings?
